I started using the reactivate hair serum from liiitlextra for the past month and completely switched from my old serum since the last two months. It's working wonderfully. I simply apply it one time daily with the spray pump included with the serum. It's very easy to apply, non greasy, and no scent. The hair growth is up to now so great, and it's only 1 month only and I will continue to apply it.
A lot of my friends are applying reactivate hair growth serum these days, and the majority told me that it is benefiting them in stimulating hair growth and controlling hair fall.
Took 3 months for me to see visible results on my hairline, 2 months for new growth on my beard. 4 months in, one side of my head definitely grows hair faster than the other, but it's all slowly coming together. Stuff works, legit.
@@chadanisatyal yeah, mainly on my left side it shed for a few weeks, still hasnt completely filled it, but its clear to see it will eventually recover. I wear hats quite often now xD

1-4 are just some pretty basic points, and 5 is just to make you anxious and buy their products, the "underlying" problem is just genetics and has absolutely nothing to do with nutrient deficiency. You can eat and apply as much nutrients as you want, it wont keep your hair from falling, the only things that help so far are minoxidil and DHT blockers, maybe scalp massage might have a positive effect too. But nutrients wont do shit as long as youre not clearly deficient which should not happen with a "standard diet" in mordern countries.
@@tomtomson648 ah right yeah that makes sense, I think Leo with longevity spoke about DHT's role in stimulating neurosteroids. I just started taking 0.5mg of finasteride daily as I read that still blocks around 50% of DHT as opposed to 70% at 1mg. I do inject testosterone so maybe I can do 1mg
I add half mg of Kirkland signature to my suavecito light hold pomade rub into the hair and scalp after a shower. Works well, plus it gives the pomade a slicker feel allowing to style easier.
So I would say, as a cosmetologist- minoxidil is for men who have NORMAL, or slightly thinning hair. You would use it 3-5 times a week at night, by brushing it softly across your scalp after a warm shower (soft and absorbant follicles) and that’s it. Wait like 1-3 months and you will see longer thicker hair for sure. It’s not a miracle, if you’re going bald it won’t help you. It won’t regrow hair either that’s been lost for a while. It’s better used as a prevention, / hair thickening growth serum. Lastly, don’t use some nasty 15 in 1 axe mens product when doing this. You need a proper moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or else you WILL GET DANDRUFF Period - it’s common sense but hopefully this helps
Yeah you need to use topical minoxidil for prevention of hairloss or to restore hair that’s just starting to thin. It’s best used as soon as you notice thinning. You’ll have to use it everyday too. The Kirkland brand is a good product because it’s affordable and works. And yeah use a shampoo with moisturizing ingredients
@@hectorv6700nothing from your local store. I see a lot of ads on my IG, I’m going to try out weareplantmade there’s a few other shampoo I’ve seen on ig but just stay clear of harsh shampoos that has sulfate etc find natural shampoos/conditioners, using natural stuff will never hurt. Shampoos are just detergents that have no benefit.
Im here at 21 y old balding slowly from age 1 with thin hair..using thicker shampos, massage my hair daily, eating healty and a healty life.. thinking to start minoxidil and wasting ton on money year and year for this meanwhile some idiot barealy eat at 2 days, smoke, sleep like shit, using 2$shampoo and still have thick and no receding hairline:) Kinda hurt Wish everyone to have hair and to choose what to do with it.. not be cursed to be bald when u dont want to look older and like shit without hair
cv 67 I’m in the same boat. Kept my hair up to age 44 and stayed healthy and fit and people assumed I was in my mid 30s. Now in the last 3 years I’ve started diffuse balding aggressively and if I go bald I’m going to look like I’m in my mid 50s. I’m going to try all I can to keep it short of taking fin. Not messing with my hormones now.
@cv 67 shave it off man, it's not worth it , minoxidil doesn't work you stop using it you'll lose twice as much hair as he said in the video. Only solution is transplant. Range form 8k to 12k
I'm 1. Trying to get at least moderate results 2. Also trying to strengthen possible doner hair for a transplant. I'm thinking it would be wise to buzz my whole head, should make getting exfoliation more effectively applied.
Could you tell me please? Which one is better for use minoxidil? And Does it work? How many times can i use in a day?and how to use? Please tell me sir.
I’m only doing once a day before I go to work. A guy had his two cats die from exposure sitting on his pillow. I’m not taking any chance having it overnight on my pillow. A small amount on a cats paw can kill it.
I've heard this, but I don't believe it. I've been using minoxidil for years and I use two FULL droppers worth twice a day. The suggested 1ml is absolutely ridiculous. It barely works. My cats get on my pillow all the time. Just be careful not to get the wet liquid on them.
I didn’t like how he talked about scalp tension and diet being the cause, like yes this can accelerate it, but DIET DOES NOT CAUSE HAIRLOSS. It’s genetics and dht, I know he knows this but I hate when people say this, no matter how healthy people try and be the hair will still fall out, people need to stop saying this
My dermatologist (a real one with a degree) instructed me to use it 2x a day. I think i will heed her advice. She also adviced me to take biotin once a day along with minoxidil 2x a day
@@anonymus9324less is better, if it still does the job. Remember, it’s not a natural product and there’s chance of side effects. I’ve been getting chest pains and shortness of breath while I was using it twice a day, which is why I went down to applying it only once.
i know this is old you probably won't get it but oh well no you want it to sink in and stay in your hair and your scalp only wash your hair 3 times a week to 4 times a week using minoxidil you probably only should wash your hair 3 times a week I know this old you probably won't get it but oh well
I have a head full of hair but have a thinning and receding hairline, will the shedding phase make me look like I’m balding and impossible to cover my hairline
Muhammad Mun'im I’ve been using for three and a half months, shedding phase started after about two weeks and lasted about 2-3 weeks. I’ve noticed my temples are thicker as I keep my hair short on the sides. I haven’t noticed anything on the top of my head as of yet but that’s probably because I keep my hair long on top
@@jackhancho8571 nice bro. One more thing, on the temples, did the parts where the follicles are already dead (the very front) start to grow to? Also thanks in advance bro.
The question is, I know minoxidil is a treatment and not a cure. So, if I stop using it after a few years, will I lose the hair I grow with minoxidil only or ALL?
