Hey all, Little while since i've been on here. Last week was prescribed a combo tablet of 1mg finasteride and 1mg minoxidil. I wasnt even aware you could get minoxidil in pill form. Id much prefer to pop a pill than rub sh*t in my head every day. Anywho... has anyone had experience with this? I've been...

Hi all, Wondering if there would be much point using minoxidil on say one temple for a number of months to see how effective it is for re growth? Starting to thin at the front around to the temples. On finasteride for 6 months. Wondering if minoxidil is for me now? Has anyone heard of or had success with...

That's great it's working even if slowly though. Has the hairline recovered? If you she's I've read its a good sign. That's what I'm a bit worried about. I'm only thinning front cm to temples and if that was to shed my hairline would jump up noticeably. That's my one hesitation. Really...

Hey californiaoceans, How have you found the minoxidil foam? U mentioned it's re grown a bit. How long have u been using it? Any sides? Im already on finasteride but only thinning at hairline so considering going on it. Maybe even test patching one temple first to see how it goes. Any advice?

It will rape my skin? Surely this isn't something that happens to everyone. U had a reaction. Doesn't mean I will. Or everyone will. I'm on finasteride to keep what I got and was just thinking that minoxidil might help me thicken up what areas are thinning. Was looking for people to suggest whether or...

So it would be futile attempting to apply minoxidil just to where I am thinning at the front? I was hoping I might see some better results from the finasteride. Just under 6 months into it so perhaps I should give it some more time. It's hair depressing as I like to wear my hair up at the front and with the...

Hey Team, Still hoping I can get some feedback from the knowledgeable lot here. Should minoxidil be thrown in the mix? Or should I wait? Or should I just not bother and stick with finasteride? Either way I'll stick with finasteride but am wanting to save the hairline as much as possible or atleast give me the...

Hey so here's a pic of the hairline...front on and the temple. Unsure if minoxidil would help...There's so much conflicting anecdotal evidence. advice is appreciated

Hey Kpat, thanks for your reply.Really appreciate any help I can get. I will take some pictures tonight and try and show you. I thinks its called diffuse thinning. Like where its starting to thin and you can see a bit of scalp. I've been on finasteride for almost 6 months and just trying to gauge...

hairchaser have u had much success with regrowth from minoxidil? Can you have a look at my thread: http://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/interact/showthread.php/80523-On-finasteride-Now-minoxidil It has pics. I've been on finasteride for almost 6 months now. Curious whether I should get minoxidil in the mix also?

Hey thanks for your response. Can I ask why u think there isn't much potential for re growth? Even if there is limited potential isn't it worth a try?

Hey guys, Just hoping for some advice. Been on finasteride 1.25mg coming up on 6 months. Can't say a lots changed since I've started. Don't think its gotten worse. I've uploaded some pics. Im only thinning like 1cm deep from the front of my hairline to my temples. Is it time to get on minoxidil? Or...

Hi Cthulhu, Cheers for your response. If I was going to use it I would only use it temple to temple and 1cm deep from hairline if that makes sense. So very little. What you mean it makes your hair look bad? Just when its in being absorbed or in general?

Hoping someone can still give me some advice around whether to jump on minoxidil or hold tight for another 6 months or so?

Hey Fred, Hows the scalp looking? Hey man, Im on finasteride now. 1.25mg a day. im a NW2. But have a bit of thinning in the hairline. You can slightly see my scalp through my hair. Ive been on finasteride about 5 months. Would you recommend starting minoxidil? You mentioned you saw great results but mentioned...
