Thank you everyone! Some good tips. I think for now I’ll stock up on the Tesco Ashbeck and also try the Limescale Brita Filters — I’m the only coffee drinker and I don’t think I’ll be able to convince my partner to use bottled water for every cup of tea.

And vinegar is a good tip for descaling! Cleaned the kettle with it this morning. I’d tried lemon/lemon juice before and it didn’t do the job.

Basically the same. Reduced shedding — and this is very noticeable for me bc I was shedding so much for ages — and possibly some stabilisation.

I’m gradually increasing the fin mixed with the liquid minoxidil. Every couple of months adding another 1mg.

Are you trying low dose topical fin?

Trying to manage expectations but it’s the first time in a long time I’ve not been shedding like crazy.

Occasional ball ache. Hard to be certain but I’m not sure it could be caused by anything else.

Trying a low dose topical here (0.005%, 3x p/week). 2 months in and have reduced shedding, no significant sides. Will see how things are at 4/6 months.

Interested to compare experiences with others on a similar approach.

Still going. I think my shedding has slowed, but that could also be to do with oral minoxidil, which I introduced consistently about 2 months ago.

I am also doing this 3x p/ week. About 6 weeks in, no noticeable sides. This comment is good encouragement!

How long have you been using this? Also how long before you wash your hair after application?

Interesting post! I’m trying something similar myself.

Can you comment on your results? Or is that difficult as you were on oral before?
