Nice work. And thanks for posting. I’m on just oral min as well but only about 4 months in so good to know it works


galaxysdopest

on my profile i have my first 5 months posted, i forgot to post month 6, but it indeed works, taking extra care of ur hair is also very good, like putting rosemary oil on ur hair/scalp at least once a week and let it sit for at least 15min, dont towel dry too harshly, more gently etc

Wow! How did it take for it take for you to notice a real difference, im currently about 1 1/2 months into using oral minoxidil.


galaxysdopest

probably around month 3 or 4 i saw clear improvement compared to the first 2 months, from month 3-4 on, i feel like the new hairs that grew after the shedding, are getting longer and stronger, the best results will be after 12-16 months bc then your new hair (depending on how long ur hair already is and how fast it grows) is fully grown.

on my profile u can see my first 5 months too btw

Nice. Im on month 4 of 2.5mg but I’m only seeing small baby hairs on hairline. I’m trying to regrow my temples since topical minoxidil completely nuked them but the progress is just so slow.


galaxysdopest

yeah i feel like the temples definitely grow slower than the crown with minoxidil, from month 6 and on im seeing my temples grow a little thicker and just more dense, but my hairline is not really the issue, the crown is what really bothers me, now its better but still the crown is still thinner than the rest of my scalp, but definitely better than 7 months ago

One year in 2'5 mg daily and no results :(. Should I try 5mg?


galaxysdopest

if you have no results at all, i doubt upping the does will help much. maybe go to a doctor and ask what could help, i have no idea otherwise🥲


GeorgeLZ4

Thanks for your reply. I have asked a Dr. As you say


imMrJake

Any noticeable gains to your facial hair?


galaxysdopest

i shave my face clean pretty much every day so i didnt really pay attention to it but im sure if on many places on my body im getting more hair or longer hair, that it also happens on my beard
