Does Minoxidil actually work or is it a scam?
>>83469352made my face bloated, fuck this shit.
>>83469352I've been taking it for 3 years every day. It works at keeping your hair but it probably won't regrow it. At least in my experience.It made my hair regrow nicely at first. I couldn't even tell I was balding anymore. But then my hair suddenly fell out again which is normal they say. But then my hair never came back to how nice it was at first. Then every time I'd brush my hair a ton of it would come out but over time it stopped doing that and now I still look like I'm balding again but my hair doesn't fall out anymore. Now I'm stuck in this limbo where my hair still looks bad, but I think it would look even worse if I stopped taking it. It sucks. It effected my beard too and made it thicker permanently though.Also if you're gonna do it, it's advised to stab yourself in the head with a "derma stamp" once a week. Get a cheap $5-10 one. It's supposed to boost your gains with minoxidil by like 20% or something. Who the fuck knows.
>>83469359Did your face go back to normal eventually?
I used to mix it in with my sister's lotion. Not sure if it worked but I like to think it did. You want smooth skin? Too bad, here's chewbacca, fuck you.
>>83469352You need to take finasteride or dutasteride to do the majority of the work keeping your hairlineMinoxidil will thicken it a little on top of itI'm only 3 months in which is the earliest possible stage to see improvement and I am starting to see it now
>>83469475>finasteride or dutasterideBoth kill libido. Lose hair or lose working junk. Take your pick.
>>83469802Less than 1% incidence, no issues on my machineBaldies overblow it
>>83469802less than 1% but everyone is well aware of it happening, almost like big pharma doesn't like the truth getting out.
>>83469911I never had any issues, and after my hair transplant to fix my norwood 2 1/2, have hair like I did in high school again.
>>83469475This>>83469802In very few cases. Been on fin for years and my dick still gets insanely hard, random boners throughout the day, etc.
>>83469911or its almost like its something baldies say over and over again to assuage themselves that they made the right choice in letting themselves go bald lol
>>83469352It made my hair look brand new again within 3 months but once I tapered down to 1x a day it stopped working. I got really sick of having to slop it on my hair twice a day.
>>83469359You don't inject it in your face, dumbass
>>83470754Bald copers gonna cope
>>83469352Is Rogaine a decent alternative if you can't get a doc's prescription? I hear minoxidil is just the generic for Rogaine anyway
>>83470764>>83469475how many cm did you regain and what stage of norwood were you onI'm already noticeably v-shaped myself but not ghastly
>>83469352Yes also oral minoxidil is better. I'm glad I was able to get it otc in Thailand. Don't have to put shit in my hair every day and it made my hair thicker than when I was on topical. No sides at all.Also I'm on finasteride and no sides except my cum is more watery. Libido is either the same or slightly higher than before. I think people having problems with it are lazy pieces of shit who never work out, smoke weed, and take ssris every day, then blame the finasteride for tanking their libido and testosterone.
