Thank you for defending minoxidil for those who chose to use it! I've been using for 2 years and LOVE it. Your story is very similar to mine. I believe that any small risks this medication may have is worth it now that I have a full head of hair. Also...those that say "it's only hair" need to be reminded that hair care is a billion dollar industry. Why? Because healthy beautiful hair is desirable! So happy for you!
Couldn’t agree more!! Definitely each to their own and whatever makes you happy and confident I’m all for. There really are no side effects worth worrying over. Life has so many risks ❤️
A woman on minoxidil getting pregnant can cause birth defects to a developing fetus. Also men too. Minoxidil is in the blood stream that also feeds the baby. Can be in the breast milk too. Birth defects are real
Those who say “it’s just hair” have full head of hair that’s why they can’t understand how it feels like to experience extreme hair fall n seeing bald patches
Thank you for this video. I've been going through the same thing, being diagnosed with aga in my 20s and starting minoxidil, and watching you talk about your experience make me so much less scared and feel so much more reassured. Thank you❤️ Your hair looks amazing and wishing you all the best!
Hoping that minoxidil works for me too
I am sending you so much love - so happy this video resonated with you. You are most certainly not alone. Sending you love xxx
It all started after I nursed my 2 babies. Then I faced postpartum, and now hair loss. Now, I have a dermatologist whom I love. She 1st did my blood test, and regularly gave me Rx. My dermatologist is my savior. Things us moms go through. Minoxidil helps 100%. I use it daily in small amount. Thank you Lisa for sharing your story.
Ah I’m so sorry to hear you had to go through this. I am sending you so much love. I truly believe minoxidil is a saving grace and some people only option. And honestly it’s so okay! ❤️
Check your iron and vitamin D levels
Also check your thyroid
Thank you so much for this video! I was so happy to hear of the peace it brought you.
Thank you so much 🥹❤️
I've been using minoxidil solution 5% since January, and was very happy about it. Unfortunately it has led to a minor seborrheic dermatitis.... You see I apply it at night and the next morning my head is itching and red. Meanwhile
I am experiencing another episode of hair fall the past 20 days, so not being able to use it everyday makes me nervous. I believe your determination to use it consistently is correct. You have to be realistic about it, and also patient. It takes about 8 months to judge if it is really working for you. I wish you the best!!! ❤
Sending you so so much love! I hope the shedding stops soon ❤️❤️
I had the same, doc said use the foam instead. Worked for me. No more dermatitis.
go for 2% then
@@sarahsw727 yes! I am using the foam now and have no problem. I think the hair fall also has somewhat stabilised
Sometimes alcohol based minioxidil can cause some irritation, try other that doesn’t have alcohol. Hope this helps
Hi Lisa, I came across the video you made 2 years ago about you losing your hair and how traumatic it was every time you showered. You even posted a picture of how much hair you were losing. I couldn’t relate to you more. I know exactly how you were feeling because that’s how I feel now that I’m going through the same thing. I immediately looked for a more recent video of you to see your journey update and I saw this one. It caught my attention because it is about Minoxidil. I want to share with you my experience with it. I started using Minoxidil 5 years ago when I was 39yrs old. I did a full research before I started so I knew the side effects and the whole process. I,like you, and many others started seeing great results. I knew if I stopped using it my (temporary) hair would fall out again. Knowing this, I decided to stop using it on January 2024. After using it for 5 years twice a day I got tired. First I thought my hair was going to fall out as soon as I stoped but it didn’t. One, two, three, four weeks went by and no hair was falling out. To be honest, I thought I was off the hook. I thought I was lucky and completely forgot about it. On March 2024 my hair started to fall like crazy!! I had no idea what was going on. I blamed the stress I was going through so I bought pills for stress, used essential oils to calm me down, but my hair kept falling out badly!😢
I cried every time ai showered. I even stopped using my hair products( I have wavy hair)I stopped my supplements since I thought they were maybe too many. You named it, I tried it. It’s been almost two months now and I’m still shedding. Not until last week I remembered about Minoxidil, I searched up and yes it says your hair start to fall out from 3-6 months after you stop using it. In a way it gave me peace to know it was that and not anything else. I even thought someone gave me the evil eye 🧿
Long story short, yes Mioxidil does work, and as you know it does fall out once you stop using it. I’m just sharing this with you for you to be prepared. The shedding is no joke and is terrible!!!😢😢
I’m still shedding after 2 months. I’ve lost 45-50% of my hair. This is nothing against Mioxidol since it does work and it does warns you about the side effects once you stop using it. I’m just sharing this with you because you said you’ll eventually stop once you decide to have babies. Please be mentally prepared🙏🏻 My hair didn’t go back how I had it when I was 39yrs old. My hair aged to my current age 44 in 2 months. This is still a journey, I’m planing to stop my current shampoo since maybe now is too strong for my weak scalp. If that doesn’t work iIm definitely going to see a doctor. I’ll keep you and everyone that is going through this in my prayers. Is not easy but you’re not alone and we will prevail❤️
Sending you so much love ❤️❤️❤️
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 love and hugs, this is what I’m scared of too. I’m 37 and I just hope I can always afford this stuff I just want my hair to be pretty and long again
@@reesefranklin777 I also wanted my hair pretty and long but after using it for 4 years 2x day, I got tired. I’m finally done with my shedding, after 3 months😢I don’t have as much hair as I used to while using Minoxidil but I’m happy I don’t depend on it any more. Best of luck!
