IMO Toppik is is "ideal" for persons such as myself with dark curly hair. There is not a problem with blending since the powder is same color as my hair. No problem with it coming off because the curls retain the flakes (Even under a fairly steady drizzle of rain). The hairline is a bit more...

I was wondering about that, I never had dark lines below my eyes or little wrinkles right below. Never thought it might be the min. Hmm I'm definately gonna have to try this foam.

It's a pain because I'm a diffuse thinner so I have to apply it all over the top, crown and frontal areas. Also, I have a lot of hair (relatively!), so there's a lot of time involved in moving them to the side to ensure that the soln drops fall directly on the scalp. Then we have the most...

Hey guys, so I've been looking into some anti-androgen treatments and bascially have found spironolactone, RU, and revivogen. RU is out because I'm not a chemist, and revivogen is way too expensive! spironolactone would work, but then I would have to cease my min applications. Are there any other reliable...

Is the application time less than using the old dropper? I know it takes me 15-20 mins with the stupid dropper.

Are you guys referring to dark circles / wrinkles around the eyes?

Aker, it's difficult to apply minoxidil to wet hair because you can't tell which areas have been covered since your whole scalp is damp. I have been drying my hair with a blow dryer set on cold and then applying the soln. Initally I was also paranoid about the soln not sufficiently coming into...

I have been experiecing STM since starting finasteride a couple of yrs ago and it has continued after switching to dutas. Like one of the other posters said, little things like where I leave my keys, cell phone, what I came into a room for. Wierd thing is that its only for tasks that I forget things...

So I've been using Jason's shampoo + conditioner for a little over a week and really don't see any change in my hair volume. Perviously, I was using Dove volumizer which worked wonders and gave my hair a thick full appearance. Now, I alternate between Jasons in the morning and Dove in the...

I got this stuff but am unsure when to use it. I figure its risky to use it right before or after my minoxidil application, since it might interfere with absorption. Do any of you guys use minoxidil in conjuction with this serum?

Thank god there's others who are experiencing a shed after the initial 6 months. Started on the duta/nizoral/minoxidil regimen back in beginning of march and had great success towards the end of the 3rd month. My frontal hairline advanced nearly half an inch and my hair thickened a bit all around...

Thanks for the replies guys. This is just a basic urine drug screen, so I'm hoping they'll check for major narcotics and such. Wouldn't they have to go out of their way to test for concealers, metabolites etc?

Hey guys, I have a dumb question. Is there any way dutasteride or minoxidil. can cause me to fail a urine drug test? I guess it was dumb of me not to tell the nurse that I'm on it, now I'm worried that I might fail and cost myself this great job.

Did you stop using minoxidil. altogether, or have just been using it once a day? If you quit it altogether, this might be one of the reasons for your increased hair loss. I'm a diffuse thinner, and religiously apply 5% minoxidil twice daily. During the first 2 months I was devastated since it seemed...

Aplunk, that's good news. Sounds similar to the changes in my hairline. It's been about 10 weeks and it seems like those tiny blacks hair are finally growing longer. Just wish my crown would hurry up and improve! My front however has definitely seen an improvement (fingers crossed). Rubbing...