@@dcpln7 I guess the answer comes down to your genetics as well. Each person will have different results as we are different in general. Minoxidil is a product you can’t stop using once you start it. I’ve watched other videos and they say it’s your diet too. You have to look at your food you eat and it’s got to be healthy and watch your calories intake. It’s good to have and maintain fitness goals too. It’s all part and parcel of a healthy lifestyle and having healthy body and hair as a result. I would add, hang out with good positive motivated people. That’s a good way to stay on track Edit.. Also use a Derm Roller when you apply the minoxidil. Read all the instructions and apply exactly what’s written. You will need at least 3 months use before seeing results. Some of your hair will fall out at first within the first 6-8 weeks though this shows it’s working and it’s normal. It mentions not to put on completely bald areas as it won’t work there and on healthy hair - it’s all in the info www.rogaine.com/products/mens-hair-regrowth-solutions/mens-foam/312547781350.html
@@nikonike163 I think he means don’t use more than stated on the instructions. That increases the risks of side effects, some of which could be dangerous.
I went to dermatologist to learn what type of hair loss I have & get a baseline. He refused to do anything, just told me to try minoxidil & hope that it works 😢
@@WeirdBrick Lol. Yeah, because you are somehow not allowed to reapply after 21 hours right? And in one month that is 60 vs 34. So 34 applications per month is sufficient for continuous exposure versus your pedantic 60 times for exactly the same efficacy. Get it now Einstein?
it is not about how long is stays in blood ffs, this is a topical treatment which affects hair follicles, when it enters blood it causes side effects , this 22 hour thing is used when monitoring the use of intravenous minoxidil or oral minoxidil not a topically used one !!!!!
How long can minoxidil be used from the first opening of the bottle. A 60 ml bottle is enough for two months of use. Will he not break down at this time? It is written on the bottle about six weeks after first opening. Nothing will happen if I use it or will it lose its properties?
Its very expensive to. 50 dollars a pop and you are saying not to use just minoxidil alone. I will be using this product for life. I just hope it works. I will have to wait to see if there are any results probably between 4 to 6 months of using the product. I will come back here to tell you in about 4 months if there are any hair growth. I used the product right after I showered. I applied quite a bit though so I am not sure if I was using it correctly. I didn't read the instructions throughly I just looked up how to do it on youtube. People have went from bald to growing back their hair with this product. But they also applied finasteride along with a hair growth shampoo and a dermaroller. I don't have the money for this stuff right now. I don't know when I will be able to get them. Thanks for this video.
Minoxidil isn't bad but it's very annoying as it makes you skin very dry and may result in dandruff breakout. Due to this I feel a lot of people quit early.
I would think nizoral twice a week at first would solve the dandruff and rosemary oil , ... I want to try minoxidil , I have heard of oral minoxidil has anyone tried this
@@carlrowe7105 the only issue I could think of with oral minoxidil would be is it ok to mix with oral finesteride. Never seen a product for oral minox though.
I was using liquid minoxidil and the itching has gotten so bad that I’m now going to try the foam. I hope that works because my entire body was getting so itchy!
I was on week 2 of minoxidil and unfortunately broke into a nasty rash on top of my scalp and forehead and itchy as heck. Also had swollen lymph nodes behind my ears. And this was the Kirkland foam version. I’m all done w this crap.
bro, im on first week and i've got swollen lymph nodes behind my left ear. That shit's annoying and im using the 5% liquid version. I wanna fix my patchy beard but this side effect things just not worth it. Have u quitted it bro?
Hello and thank you for your hair videos, question can I use rogaine foam on its own or do I have to take it with finasteride, also should I needle roll with rogaine foam . Thank you
Minoxidil is about 65% effective, whereas finasteride is about 90% effective. It's usually recommended that you use both for best results, so long as you keep up treatment. Microneedling boosts minoxidil effectiveness by 4x
Mine said opposite it sure would be nice if there was any sort of consistency among these people...dermatology is the most competitive field to match into for medical students (more than plastic surgery and every other surgery type)...yet they can't seem to come to a consensus on this really basic medication that thousands upon thousands of men use Pretty frustrating that these Dr's. With high qualifications just can't agree
@carlrowe7105 is that true. Have you done it and seen a big difference? My buddy had amazing results with miceoneedling, minoxidil, and finasteride...I mean from a huge bald spot and a slight receding hairline to no bald spot and his hairline (whole still receding) looks way thicker and the hairs around it are so much thicker that you can't even tell he's got any recede due to how he styles it I've been blown away by his results and went with the same regiment, he swear microneedling boosted his results big time, but I'm super skeptical. I've only been on this for 2 weeks and have started shedding and it's freaking me out
hello , I used an Algerian minoxidil product in 2020 for 6 months and I noticed that the hair loss was stopped but without hair regrowth, recently I decided to change the brand of minoxidil using (KIRKLAND) for more than 6 months, but I noticed a catastrophic hair loss .my question : should I use the first product or be patient, knowing that I use oral finastiride with, but without result
Should I use 2x the recommended amount ? because think about it the clinical studies were based applying the recommended amount on just the vertex but I'm balding from vortex to front, so I should use the recommend amount on just the vortex and then additional on the top of my head which has very thinning hair?
Hi Leon, Thanks for doing a wonderful job! I am 61 years old and found that my scalp itches after using Minoxidil ointment. Can I use Minoxidil foam instead. Will appreciate your reply. Thanks and regards, Tanveer Ahmed
For real tho, how do you make sure the minoxidil gets to the scalp and not in the hair? It’s a lot harder than it sounds. Short of buzzing my hair, it’s pretty hard, especially in the parts of my head I can’t see in the mirror. Is the foam better?
Sorry for my English I wish you can get the point .... I am 27 years old before 5 years I was in a vary stressful period of my life and I lost some hairs but that stops ...5 years after that I dont even have problem of hair loss but those hairs that I have already lost dont growing back are so think and small but still exist can minoxidil help me grow again those small hairs ? And how many times per day ? I am about to start and one more question if I lose hairs is part of the plan ?
Yes and no, it depends on the state of your hair root, if the root is so small that it only now produces vellus hair then it won't regrow. I would see a dermatologist for this because you may use it and still don't see so many results. I heard from mine that the most important is to use it right from the start of the hair loss. Also you can just had temporary hair loss (telogen effluvium)
He doesn't address DHT. Simply put, one needs to add Finasteride or Dutasteride along with applying Minoxidil every day. Minoxidil on it's own, will not prevent further hair loss.
I did too when I was using it twice a day. I went down to only once and hoping to notice a difference. How are you going? Have you stopped using it completely?
@@78skj I stopped immediately, didn’t use it again . Is using one time helpful without having any issues? I tried prp treatment instead and that was waste of money .