I’m looking forward to your follow up video. Also I would love to see a tutorial on how you apply your minoxidil. I’m planning on starting minoxidil soon. I’m seeing my derm in august but I’m pretty certain he is going to put me on romaine.
I will do this but I don’t want to show anyone something that’s wrong !! But I will show the way I do it. Good luck for your appointment ❤️
Everyone’s journey is different. Your hair looks amazing.
Everyone’s journey is different. Your hair looks amazing.
Some people say minoxidil can cause wrinkles. Did you ever feel this to be true in your case...your skin looks amazing in the video! Thank you for the video!
I haven’t found that but maybe others do? Sending you love
Thank you for posting this!!!
Thank you for watching xx ❤️
Im starting this tonight im so nervous bc of the bad reviews but i need my hair back so i can feel happy and like my self again.
I couldn’t rate it more … honestly best decision I have ever made ❤️
@@LisavanWyk_ awe I hope I can say the same 🫶🏼 thank u for replying ☺️
Hey. How many times per day do you use it ? And what percentage if I may ask? Thank you for the vid 🙏🏻
I use it once every two days and I use 5% xx
How often? What's the dosage?
Great video btw. Very comforting.
Thank you! 1mg per day
How long did your “dread shed” last? Did you experience any negative side effects? I have TE from Covid but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better so am considering minoxidil…although pretty scared about the dread shed
I would say about 6 weeks! Just have to push through it. It will stop !!

@@LisavanWyk_ thanks for letting me know. Your hair looks great now by the way - really healthy and strong.
Girl your hair looks so beautiful! Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, I have had the same condition since I was teenager and I'll start using minoxidil soon I hope it'll work for me, do you use some DHT blocker too?
Thank you so much 💖 no I only use minoxidil! I actually recently started oral minoxidil. Good luck xxx
I've been thinning right at the front of my hairline since 2012 . I'm fed up n feel defeated. I've decided to start minoxidil. Has it made your hair thicker on the scalp?
Yes absolutely it has for sure.
@@LisavanWyk_ Is it the foam you use?
Did you see a difference with minoxidil? And if so how long after treatment. I didn’t see a difference in three months.
I did in the beginning - but I’ll be honest I have been experiencing lots of hair loss again!
@LisavanWyk_ I've had the same experience. Mine sheds anytime I change doses. Also, I just started on spironolactone as well. Have you tried that? Apparently, that's the best combination for women.
Yesterday I went to Costco and bought minoxidil. I don't know what to expect and I am a little worried. But I just finally want to have thicker and nicer-looking hair so I am taking the risk.
I don't know how toxic it is but some people have smoked cigarettes for years and they don't do any good for their health, at least with minoxidil I have hope to treat one of my biggest insecurities.
Wishing you the best of luck xxx
@@LisavanWyk_ Thank you ☺️
I started using rogaine 5 weeks ago and I’m losing even more hair. My derm assured me that it’s normal but it’s very difficult. Did you experience this? If so, how long did it last?
Yes all very normal! It’s shedding all the hair that’s about to fall out all at once. So it seems like a lot but I promise it’s normal ❤️
did it stoped?
Have looked into your hormones? Depending on age, look into perimenopause. Women are going experiencing this earlier in life. Many doctors are clueless and not trained in this area.
I actually have! They all seemed normal 💖
Androgenetic alopecia has nothing to do with hormones. I have it too, my hormones are normal. It’s genetic thing(
I have the same condition and have been now told to use oral minoxidil. I totally agree with your train of thought. Do you use topical or oral? Thanx
I use topical minoxidil! Every night before I sleep! How are you finding it? Xx
Haven't started yet but will do so in a couple of weeks. My dosage is 1,5mg. I'm shit scared although my derm guaranteed it's a very low dose, besides being safe and effective. You had been on oral, right? How was it for you? Any side effects? Why did you stop? Tia 😘
heard that the pill form minoxidil can cause hair growth in areas beside head . But maybe it works for soemone if they have allergic reactions to the topical version
You look amazing. Thank you for making this video ❤
Ah thank you so much ❤️
Hi im in my mid 20s and already on minoxidil, felt very sad to be on a drug so early on in life but i feel very reassured with your video. Have you heard of other products like Redensyl? Any idea if this product works?
