seriously guys... I can't stand the stuff. I have medium length hair, and a thinning patch in back... and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to stop the stuff from leaving "funk" in my hair... little flaky bits of white gunk. I wash my hair thoroughly every day, and it's such a pain to deal with that I've often thought of quitting Minodoxil altogether and just sticking with Propecia. The only results I've ever visibly seen are with Propecia... but for all I know, if I quit minodoxil, in 2 months more of my hair will fall out. I guess I'm just too scared to risk losing any more folicials that can't physically grow back.
I don't see how anyone with "hair" actually applies this stuff except at night time. Even after it dries, it leaves the back of your head greasy and often times the hair gets clumped together. This could be even more embarassing than the balding itself, if you ask me. I've been on minoxodil once a day, at nighttime for a while now... probably a year... and it hasn't really don't anything to combat this bald spot of mine. I don't know if it's actually working, or just *stopping* bad/worse things from happening. Like I said, I'm too nervous to quit cold-turkey and find out. I guess the devil you know right?
The idea of putting minodoxil in my hair for the rest of my life really makes me depressed. I don't see how you could have a social life with this stuff. It makes what little hair you have a mess, and the results (at least for me) aren't visible at all.... Whereas with Propecia, I think I may have hit the maximum limit for what it can do for me. It's stopped the rampant hairloss on the front of my head, and judging from earlier pictures... it has caused the thinning patch on the back of my head to shrink (slowly but surely)
I've tried shaving my head a few times, and it's clear that certain areas of my head do NOT grow hair at the same rate as others, even after taking propecia for almost a year now. Right now I'm content to just let my hair grow out, and see what happens. Every time I get it cut, my bald spot just becomes MORE visible and I feel even more depressed about it.
I guess I'm just gonna end this little rant by saying that if you're a guy using minodoxil, I feel your pain.