I’ve been using Nioxin, and I’m going to start using Rogaine minoxidil. Should I wash, and condition twice a day before putting on the Rogaine? I will be using a palmade, so I didn’t know if on the second application of the day if that needs to be washed out? And would it be ok to just rinse the product out, or does it need a wash?
Hi just a quick question I have just started this treatment and going to use a derma roller also once a week will it be ok for me to miss it in the days I use the roller? Thanks
It’s very important that you don’t use any other products, especially Minoxidil on the days you use the roller. They recommend a 24 hour healing time after using a roller.
I use it IMMEDIATELY after dermarolling. Don't believe all the negative side effects talk. 99% of the side effects are in their head. It's a prime example of the nocebo effect. They talk themselves into it. And I use two full droppers worth twice a day. The 1ml dosage they suggest is ridiculous.
Recently bought (USA) Bosley men's healthy hair thickening shampoo. Any benefits besides thickening hair, and can it be used long term? I don't want to use any products to mitigate the inevitable lol. your advise is appreciated.
My minoxidil box tells me to only use it once a day, it's a 5% one too despite being for women. I should do as it instructs, surely, and only use it once a day?
Yes he's talking shit. Sadly. Oral Minoxidil has a half life of around 6 hours. Topical has a half life of around 25 hours. Once a day is absolutely fine.
Ok so if it's for women. Women are only supposed to use it 1 time a day if it is the 5% liquid if its the 2% we use that 2 times a day we shouldn't use it more then as directed if we are in our child bearing ages it can cause issues. If you are a man though the 5% 2 times a day is the general guideline. Hope that helps
@@tooshlong my derm told me minoxidil has a half life of 18hrs. The only reason this person's directions say 1 time a day is because it is for women if it were the 2% liquid we can do it 2 times a day but a women should never do the 5% twice a day because it can cause issues. Men are supposed to do it 2 times a day. It won't cause issues for men because they don't grow babies in their bodies....
@@tooshlong anyone that wants to regrow their hair bad enough will do what a doctor tells them if they are that desperate they will do it what woman wants to lose her hair none that I know it makes you feel less attractive or less of a woman
Been on mon and fin for 8 month and I don’t see any growth. I think the fin has made existing hair a bit thicker and retained any existing hairs but no regrowths…
isnt that what fin does? it just helps with DHT being converted and thats what helps the hair f's to sorta 'heal' and your hair gets a little thicker as a result of the less dht Moxi is what promotes new growth Theres also people that mention that theres extra Testorone on the scalp so try doing something topical that will help get rid of the test on your head (its supposed to be used with fin / moxi tho im not sure of the details)
I was using castor oil once a day in the morning but I just got Rogaine. Would you recommend stopping the castor oil and just use the Rogaine in the morning and evening? Thanks for your advice.
Using both the things everday means you will need to wash your hair daily with shampoo and that's not at all a good call. So, in my opinion use rogaine for 6 days n castor on the 7th day.....If i talk about me so i use 1ml of minoxidil once a day for 5-6 days a week n do nothing extra n i think i'm getting results...wish you good luck with your hairs..God bless😇
No! The big Pack of ALOPEXY i.e. has 3 bottles each 60mg. One bottle is for one month (30days) becuase you use 2mg per day. 1mg in the morning, 1mg in the evening. One open bottle lasts therefore for 1 month. So nothing to worry because on 2 minutes open bottle per day.
i used minox liquid for four months and the result are still very small veluses. Now, am trying the foam version., this is my second day. Hope to see improvement
Yeah, Minoxidil lasts for around 22 hours, so once a day is enough. Even the dermatologist told me not to waste the fluid unnecessarily so that it would last longer.
I’m 18 and have had the exact same issue, go to a dermatologist ASAP and he will be able to tell you exactly what you need to do to stop your dermatitis and he will most likely give you either minoxidil 5% or finasteride or maybe even both. Basically I urge you to go to a dermatologist and get examined. He can save you
Oztrog 6 I was also the same problem last 7-8 years Seborrich dermatitis hair fall itchy red scalp.i see 2 dermatologist one give me finestrid another 5% minoxidil also ketokonazole shampoo avoid sugar oily dairy products.but symptoms improved but hair fall just as notmal i lost 50 % hair just 22 years
Also try cutting sulfates and silicones out of your hair products. It sounds dumb, but my flakes went from an issue to virtually gone about three months after the switch.
It’s really awful men, my self steel just sky rocketed, now am constantly thinking about how my hair looks, I have months of avoiding the pool or beach because when my hair gets wet I can see my scalp in some places, every fucking things that am using it’s now working and my head has a bad shape so go bald I not an option, it’s hell bro...
twice a day is just not true. the half life is 18hrs so once a day is plenty. im all for twice daily for the first month but after that it is not worth it
and derma roll weekly along with finasteride. this is proven effective. twice daily with one treatment will never be better than many treatments practiced religiously
does it matter how much I'll actually apply? for my example I have my front side of hairline very slowly thinning but its such a small part that I doubt I'll even need 1ml. Does it matter if I apply 0.5ml instead of 1ml?
plz help, when can i apply gel or wax? do i wash my hair let it dry put in wax or gel then follow by minoxodil? or let it dry apply minoxodil let it dry for 4hours and then apply wax/gel?
The same things hapen with me, after using minoxidil for 4 month all was good but after the 5 month , my hair stated to be week more and more even i keep using minoxidil , i dont know what is the causes??!!!!!
ياسين عمري you should go see a hair specialist, I’m pretty sure your hair is falling because you are losing hairs faster than you are gaining from minoxidil, ask your dermatologist from stronger treatments “if he agrees that minoxidil is not enough”
Does Rogaine permanently kill your follicles if you stop using it? I’m a pre-testosterone trans guy and had a pretty naturally hairy face. I started using Minoxidil last year for about 3-6 months and then stopped. Now all my original hair hasn’t grown back! I’m freaking out that Minoxidil has killed all my follicles so that when I start Testosterone I’m not going to have any facial hair. Can you reassure me that this isn’t the case? What can I do to get my original hair to grow back?

