I've been using minoxidil 5% on my hairline for about a year now, and I am satisfied with the results. My temples have grown back a little, and my middle widow's peak part is thicker. I have shoulder length hair, though, so the length of my hair isn't thick, obviously. And I wouldn't really describe my hairline hair as "thick." Just average. The height of my hairline has not changed dramatically. It's actually barely noticeable, if at all. There are just more hairs (but I am still seeing new growth that aren't just baby hairs, so I'm hopeful - but not necessarily optimistic - that I will defy the odds and continue to experience growth, haha). I most certainly do not regret using it. I think using it earlier could have possibly benefited me, but I caught my hair loss fairly early anyway so it's not like there would have been much to regrow. minoxidil doesn't stop balding, though. So I'm still debating whether to start finasteride or not, and I've started a new regime with experimental stuff that I'm going to try for at least 6 months. I have a thread of my own, but I haven't posted pictures yet (but I do plan to).
minoxidil doesnt work for everybody and if your one of the unlucky ones it can make your hair worse like it did to me , it says on the tin that if you you dont see any improvement in 3-4 months then stop using it , I continued using it for a year because of the advice I was given , I now only use finasteride and Nizoral and I've had quite good results

I appreciate your perspective on minoxidil. Mx560. I've been on minoxidil. for over 9 months with no real appreciable results to date. I was curious if you'ld expound on how your personal usage of it has lead to your hair detriment? Thanx for your response.
I used it (Foam) twice a day for a year , I was using it on my crown , it caused shedding and nothing grew , but like I said I only use finasteride and nizoral now and working ok, not saying I have an afro or anything but I'm happy with the results,
I only posted because people are being advised to keep using it up to 2 years , but if the manufacturer's are saying give it 3-4 months and you keep using it when its clearly doing nothing for you, its only going to make things worse
Also be wary of people giving you advice. Some have their own agenda as there are a few who actually sell it them selves via ebay etc
I came on the site looked at some success stories and thought "sorted"
I should have gone into further below sub topics.
I wonder if you just got any kind of foam and applied it to your scalp twice a day you would get the same results. same results = jack ****.
I'm giving it another month then It is up to me to get 'finasteride' or jack it in. If it does start working instead of making your hair just come out then I will write a extensive review but this is no magic formula.
Sometimes you can get into a dream world by seeing some google images of people where their hair just miraculously just grew back on minoxidil. Then you wonder, why is there just a handful of cases (images) when their is millions of people using it. Ha ha.
