Considering dropping or upping minoxidil.

[Mr_T]

I've been on finasteride for about 8 months now and after the 2nd month I decided to add rogaine foam into my regimen. After about a month I noticed I was shedding a bit which I had never noticed before and sure enough soon after I began to get vellous hairs growing at the front. However these hairs have barely grown much since then and it's been about 6 months of using it. Am I simply not much of a responder or should I persever and see if these hairs grow further?

My other option (other than dropping it all together) is to maybe use the 15% solution. Does anyone think that could make the difference in making the gains I made with rogaine thicker/longer?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

No opinions? Has anyone grown vellous (however it's spelled) hairs and not had them turn terminal for 6+ months?

What's the general consensus on the effectiveness of 15% minoxidil?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

its really hard to get perfect terminal hairs - ive used foam for 1.5 years and ive been able to grow long strands of verythin hair, but it never thickened to the degree of a normal one. what helped me was that foam recruited a ton of these strands and with all of them combined, it created decent density.

however i also used propecia for 1.5 years and benefited well from propecia before trying foam. So that could be what helped.