I think it is better to do on wet hair as it absorbs into the scalp better especially if you have long hair. If you apply dry it’ll just wet the hair and not really get into the scalp

Ignoring your bad English, you should use Minoxidil with Finasteride or Dutasteride for the hair to be kept since these drugs go for the 5AR directly. Minoxidil alone in your case won't be enough

Alin trebuie să fie minoxidil 5%. Îl poți procura din surse oficiale , de exemplu : boots... Aplicarea se face de doua ori pe zi ( o data la 12 ore , 2 ml , și urmată de un masaj suav...) In primele săptămâni ( chiar o luna de zile ) îți va cădea parul chiar mai mult, insa nu trebuie să te sperii, pentru că este ceva normal... Începând cu a doua luna lucrurile vor merge foarte bine, părul nu o sa mai cadă... Pt ca lucrurile să meargă și mai bine e indicat să continui tratamentul cel puțin un an de zile... Și încă ceva, poți vizita un medic pt un medicament care merge mână în mână cu minoxidil , finasteride... Acesta e o pastilă de 1mg, o singura data pe zi ( o data la 24 ore )... Ar mai fi și alte medicamente care măresc eficiența celor două de mai sus : biotina cu vit C , zinc de 40 mg și multivitamine și minerale, acestea desigur câte o pastilă, o data la 24 ore...cu unica diferență că multivitaminele și mineralele le vei lua separat la câteva ore față de celelalte... Eu mi am făcut un transplant de păr în Turcia și urmez acest tratament postoperator... Rezultatele sunt vizibile , bune și continuă să fie și mai bune după a treia luna ... O alta chestiune foarte importantă este raportul sexual, de preferință să se evite in primele 6 luni de zile, iar după sa nu se exagereze cu sexul.... PS ... Dacă mai ai ceva nelămuriri sau vrei sa te ajut cumva scriemi....
Ok tnks. Super info. Am prins idea. Noroc ca nu am abandonat tratamentul ca cand a inceput sa cada intens. Acum sper sa reapara ce am pierdut plus macar inca cel putin 30% in plus.

3) morr f5% brand i am using how long does shedding phase will be and do we look bald while shedding?
4) last que, do topical minxo+fians stop working after 1 year and people are saying like that...due to the tolerance or efficacy, but it is for minxodil right because they were not taking any dht blockers but in my case i m taking minx+fian both topical form and what about tolerance pls tell because if tolerance is there then there is no point using it right? Any suggestions how to stop tolerance and i started using this month

And you'd have more hair if you used it twice a day.
1-4 are just some pretty basic points, and 5 is just to make you anxious and buy their products, the "underlying" problem is just genetics and has absolutely nothing to do with nutrient deficiency. You can eat and apply as much nutrients as you want, it wont keep your hair from falling, the only things that help so far are minoxidil and DHT blockers, maybe scalp massage might have a positive effect too. But nutrients wont do shit as long as youre not clearly deficient which should not happen with a "standard diet" in mordern countries.
What is the best dht blocker?
@@migram4190 Finasteride, there are also weaker alternatives like Alfatradiol but this is only available in Germany.
@@tomtomson648 isn't dutasteride technically the best?
@@Nutmegp Yeah Dutasteride is better, but it might block too much DHT, which is speculated to cause some neurological problems.
@@tomtomson648 ah right yeah that makes sense, I think Leo with longevity spoke about DHT's role in stimulating neurosteroids. I just started taking 0.5mg of finasteride daily as I read that still blocks around 50% of DHT as opposed to 70% at 1mg. I do inject testosterone so maybe I can do 1mg
I add half mg of Kirkland signature to my suavecito light hold pomade rub into the hair and scalp after a shower. Works well, plus it gives the pomade a slicker feel allowing to style easier.
after a shower, your skin will be open to absorb the minox it may cause side effects like puffy face or eyes.
@@thrashingmetalthat's a myth your pores don't open or close only stretch or clog.
So I would say, as a cosmetologist- minoxidil is for men who have NORMAL, or slightly thinning hair. You would use it 3-5 times a week at night, by brushing it softly across your scalp after a warm shower (soft and absorbant follicles) and that’s it.
Wait like 1-3 months and you will see longer thicker hair for sure.
It’s not a miracle, if you’re going bald it won’t help you.
It won’t regrow hair either that’s been lost for a while. It’s better used as a prevention, / hair thickening growth serum.
Lastly, don’t use some nasty 15 in 1 axe mens product when doing this. You need a proper moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or else you WILL GET DANDRUFF
Period - it’s common sense but hopefully this helps
So you're advising against use of minoxidil by people with moderate hair loss?
What shampoo’s do you recommend? I’ve been using biotin and collagen
Yeah you need to use topical minoxidil for prevention of hairloss or to restore hair that’s just starting to thin. It’s best used as soon as you notice thinning. You’ll have to use it everyday too. The Kirkland brand is a good product because it’s affordable and works. And yeah use a shampoo with moisturizing ingredients
I’ve read that you should rinse your hair in cool water. Hot water rinses your hair dry.
@@hectorv6700nothing from your local store. I see a lot of ads on my IG, I’m going to try out weareplantmade there’s a few other shampoo I’ve seen on ig but just stay clear of harsh shampoos that has sulfate etc find natural shampoos/conditioners, using natural stuff will never hurt. Shampoos are just detergents that have no benefit.
Im here at 21 y old balding slowly from age 1 with thin hair..using thicker shampos, massage my hair daily, eating healty and a healty life.. thinking to start minoxidil and wasting ton on money year and year for this meanwhile some idiot barealy eat at 2 days, smoke, sleep like shit, using 2$shampoo and still have thick and no receding hairline:)

cv 67 I’m in the same boat. Kept my hair up to age 44 and stayed healthy and fit and people assumed I was in my mid 30s. Now in the last 3 years I’ve started diffuse balding aggressively and if I go bald I’m going to look like I’m in my mid 50s. I’m going to try all I can to keep it short of taking fin. Not messing with my hormones now.
Get minoxidil with finasteride in it. I didnt have growth and thickness until I added fin
@@bronzantilium7699 do topical fin
@cv 67 shave it off man, it's not worth it , minoxidil doesn't work you stop using it you'll lose twice as much hair as he said in the video. Only solution is transplant. Range form 8k to 12k

