Zinc prevents hair loss and that is why people use Zix ( though concentration is the key ). The thing is you should give enough gap between Zinc-based topical and Minoxidil. Ideal would be 2hours+ gap but if you can't wait that long we should give at least 30 min gap ( this is as per my...

Be careful with Zinc Pyrithione shampoo. It is known to decrease hair diameter. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498517/ Also reducing your dosage is a good idea as there is no much less scalp DHT suppression between 1mg and 0.5mg

Very good progress. Can you tell us what is the % of finasteride in your topical solution?

Please do not use these serums. I have used many serums in the last 2 years including Ordinary Serum. This serum makes hair greasy and does not help at all. Maybe it can help people with Telogen Effluvium but with males with Androgenetic Alopecia, I hardly see any good reviews. I stopped it after using it for a month as it...

I have tried 2ml once a day, 1ml once a day, and 1ml twice a day. Best results I get when I used 1ml twice a day. I use the standard version Regaine in which I add a bunch of other ingredients as well ( caffeine + Azelaic acid + Vit B5 + Rosemary Oil + Peppermint Oil )

Also, microneedling will increase absorption of Topical finasteride ( in case you plan to add it )

It is available on minoxidilmax website. Check with your Doctor before using it. My doctor has advised me not to use it.

Alpecin Sports CTX shampoo with peppermint and rosemary oils added to it

Hi All, I am planning to add cetirizine to my Min solution to make it a 1% solution. I have come across a study that states that it was indeed found helpful in treating Androgenetic Alopecia. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28604133/ My current Min solution has the following ingredients: 1. Min 2. Azelaic Acid...

Could you kindly elaborate? I do not know the meaning

Hi All, I am planning to start Zix ASAP. I have asked a few questions about composition and solvent. I expect that Zix should cause a bit of shedding initially as most new hair loss treatments do. Does anyone over here have any experience of initial shedding on Zix? If yes, after how many...

As it is a DHT blocker, it can also induce a finasteride-like initial shed when used after a long time. This is my hypothesis for hair fall while using Keto shampoo.

I checked with my dermatologist. He also agreed that Min and any Zinc based compound should never be mixed together. Also, he mentioned that the two topicals ( Min and Zix should be applied with a gap of 30 min at least - better would be 2 hours )

I am from India and we eat garlic almost every day and in every meal since childhood. I have used garlic to treat my alopecia areata as well in 2020. It did not help in Alopecia Areata and eating garlic does not help me with Androgenetic Alopecia either. Balding depends on genes, hormone levels, diet, lifestyle...

I am using Melatonin based serum and it is helping me to reduce the shedding. Melatonin does help with reducing the shedding in my opinion. I use this one - https://www.1mg.com/otc/folliserum-hair-growth-serum-otc330362. It has Adenosine as well. You may try some other brand that is available in...
