    minoxidil 2% or 5%

    Is there much of a difference? Would 2% be enough or is 5% the only way to go? I asked because in the country I live, there is 2% available but to get 5% I would have to order it at home and get it couriered here 1) may be difficult as it is a flammable material and 2) will be expensive. Thanks

    Norwood 5 A

    Thanks for the replies. So it would be how my hair is now then? Hahaha I really am against using the medication. Besides which, I've read it loses its efficacy over time so it wouldn't be a long-term solution anyway. I might trial the Min for 6 months and see what effects it has, if any. Why...

    Norwood 5 A

    Hello, I am debating getting FUE. I am a white, male in my 30s. I am currently a Norwood 3 vertex and I imagine in the next 12 months (maybe 18 if I am lucky) I would become a Norwood IV before finishing as a Norwood 5 A but with the little "tuft" at the front. I started to lose it from the...

    Still don't understand how to differentiate shedding vs. hair loss

    I suppose the only way to tell the difference would be how you look after a few months..... has it got better/stayed the same or has it got worse? If it is worse then it was hair loss. Not scientific but I can't think of another way to tell the difference.