Could you tell me please? Which one is better for use minoxidil? And Does it work?
How many times can i use in a day?and how to use? Please tell me sir.
I’m only doing once a day before I go to work. A guy had his two cats die from exposure sitting on his pillow. I’m not taking any chance having it overnight on my pillow. A small amount on a cats paw can kill it.
Wtf 😂
I've heard this, but I don't believe it. I've been using minoxidil for years and I use two FULL droppers worth twice a day. The suggested 1ml is absolutely ridiculous. It barely works. My cats get on my pillow all the time. Just be careful not to get the wet liquid on them.
Once a day fine I do it once and it works just fine
At what time a day did you do it?...in the morning or night before you bed?
Hey man...its been 3 years right? Hows the result now...does it make you hair line perfect again?
#1. Spilling it in the sink right after buying it
I didn’t like how he talked about scalp tension and diet being the cause, like yes this can accelerate it, but DIET DOES NOT CAUSE HAIRLOSS. It’s genetics and dht, I know he knows this but I hate when people say this, no matter how healthy people try and be the hair will still fall out, people need to stop saying this
Eating junk food tho can cause hair loss
@@youtubeaccountserio2633 stop the cap

Dude the half-life is over 20hrs so once a day is fine.
But the dose of 2ml vs 1ml may be the factor they're referring to when they state to apply it 2 x daily.
Salim Mishaal You only apply however much you need to cover the thin area. I don’t even use a half a cap (1ml) each day.
Jules Life your confidence is persuading
@@flip2724 Oh yeah? Hahaha. Thanks?
My dermatologist (a real one with a degree) instructed me to use it 2x a day. I think i will heed her advice. She also adviced me to take biotin once a day along with minoxidil 2x a day
Studies have shown minimal difference between once a day and twice a day.
And which one's better?
@@anonymus9324less is better, if it still does the job. Remember, it’s not a natural product and there’s chance of side effects. I’ve been getting chest pains and shortness of breath while I was using it twice a day, which is why I went down to applying it only once.
Do you apply Minoxidil only to the affected area going bald/to the crown? Or also to original hair to keep up the quality there?
Apply it only where you are balding. Minoxidil does not keep the hair healthy. It job is to stimulate the blood 🩸 so your hair can get 👍
Question. Do I have to wash my scalp again before applying minoxidil for the second time? I'm using the foam.
i know this is old you probably won't get it but oh well no you want it to sink in and stay in your hair and your scalp only wash your hair 3 times a week to 4 times a week using minoxidil you probably only should wash your hair 3 times a week I know this old you probably won't get it but oh well
I have a head full of hair but have a thinning and receding hairline, will the shedding phase make me look like I’m balding and impossible to cover my hairline
I need am answer for this also
Muhammad Mun'im I am on minox now and finished the shedding faze it wasn’t noticeable to anyone
@@jackhancho8571 how long you've been using? Also if the shedding phase finished, that means your hair starts to grow right?so how is it now?
Muhammad Mun'im I’ve been using for three and a half months, shedding phase started after about two weeks and lasted about 2-3 weeks. I’ve noticed my temples are thicker as I keep my hair short on the sides. I haven’t noticed anything on the top of my head as of yet but that’s probably because I keep my hair long on top
@@jackhancho8571 nice bro. One more thing, on the temples, did the parts where the follicles are already dead (the very front) start to grow to? Also thanks in advance bro.
The question is, I know minoxidil is a treatment and not a cure. So, if I stop using it after a few years, will I lose the hair I grow with minoxidil only or ALL?
He’s already answered this in the video - YES
@@EpicAelflaed yes to all or only those with minoxidil?
@@dcpln7 I guess the answer comes down to your genetics as well.
Each person will have different results as we are different in general.
Minoxidil is a product you can’t stop using once you start it.
I’ve watched other videos and they say it’s your diet too. You have to look at your food you eat and it’s got to be healthy and watch your calories intake. It’s good to have and maintain fitness goals too.
It’s all part and parcel of a healthy lifestyle and having healthy body and hair as a result. I would add, hang out with good positive motivated people.
That’s a good way to stay on track
Edit.. Also use a Derm Roller when you apply the minoxidil. Read all the instructions and apply exactly what’s written. You will need at least 3 months use before seeing results. Some of your hair will fall out at first within the first 6-8 weeks though this shows it’s working and it’s normal.
It mentions not to put on completely bald areas as it won’t work there and on healthy hair - it’s all in the info

