    Increased Hair Fall - Minoxidil Losing Effectiveness?

    Difficult to answer this question without knowing how long you have been using it? I don't think minoxidil loses it's effectiveness. I have been using it since 2007 and there have been months where I have constantly loss hair, but then it gets better again. Hair growth is phasic in nature...

    DualGen Minoxidil

    I used the 15% for almost two years, having used rogaine 5% for 4 years previous to that. The 15% works, even on the hair line, but, just like when I first started on minoxidil the initial cosmetic results are amazing, then then the hair eventually synchronises and the outcome wasn't that much...

    Need advice if you are from UK and order Finasteride from overseas?

    I think it's probably wiser to keep ordering small quantities more frequently for now. I've ordered 2-3 months supply over the last 6 months without issues. I did panic a bit over my last order as it took about a month to come.

    ukfinasteride.info doesn't work :(

    The site has been taken down. Only option you have now is to approach your doctor or try an online pharmacy.

    Finasteride and the front hairline AGAIN (sorry)

    Been on 1mg finasteride for about 2.5 years now. finasteride definitely has an effect on my hair line (I believe it changed overall texture but on the other hand probably maintaining it rather than regrowing) but by far the biggest influencer on how my hairline is looking is minoxidil - I quickly notice losses...

    minoxidil application advice?

    Very unlikely after one day on finasteride!

    minoxidil application advice?

    Put on only few drops on the temple areas you're worried about - not the whole 1ml as this will be too much. Take regular pictures of the rest of your hair incase you need apply to other areas in the future.

    Finasteride UK Users

    Honestly, I have had finpecia from several online sources now, all have been slightly different - from packaging to taste of pill. I switched to finax for a year too. The ukfinasteride batch felt good over all and I thought id take the hit on extra price for peace of mind. But it looks like...

    Obtaining Finasteride

    Ukfinasteride has stopped selling the 1mg version of finasteride (finpecia). Only two 5mg options are available now. There seems to have been a recent difficulty getting certain generics of finasteride from the usual online websites people have been using. The prices have gone up too. Well that's my...

    using Rogaine once a day or stopping a week

    As a twice daily user of minoxidil for over 6 years, I can testify that switching to a once daily dose for maintenance may not be a good idea. I have done this for the last 4 months and my hair has gradually thinned again. It would depend on how aggressive ones hair loss is, and how dependant...

    Rogaine for temple?

    Definitely worked in this region for me.

    Rogaine route

    Rogaine can work anywhere you apply it. It certainly slowed the progression of recession for me so I would say give it a try, so long as you are happy to stay on it permanently. By the way, you may want to apply it just once a day initially to see if its enough to maintain.

    Tips for applying Rogaine 2x day

    I use to get home from work and dunk my hair under the water tap. Any tap - bath, bathroom sink. So no shampoo, just rinse hair under water for few seconds ready for second application of minoxidil just before getting into bed.
