I never understand these threads. I use toppik (light brown) and can soak my head in the shower and it still looks the same when I get out, there is no running or difference at all, it still looks thick just wet. My hair is only about 1" on top if that makes any difference. This stuff holds.

Your temples look perfect, congratulations on your fantastic results. One question I haven't seen asked is what % of minoxidil are you using? 5%?

back to the topic at hand I'm surprised your hair can be that long/thick after just 2 months of minoxidil. Is the photo misleading? Do you have shorter hairs coming in in front?

The pictures do this process no justice. I am in a similar boat and used Just for Men, it is the most insane thing I've ever seen. All of my peach fuzz darkened up and it looks like I have a thick head of hair (my hair is buzzed however about 1 inch on top). Surely no cure for hair loss, and I...

These are excellent results. I too feel like you are my long lost twin, lol. I have the exact same pattern of baldness and even same hair texture, mine is wavy like that if I grow it long. Why change your regimen at all!?

I definitely was responding well to minoxidil the first time around but stopped due to these sides - that was nearly 2 years ago and I had forgotten about them. I am on 5% now and will see if 2% makes any difference, guess the less sides I have the less effective it is - lame!

Hey guys - haven't seen many threads on this but I am one of the unlucky few that suffers from the red/puffy face sides from minoxidil application. It is very irritating! I would like to stay on a topical regrowth supplement but don't know if the sides are caused by actual minoxidil or something else...

Hey all, good to see the forum still alive and most members still kicking! Been almost 2 years since I started on the Big 3, which only lasted 2 months! I'm 27 years old and first noticed my hairloss pattern starting around age 21, in the same pattern as my father's exactly. My uncle has a full...

yes.

if you're not in very bad shape now, I wouldn't reccommend starting it.

no I don't think you're paranoid I'm just trying to understand what you mean by sides only. Something I haven't seen unless you mean temples only. If you're worried about price you could go with cutting proscar, which is what I do.

what do you mean by receded only on the sides of the head?

see a doctor. you definately look like a good finasteride candidate.

I'd definately start with the propecia and remain on that for about a year. I was in the same position as you and started minoxidil because I wanted to try and thicken up my front. I think minoxidil is what put me on such a rollercoster. you will get a bad shed at around 1 month that you won't get on...

Hey guys.. I really want to stop minoxidil but I just experienced a massive shed after about 1 month on liquid and have not recovered from it. The reasons I want to stop are terrible looking skin, and terrible head aches that I get from it. Could anyone help me with when is the best time to stop? I...