Minoxidil is like daily necessity .. keep it always but don’t abuse it

Once a day is better.
why’s that?
I went to dermatologist to learn what type of hair loss I have & get a baseline. He refused to do anything, just told me to try minoxidil & hope that it works 😢
Who told you that is important to use two doses in 24 hours
One doesn't remains in the blood for 21 hours so there is no point to use two doses
As far as I’m aware there is 24hrs in a day! Seriously how stupid are people! Two is optimum! The end!
@@WeirdBrick Lol. Yeah, because you are somehow not allowed to reapply after 21 hours right? And in one month that is 60 vs 34. So 34 applications per month is sufficient for continuous exposure versus your pedantic 60 times for exactly the same efficacy. Get it now Einstein?
it is not about how long is stays in blood ffs, this is a topical treatment which affects hair follicles, when it enters blood it causes side effects , this 22 hour thing is used when monitoring the use of intravenous minoxidil or oral minoxidil not a topically used one !!!!!
The packaging says 2 doses a day
@@BarryB.Benson the packaging would like you to buy more. Use your critical thinking faculties. Once a day is fine.
Should I use Minoxidil for ever , I still have hair but I am losing some of it ?
How long can minoxidil be used from the first opening of the bottle. A 60 ml bottle is enough for two months of use. Will he not break down at this time? It is written on the bottle about six weeks after first opening. Nothing will happen if I use it or will it lose its properties?
Did you find out the solution? How’s ur hair now?
1ml twice a day. Thus 2ml a day.
A bottle should last 30 days and its safe to keep it open for a month.
Will it work in frontal scalp?
How long will it take to get the result?
Is initial hair loss happen when use this product?
We just made a video a few days ago discussing minoxidil for frontal baldness
Hello I have used minoxidile over 44 days...and increased my hair loss it's problem or normal?
How's your hair now?
Its very expensive to. 50 dollars a pop and you are saying not to use just minoxidil alone. I will be using this product for life. I just hope it works. I will have to wait to see if there are any results probably between 4 to 6 months of using the product. I will come back here to tell you in about 4 months if there are any hair growth. I used the product right after I showered. I applied quite a bit though so I am not sure if I was using it correctly. I didn't read the instructions throughly I just looked up how to do it on youtube. People have went from bald to growing back their hair with this product. But they also applied finasteride along with a hair growth shampoo and a dermaroller. I don't have the money for this stuff right now. I don't know when I will be able to get them. Thanks for this video.
Minoxidil isn't bad but it's very annoying as it makes you skin very dry and may result in dandruff breakout. Due to this I feel a lot of people quit early.
It looks like am quitting too because of this dandruff and hitching.
Couldn't you offset that by using magnesium oil or some other essential oil
I would think nizoral twice a week at first would solve the dandruff and rosemary oil , ... I want to try minoxidil , I have heard of oral minoxidil has anyone tried this
@@carlrowe7105 the only issue I could think of with oral minoxidil would be is it ok to mix with oral finesteride. Never seen a product for oral minox though.

Hello and thank you for your hair videos, question can I use rogaine foam on its own or do I have to take it with finasteride, also should I needle roll with rogaine foam . Thank you
Minoxidil is about 65% effective, whereas finasteride is about 90% effective. It's usually recommended that you use both for best results, so long as you keep up treatment. Microneedling boosts minoxidil effectiveness by 4x
I’d speak to a doctor first before starting finasteride. Too many side effects with that med. I’m just using minoxidil and nizrol shampoo
@@saleemjavaid8870 is this worked ?
The easiest way is too shave your hair real short and keep it short then it’s easy to see where hair is coming in etc and what’s going
is there any difference between Minoxidol and Regaine - Regaine more expensive.
Regraine/rogaine is the name of the brand the active ingredient is called minoxidil.
I don't fully trust chemicals so i only use 1 ml per day instead of 2.
We'll see in 3 months if it will work or not.
Lol 🤣
Does that mean you walk arround half naked and brush only your upper teeth too?
So, how is it now? 😂
Why don't you just do as your told
Did it work?
My dermatologist says once a day is enough...twice won't be any better
Mine said the same.
My dermatologist said twice. Maybe it depends on how bad of condition your hair is in
Either way don't forget to microneedle with minoxidil it increases the benefits ×4
Mine said opposite it sure would be nice if there was any sort of consistency among these people...dermatology is the most competitive field to match into for medical students (more than plastic surgery and every other surgery type)...yet they can't seem to come to a consensus on this really basic medication that thousands upon thousands of men use
Pretty frustrating that these Dr's. With high qualifications just can't agree
@carlrowe7105 is that true. Have you done it and seen a big difference?
My buddy had amazing results with miceoneedling, minoxidil, and finasteride...I mean from a huge bald spot and a slight receding hairline to no bald spot and his hairline (whole still receding) looks way thicker and the hairs around it are so much thicker that you can't even tell he's got any recede due to how he styles it
I've been blown away by his results and went with the same regiment, he swear microneedling boosted his results big time, but I'm super skeptical. I've only been on this for 2 weeks and have started shedding and it's freaking me out
hello , I used an Algerian minoxidil product in 2020 for 6 months and I noticed that the hair loss was stopped but without hair regrowth, recently I decided to change the brand of minoxidil using (KIRKLAND) for more than 6 months, but I noticed a catastrophic hair loss .my question : should I use the first product or be patient, knowing that I use oral finastiride with, but without result
Should I use 2x the recommended amount ? because think about it the clinical studies were based applying the recommended amount on just the vertex but I'm balding from vortex to front, so I should use the recommend amount on just the vortex and then additional on the top of my head which has very thinning hair?
The recommended amount did NOTHING for me. I started using two FULL droppers worth, and had nice gains in two months with zero side effects.
Alopel vs minoxidil. With the best?? Please answer

Visit your doctor first that should be step one
For real tho, how do you make sure the minoxidil gets to the scalp and not in the hair? It’s a lot harder than it sounds. Short of buzzing my hair, it’s pretty hard, especially in the parts of my head I can’t see in the mirror. Is the foam better?
you take a qtip, dip the qtip in the liquid and rub it directly on the scalp
Sorry for my English I wish you can get the point ....
I am 27 years old before 5 years I was in a vary stressful period of my life and I lost some hairs but that stops ...5 years after that I dont even have problem of hair loss but those hairs that I have already lost dont growing back are so think and small but still exist can minoxidil help me grow again those small hairs ? And how many times per day ? I am about to start and one more question if I lose hairs is part of the plan ?
Yes
Yes and no, it depends on the state of your hair root, if the root is so small that it only now produces vellus hair then it won't regrow. I would see a dermatologist for this because you may use it and still don't see so many results. I heard from mine that the most important is to use it right from the start of the hair loss. Also you can just had temporary hair loss (telogen effluvium)
Just started shedding and im freaking out...good to hear this isnt abnormal but its still really frustrating to see
So frustrating. My shedding is finally starting to slow. I have long hair, though, which was alarming.

