Beaner...actually the majority of my posts are questions, which have been replied to very helpfully over the months. Don't know where you get the majority of negative posts from.... Anyway, I am not trying to deter people pal. Just stating my experience. If that freaks you out, sorry. Chill...

Firstly, I think you misunderstand. I am not "trying to deter others." I am simply stating my experience-I found this most useful when I first visited this forum. Secondly, I am rather surprised that you are "pleased" with the results after only two months or less! If you are really seeing...

I guess you could say I have maintained.... For me, I don't care enough to warrant spraying chemicals onto my head twice a day merely to maintain what I have. I simply can't be bothered with it, and with giving the money to a drugs company to chase after something that ain't going to happen...

It will make not one shred of difference.......

I would agree. Of course, I am not 20%, I am one person, but I think people have very high and often unlikely expectations of this liquid.

Re: brands etc....don't sweat it. None of the stuff in them makes any difference. You will not become more hairy by changing brands. I have been spreading it all over the affected area. Used the spray, the dropper and the nozzle. Also tried 1.5 and 1 ml. No difference. Again, extra hair will...

Just an observation, and my personal experience.... This stuff is pretty much sh*t, in any form, or brand or concentration. Sorry to say.... I have been religiously sparying it onto my head for six months now, morning and night, and see no improvement whatsoever. I initially thought it was...

Thanks Guys. I wonder if heat reacts badly with the alcohol in the solution. Could anyone tell me-I normally apply, and then leave my head, without washing it, until evening and then apply my second dose of minoxidil. Does anyone think it might help to wash my head a few hours after application...

Hi ! I wonder if I could get some advice. I am three months into generic minoxidil treatment (Headway brand) and have hit a problem. Until now I have had no itching or any problems, but suddenly my scalp is reacting badly :freaked2: In the last two days it has been tremendously itchy, and has...

Hi. I just wanted to submit this post as I have read a few lately that have stated that new hair will not be grown on Minoxydil alone, but rather current level of baldness will be maintained. I have been using a generic 5% brand called Headway (I think it is Australian) for two months and two...

Thanks for the advice! I had noticed that most of the people on this forum seem to have pretty minimal hair loss, when compared to folk like myself-40 something and been bald and not really cared about it for many years. I may be asking for a miracle to expect much.. I have not had any kind of...

Hi! I started using rogaine 5 weeks ago. My second bottle is a generic (I think Australian) called Headway. No complaints. Seems pretty much the same, except more is dispensed with each pump.(Therefore only four pumps per 1ml.) I have no results yet, and know its too early. I have kept my...

Hi ! Hair loss has never really been an issue, as I have had a shaved head for the past 10 years. I am now regrowing my hair (midlife crisis I guess!) and am fairly bald. This is not a surprise-it just never really bothered me as I had a shaved head for so long! I have developed an interest in...
