Minoxidil Questions

[gimmemyhair]

I have just started using Minoxidil 10% Solution and had a few questions:

1. How long do you guys keep Minoxidil On, before you wash your hair? I usually keep it on or at least an hour in the morning and leave it on overnight.

2. How many times a day are you currently using it?

3. Is 10% too strong to start with?

Many Thanks

i have a question too about the minoxidil which i believe most of you will give me a negative answer but still i want to ask
on my minoxidil medicament which is 5% says
use twice a day and put 1mg in the morning and in the evening
and here comes the interesting part and confusing for me
when you achieve the result (lets say a year and i am satisfied with my grown hair) put once or twice a week to maintain the result
is this true? and i want to know how active is the minoxidil in the scalp after putting it
i am aware that stopping minoxidil entirelly will make my hair shed again but will putting it even 3 times a week help for maintaining

as far for your question gimmemyhair
1.i think 1 hour is enought before washing
2.i am using it twice a day (i started 2 days ago and i am planning to put it as per the instruction for now and maybe after a couple of months reduce to once a day) although some started using it once a day at the beggining and they say it worked for them
3. don't experiment man not always the strongest will give you better results (use 5% like all of us)
