I've been doing this for last 2 months or so. I think I am thickening up a little bit while stopping the loss. Sometimes I even skipped for like 2 or 3 days once in a while. I do this before going to bed, so I can take a shower in the morning, and my hair will be clean.

Yeah, it really matts down the thin area's were you apply it totaly exposing them. I have been comtemplating on whether to use it before work once I change my hairstyle. I have heard though that the bylaws state you must us it 2x a day for re-growth, 1x will just maintain.

i was on minoxidil twice a day for 1 year and a half. i now use it once a day.. it's much more convenient and to be honest i'm getting the same results..i don't reccomend anyone doing this until after 1 year on it twice a day

I know that I was not completely religious about the morning application because sometimes I just had to get out of the house and did not have time to let the stuff dry. I am not sure what your exact difficulty is in the morning application of minoxidil, but before completely dropping it you might want to try a few other options...

I bought some of the Dr Lee 5% minoxidil because I heard it was less greasy and I thought it might help with this. It works great! His 5% minoxidil has a 70/30 ratio of alcohol to PPG instead of the normal 50/50, and so it dries really quickly! I can literally put an entire ml in my hair, and it is completely gone or at least not drippy or greasy in my hair after a half hour.

Another option would be to use less than 1 ml.

Both options are better for you than completely dropping the 2x day applications. No pain, no gain.

I have been applying 1 x daily since 2 months back.

My reason:- I wanna stop using minoxidil and switch to Innovate and Folligen combo.

Observation:- There is absolutely no different from applying 2 x daily. On top of that I actually use less than 1 ml a day. Maybe 4 to 5 spray a time.
I would not completely factor it down that 1x daily application is OK. Maybe Innovate started to kick in. I am also taking L-Arginine. This might also be another reason because i am substituting topical Nitric Oxide with Internal one.

i will keep everyone updated if i am able to stop minoxidil with minimal complication.

I'm just 1.5 months from my 1 year mark, splendid results! I may continue twice a day 'til 18 months or more. With Lee's minoxidil twice a day ain't no hassle really.

Did you see a big reduction in flakes after cutting back to one daily dose?

i forgot to mention.. on the days i don't work...holidays, weekends,etc...i apply it twice a day

I do it once a day and get good results. Maintaining nicely right now, hopefully get some regrowth in the next few months.

So you lot have maintained well with minoxidil?

Or do you have other things in your regimen?
