Title: Using minoxidil only once per day?
Post by: Apples Mk.II on August 06, 2013, 05:09:42 PM
New doubts arise with time. So far I've been using 5% liquid minoxidil, a version that despite having a bit of alcohol, it still keeps the greasy, oily component.

When I started going out with a wig maybe once or twice per week, I'd simply skip it in the mornings. That thing needs around two hours to be fully absorbed, and I did not want to damage the wig or not allow it to dry properly.

As time goes by, I'm close to going full time. Apart from minoxidil I'm also using everything I can. Keto shampoo, avodart, not to mention HRT.

As things are now, I have moved from a wig to a front clip-on bangs extension which solves the problem until I get transplants in a future. Made of natural hair, impossible to notice ( so the good that a friend I revealed the truth to is planning on getting one too). So I never go out without it. The problem? Same as with the wig, I can't put minoxidil and use it at the same time.

Do you thing it's possible to use only one application of minox on the night now that it is not the only thing helping the hair?

Regards.

I only use it at night and have done so for the last few years. It seems to still do the job along with finesturide and my hrt.