Boy you have an internet connection why you don't use it and research?
Minoxidil has to stay atleast 4 hours on your head without washing
He doesn't address DHT. Simply put, one needs to add Finasteride or Dutasteride along with applying Minoxidil every day. Minoxidil on it's own, will not prevent further hair loss.
Would you apply the finasteride or dutasteride right after applying the rogaine? Or should you wait and apply later in the day?

It’s very important that you don’t use any other products, especially Minoxidil on the days you use the roller. They recommend a 24 hour healing time after using a roller.
I use it IMMEDIATELY after dermarolling. Don't believe all the negative side effects talk. 99% of the side effects are in their head. It's a prime example of the nocebo effect. They talk themselves into it. And I use two full droppers worth twice a day. The 1ml dosage they suggest is ridiculous.
Recently bought (USA) Bosley men's healthy hair thickening shampoo. Any benefits besides thickening hair, and can it be used long term? I don't want to use any products to mitigate the inevitable lol. your advise is appreciated.
My minoxidil box tells me to only use it once a day, it's a 5% one too despite being for women. I should do as it instructs, surely, and only use it once a day?
Yes he's talking shit. Sadly. Oral Minoxidil has a half life of around 6 hours. Topical has a half life of around 25 hours. Once a day is absolutely fine.
Ok so if it's for women. Women are only supposed to use it 1 time a day if it is the 5% liquid if its the 2% we use that 2 times a day we shouldn't use it more then as directed if we are in our child bearing ages it can cause issues. If you are a man though the 5% 2 times a day is the general guideline. Hope that helps
@@tooshlong my derm told me minoxidil has a half life of 18hrs. The only reason this person's directions say 1 time a day is because it is for women if it were the 2% liquid we can do it 2 times a day but a women should never do the 5% twice a day because it can cause issues.

isnt that what fin does? it just helps with DHT being converted and thats what helps the hair f's to sorta 'heal' and your hair gets a little thicker as a result of the less dht
Moxi is what promotes new growth

Using both the things everday means you will need to wash your hair daily with shampoo and that's not at all a good call. So, in my opinion use rogaine for 6 days n castor on the 7th day.....If i talk about me so i use 1ml of minoxidil once a day for 5-6 days a week n do nothing extra n i think i'm getting results...wish you good luck with your hairs..God bless😇
oral castor oil > topical
The oil will not help. It will just clog your pores and keep the minoxidil from absorbing.
Once a day is fine for me and as per doctor’s advise
Will minoxidil solution vapourize if we opened it to use for a few minutes daily for about 1-2 minutes... ???
No! The big Pack of ALOPEXY i.e. has 3 bottles each 60mg. One bottle is for one month (30days) becuase you use 2mg per day. 1mg in the morning, 1mg in the evening. One open bottle lasts therefore for 1 month. So nothing to worry because on 2 minutes open bottle per day.
Yes. After 4.7 seconds, the bottle is ruined.

From
5% twice a day
To
2% once in a week!?
No it will effect in hair regrowth and may result in telogen phase where your balding occurs

Foam is rubbish.. the oil straight to the scalp is most effective
oh sorry, i didn't mentioned that i use it on my face, not on scalp.. anyway, thanks for your advice
Wow. Thank you. So much
Which is better once a day or twice a day of application?
if u start minoxidil use it twice a day after your back to normal cycle use it once a day for maintanance
Many doctors are suggesting once a day is enough! So I will stick to it
Yeah, Minoxidil lasts for around 22 hours, so once a day is enough. Even the dermatologist told me not to waste the fluid unnecessarily so that it would last longer.
Bet you're still bald, huh?
Minoxidyl should be taken FOREVER until your hair follicles naturally just die of your old age. Your NOT SUPPOSED TO EVER DISCONTINUE IT.
I’m 16 in high school thin hair, a fair amount of hair loss, and sebormic dermatitis. What the hell is wrong with my body and life
I’m 18 and have had the exact same issue, go to a dermatologist ASAP and he will be able to tell you exactly what you need to do to stop your dermatitis and he will most likely give you either minoxidil 5% or finasteride or maybe even both. Basically I urge you to go to a dermatologist and get examined. He can save you
Lmao we the same 😂
Oztrog 6 I was also the same problem last 7-8 years Seborrich dermatitis hair fall itchy red scalp.i see 2 dermatologist one give me finestrid another 5% minoxidil also ketokonazole shampoo avoid sugar oily dairy products.but symptoms improved but hair fall just as notmal i lost 50 % hair just 22 years
Also try cutting sulfates and silicones out of your hair products. It sounds dumb, but my flakes went from an issue to virtually gone about three months after the switch.
It’s really awful men, my self steel just sky rocketed, now am constantly thinking about how my hair looks, I have months of avoiding the pool or beach because when my hair gets wet I can see my scalp in some places, every fucking things that am using it’s now working and my head has a bad shape so go bald I not an option, it’s hell bro...
twice a day is just not true. the half life is 18hrs so once a day is plenty. im all for twice daily for the first month but after that it is not worth it
and derma roll weekly along with finasteride. this is proven effective. twice daily with one treatment will never be better than many treatments practiced religiously
What ALL Natural shampoo do you use?
Lol I thought he said Hair God For a split second there
Can I take a shower the morning after applying Minoxidil before going to bed? Or it is gonna rip it off my scalp?
your scalp will get ripped off, very painful
does it matter how much I'll actually apply? for my example I have my front side of hairline very slowly thinning but its such a small part that I doubt I'll even need 1ml. Does it matter if I apply 0.5ml instead of 1ml?
no, doesnt matter
plz help, when can i apply gel or wax? do i wash my hair let it dry put in wax or gel then follow by minoxodil? or let it dry apply minoxodil let it dry for 4hours and then apply wax/gel?
Yes, let it dry for at least 2 hours, optimal 4 and then apply what you want.
Does minoxidil cause a second shedding period, after 5 months of usage?
It knocks out the weak hairs and replaces them with stronger ones, dosnt matter when you have those weak hairs if you have them they will fall out.
I am pretty sure that the shedding period is a week or 2 after you start using it and that it only lasts a couple day’s
The same things hapen with me, after using minoxidil for 4 month all was good but after the 5 month , my hair stated to be week more and more even i keep using minoxidil , i dont know what is the causes??!!!!!
ياسين عمري you should go see a hair specialist, I’m pretty sure your hair is falling because you are losing hairs faster than you are gaining from minoxidil, ask your dermatologist from stronger treatments “if he agrees that minoxidil is not enough”
ياسين عمري try watching a RUclips named “Kevin Mann
Using shampoo with zinc after washing the hair not apply minox
Does Rogaine permanently kill your follicles if you stop using it? I’m a pre-testosterone trans guy and had a pretty naturally hairy face. I started using Minoxidil last year for about 3-6 months and then stopped. Now all my original hair hasn’t grown back! I’m freaking out that Minoxidil has killed all my follicles so that when I start Testosterone I’m not going to have any facial hair. Can you reassure me that this isn’t the case? What can I do to get my original hair to grow back?
You are a woman who wants to be a man?
@@vision821k4 no I’m not “a woman who wants to be a man”. I’m a trans man.

