Minoxidil - How Important Is Concistency?

[vika]

i been on finasteride/nizoral for 3-4 years now and recently added needling to my regimen. I would also like to add minoxidil to my regimen but it seems like a pain the *** to apply,

Can any long time users of min tell me how important concistency is? If i know myself right i can usally use it at least once a day, sometimes two. Other times i wont be able to use it for a day or two.

Will that be a problem? I dont want to mess up my hair further just because inconcistency. I understand this will probably vary from person to person, but i would like to hear any opinions on the matter.

I've been using minoxidil for over a year now (Rogaine 5% foam). I've been highly consistent with applying twice a day.

Believe it or not, applying minoxidil twice daily is actually easier and more convenient than applying once a day.

The key is to not let applications go further apart than 23 hours or closer than 6. If you're applying twice a day, you never have to be concerned about maintaining a schedule. As long as one application is in the AM and the other is in the PM you should be alright. Also it won't be a big deal if you miss one of the two daily applications.

While going over 23 hours on rare occasion isn't a big deal, if it happens consistently, it is likely minoxidil is not a good fit for you.

I'm like you and didn't like the idea of having to apply it every single day, so I went with oral minoxidil instead. Higher chance of sides ( which I have none besides occasional dark eyes ) so I wouldn't jump into it without thorough research. I am having good results, but the sheds I've had have been horrific.

how are your results??

I've maintained my hairline from baseline with very modest regrowth. You can read my story here.

apparently consistency is important, i used it twice a day for 11 months now, once you get used to it it's maximum one minute to apply.
