taking minoxidil in "spurts"

[chessmaniac12]

Guys, what can we do to block Minoxidil residue/White flakes? answer please...

Btw, using liquid morning and night 1ml are difficult. Firstly, if hairs are long, 1ml is not enough. if you use more than 1ml, your heart will be problem and you will feel really bad...

Then, its greasy, i hate this. it effect social life much. in this case, 2ml at night is the answer.

Well to minimise the residue/flakes you need to use Nizoral or even just a mild anti-dandruff shampoo like Head and Shoulders will help.

Also, in the mornings try using the Rogaine foam or non-greasy liquid minoxidil formulas (i.e. not Rogaine liquid or Kirkland), you can find plenty of these online.

Personally, I use the foam in the mornings as it's light and non-greasy and makes hair styling much, much easier. Kirkland minoxidil however, looks like Dax Wax in my hair.

Unfortunately, its very hard to buy Rogaine Foam in my country.this is why i have to use liquid.

Just want to let you know that you can still get nice results while applying minoxidil once a day.

However i asked it to 4 dermatologs and all said that if you use 2ml a day, its same.

off course if you use 1ml a day, you can still get good results but not at 2ml a day rate...

1 month off is too much. at maximum 2 weeks is good.

Please do not overdose Minoxidil. Just stick with 1ml per application because you may develop side effects. I went through back side effects around 2 years ago. I was extremely dizzy for over a week. I couldn't walk nor drive my car. It was pretty back.
I simply used too much.
2ml per application doesn't mean better results. I don't think your doctor know what's he/she talking about.

2ml per application, one time a day is my only chance. Minoxidil liquid is greasy, then it effects my social life.

if i use 1 ml per application, im using it to crown, vertex... i was using 2ml 2 times a day, i was overdosing it, i was pretty dizzy for 4-5 days then i gave myslef 4-5 days off from Minoxidil then i overcome this problem.

Doctors said that 2ml a day, just one application is same as 1m at morning 1m at night application and i would get the same results, in this case finas. is very important. i cant get much results without it.

i sometimes use 2 times a day. 1ml is not enough. if i use 1m night and morning, it wont be enough. if i use more than it, i feel dizy. so i have no chance, i have to make 2ml application at night. But like i said, sometimes im making 2 application a day.

Doctors said same kind of things, if you finish 60ml bottle in 30 days end, its no matter if you use 2ml at one application or with 1ml morning, 1ml night application.

Like i said before, One of my friends got great results with just one application, 2ml or less at night. Sometimes he even didnt use it and gave few days offs...

I started the big three regimen during Dec '14 and underwent initial heavy shedding for two months. Later on no hair fall for around 9 months. Now for past one month I am experiencing hair fall while combing and taking bath. I am on big three continuously and the growth of thickening also seemed to have stopped and I wonder whether I need to change brands, increase percentages etc. as I think the effectiveness of big three has deteriorated in my case. I also see a lot of white flakes in my hair due to minoxidil 5 %. Any suggestions on my future course of action?
