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.

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?

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.
