What else to add to the big 3?

[shakermaker]

Ive been taking 1mg of finasteride, and applying minoxidil all over once a day. And using nizoral 3 times a week now for about 9 months. Things have improved slightly, definatlly not got any worse.Im a diffuse thinner and my temples have filled out a bit more, backof my head is alot better.

What else can i add to my regime? and do you think my hairs the best its gonna get now? If i could get slightly more regrowth then i would be very happy

My regime is pretty much the same as yours, however I'm using minoxidil twice daily. (Dr Lee's 5% minoxidil morning then Xandrox 5% minoxidil w/ 5% azelaic acid at night)

I really want to add in spironolactone 5% and also some kind of copper peptide product (Folligen or Prox-N).

why are you just using min once a day?

twice daily is recommended for optimum results.

if i would add anything it would be twice daily application of min

I just received my spironolactone lotion so now I'm onto the Fab 5 (Big 3 + copper peptides and spironolactone).

I obviously can't vouch for the spironolactone just yet, but I can tell you that adding copper peptides (folligen) was beneficial. It thickened up the hair that minoxidil regrow.

good to hear the folligen is working for you

i was skeptical about it but try to use it every 2 or 3 days

may i ask how often do you use it?

cute term "Fab 5"

i think i may use that :gay:

I am on the same.

Hi Kalbo

How are you applying the Folligen in accordance with minoxidil? Do you wait for minoxidil to dry first or apply one right after the other?

 

[kalbo]

well, good to know i coined a new hair loss term.... even though it sounds a little :gay: ..... thank you Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for gaying up that term lol

I use folligen every third day and I rotate it with spironolactone lotion.
e.g. mon = spironolactone, tues = spironolactone, weds = folligen, thurs = spironolactone, fri = spironolactone, sat = folligen, etc.

I apply minoxidil first and then wait at least half an hour before applying folligen or spironolactone.

The results have been subtle, but I'm still glad it's doing something.