@@vision821k4 he was born as a woman and is in the process of becoming a man..he is already a trans man which means he has completed the surgeries and is on hormonal treatments
very bad impression for me. because when i was start it use gradually my hair fall increased rapidly.i would fear and stop its use.
Wait... you're supposed to only apply to dry hair?! I use the kirkland monoxodil and it says apply to wet hair.
I think it is better to do on wet hair as it absorbs into the scalp better especially if you have long hair. If you apply dry it’ll just wet the hair and not really get into the scalp
I used kirkland and it says apply to dry hair, and scalp.
@@jinvalledor6387 were you able to buy from costco store
I highly doubt it says "wet hair".
Scalp tension a thing or false? It sounds...good, like stress involved hair loss but seems debunked, no?
A question: I've been using monixidil for 2 months now and still haven't noticed the shedding. Does it mean that it's not working?
It may take up to 4 months to see results
kind of same. having no significant results yet despite two bottle of foam regain
@@MrZague8 4 months to see shedding?
I never got any shedding, but after 6 months my hair was definitely thicker.
Can i use hair tonic after udr minoxidil?
Hy i use minoxidil 5%. And after 3 week is start to fall a lot. Every aplication when i massage my scalp my hands are full of hear. What can i do? I continu or i help it whit shampoo. What i must to eat? I do not drink a lot of water, this can be a problem. My hear problem is genetic. Pls help. Tnks!
Ignoring your bad English, you should use Minoxidil with Finasteride or Dutasteride for the hair to be kept since these drugs go for the 5AR directly. Minoxidil alone in your case won't be enough
Tnks. Just for the record i am not a nativ english. I talk/wright a few time a year. So i think my english is ok. Can u talk in my language not ask for wright. If u get the point is ok. Tnks for the point. Have a nice day!

Alin trebuie să fie minoxidil 5%. Îl poți procura din surse oficiale , de exemplu : boots...
Aplicarea se face de doua ori pe zi ( o data la 12 ore , 2 ml , și urmată de un masaj suav...) In primele săptămâni ( chiar o luna de zile ) îți va cădea parul chiar mai mult, insa nu trebuie să te sperii, pentru că este ceva normal... Începând cu a doua luna lucrurile vor merge foarte bine, părul nu o sa mai cadă... Pt ca lucrurile să meargă și mai bine e indicat să continui tratamentul cel puțin un an de zile... Și încă ceva, poți vizita un medic pt un medicament care merge mână în mână cu minoxidil , finasteride... Acesta e o pastilă de 1mg, o singura data pe zi ( o data la 24 ore )... Ar mai fi și alte medicamente care măresc eficiența celor două de mai sus : biotina cu vit C , zinc de 40 mg și multivitamine și minerale, acestea desigur câte o pastilă, o data la 24 ore...cu unica diferență că multivitaminele și mineralele le vei lua separat la câteva ore față de celelalte... Eu mi am făcut un transplant de păr în Turcia și urmez acest tratament postoperator... Rezultatele sunt vizibile , bune și continuă să fie și mai bune după a treia luna ...
O alta chestiune foarte importantă este raportul sexual, de preferință să se evite in primele 6 luni de zile, iar după sa nu se exagereze cu sexul....
PS ... Dacă mai ai ceva nelămuriri sau vrei sa te ajut cumva scriemi....
Ok tnks. Super info. Am prins idea. Noroc ca nu am abandonat tratamentul ca cand a inceput sa cada intens. Acum sper sa reapara ce am pierdut plus macar inca cel putin 30% in plus. Eu am achizitionat minoxidil 5% cel produs in israel. Am inteles ca e cel mai bun. Mai multe cunostinte il folosesc. Acum nu stiu daca are vreo treaba brandul/producatorul ca am vazut mai multi producatori de minoxidil pe piata. Oricum multumesc de info.
just use couple drops on area you need to grow only! (5-6 ) drops on large areas would work and woul save you $
is it better to use minoxidil after shaving ur head? i have very long hair but i did get an undercut and i can’t tell if my hair in the undercut area is growing and i do notice that some recession is going on at the hairline area and it seems itll be difficult to apply in the area
I found it worked better when I shaved my head

Bro i have doubt .. i have frontal baldness may i use Kirkland minoxide5%
@@johns7288 should be fine from what everyone is saying
@@joshuagovi
Kirkland product pack shows only for vertex hire problem. Not for frontal baldness and haireline then how can I use it.
@@johns7288 Try it. Minoxidil is minoxidil. It works. Everyone is different but it works
If you don't want to use Kirkland try keeps or numan or rogaine
You can so it once a day btw guys. Already proven, sounds like these guys got paid to say twice a day
How is it with you btw, is it worth it?
Can you apply pomade after using the minoxidil?
As per the instructions, you can after after the minoxidil has dried
Once a day is enough when applying minoxidil, dont give wrong advice.
Yupp
The packaging literally says twice a day.... Once a day is one year AFTER (for maintenance)
@Leceindy Leki I applied the medication from 1yr 2 times a day now i am using it once a day
@@goosty17 i didn't know that, thank you
Depends on the percentage present, example 5% monoxodil will be applied once. And 2.5 % will be used two times.
What if you dont experience a shed?