Sending you love! No I haven’t heard of it! I have just used minoxidil💖
hey same is going with me I am 26 but what if I want to get pregnant next year what will I do
Yess it's a great alternative of minoxidil
During pregnancy your oestrogen levels would be naturally high so you’d experience hair growth that eventually will fall after the pregnancy but then you’d be able to continue with your minoxidil x
This is super interesting. Thanks so much!
@@LisavanWyk_Yep, can confirm the same. I got full, thick hair during pregnancy and then boom, as per the documented “norm”, hair started falling ever since. 4 years now and hair is thinning to a point where it has started affecting me. I thought it might be peri-menopause but got tested for that, not the case.
Thank you for sharing and documenting. I’d be interested in the Derm you went to in Milnerton, I feel like that should be my next step.
And lastly, I also follow Cassandra Bankson and she has been on a journey of her own. FYI

how much hair do you think you lose on a daily basis? thank you for this video, it's very helpful.
Thank you 💕💕 when it was really bad it didn’t really ever stop falling. So it’s hard to say …
Were you on any medications? Beta blockers propanalol made my hair fall out & hair loss stopped once i stopped propanalol. Just hoping it will all grow back again. Im on day 9 of no propanaol & its hardly falling out now. I have a bald patch thats slowly growing back in now too.
No just minoxidil 💕💕
Hi im 51 and i have hairlos also alopacia but its also becouse hormonen so i am on minoxidill for 5 weaks now and mmy dokter say that i can stop after 1 jear but i dont want to stop im to scared i will lose my hair again i can se that it helped a litlle bit its to short time for me
I’m so sorry. Sending you so much love. It’s such tough journey 💔
You’re talking about oral minoxidil?
I am!
❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing your story ❤❤❤
🥹❤️
Pls answer me
Minoidil 2nd shed is longee than 6 months i am still loosing alot of hair after first shed i had good hair growth
Has monxiudl stop woeking for me ?😊
@@allaboutbds6037 I’m not too sure! I’d advise asking your doctor
Its seems the Mirena trigged the AGA. I have the same thing sadly from Mirena
This is so interesting. So horrible - I only had mine a few weeks so it’s so frustrating. Sending love ❤️
I affected by androgenic alopecia so, my dermatologist preferred minoxidil, started using min week before fingers crossed
Good luck 💕💕💕
I’m 29 years old and I started using minoxidil when I was 27 because of the androgenetic alopecia.. 😢
Sending you so much love ❤️
I used minoxidil for years, did nothing and expensive, you have to use it for ever!
I’m so sorry to hear this was your experience! 💔
Does it cause facial hair?
Hi I am using Minoxidil since 5 month for 2 times a week. And I feel like my hair even fall more. Was that also the case for you?
WHAT PERCENT OF MINOXIDIL DO YOU USE?
I take 1mg per day ❤️
Why don’t you take Spironolactone? It’s need to address the root cause of androgenetic alopecia
My doctor prescribed me spironolactone do I need to take it forever so my hair stops falling? And if i do stop it is my hair gonna start falling out again :(
@@kenouza4200 yes, until you don’t care about your hair anymore
Thank you Lisa
💕💕
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
I have the same condition, but i dont respond so well to minoxidil, i dont get it why are you make something big that you use topical minoxidil. Not evrybody have so lucky like and it is just enough to use just topical minoxidil. People dont be full, androgenic alopecia is gentetic, herbs didnt work!
I’m just talking about my experience. No pressure to watch / comment on a video you don’t resonate with! 😀
Dont get my wrong you are brave to say that you have aga, and your hair looking so great. But if you are posting sth on RUclips, not evrybody must to agree with you. I am just saying that people shouldnt scared of topical minoxidil because it save, and is not heavy. Some woman who suffering this condition dont responded to it. I wish you all the best!
@@chudykucyk again - if you don’t respond to it then clearly this video isn’t meant for you! Good luck with your hair loss. Hope you find what works
what a total waste of nearly 20min. This is an awful experience video, you dont say the version of minoxidil you used, the dosage , the regularity of application, the documented changes that you noticed or any side effects. plus you say you started in feb and this video is june and your hair is the healthiest its ever been but even if we say your hair is super fast growing the most any growth could be is 2.5", so theoretically your hair cant look that much different than it did in feb. if you mean that your the happiest youv ever been with the quality of growth and lack of loss that wasnt worded well. i would have titled the video something else like " why i decided to take minoxidil"
It’s literally titled my minoxidil experience. The dosage I take etc etc. is irrelevant as you should seek medical advice for that. Not a video from the internet. The minoxidil stopped my hair loss therefore my hair felt thicker and healthier. I also have tons of videos explaining the other treatments I do besides minoxidil.
Wow you’re mean haha - imagine commenting this on someone’s video. I don’t owe you anything.
