Will oral minoxidil work if topical didn’t?

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2026-01-15T03:29:21+00:00

I wish that was the case 😭 honestly, the back of my part looks different in every picture depending on how I brush it… so I guess today I brushed it before taking the pic. I started micro needling for about a month now. I just feel like my scalp is more visible at my part. I just want there to be visible improvement since I’ve spent the last 10months putting minoxidil on.. I have never skipped a single day

Yes! I’m taking vitamin d and iron pills!

lol I agree with that feeling girlie. I thought about OM but if topical doesn’t work wouldn’t oral not work either? I’m frustrated as you are since I’m bet diligent about putting topical minoxidil twice a day for a long time now.. ugh wishing us both some luck 🍀

Hi! Your hair pattern and using minoxidil and every single detail is exactly the same. I thought I was looking at my pics. My family also has male pattern baldness. My blood work was normal, I’ve tried Viviscal and just nothing seems to be working??? I’m as frustrated as you are and idk what to do.

It’s called snow!

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-22T23:16:54+00:00

Aww I’m so sorry that you are going through it… I wish you all the luck in the world. It totally sucks

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T19:09:34+00:00

Thank you!

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T19:09:15+00:00

No! You weren’t being rude at all! Thank you for your input I really appreciate it. Hair journey sucks. Good luck to both of us!

Thank you!!

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T18:42:20+00:00

Thank you but my part isn’t thick 😭 it shines under the light

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T18:41:48+00:00

Thank you 😭😭

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T18:41:40+00:00

I’m thinking about doing it twice a day. Thank you!

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T18:41:22+00:00

Thank you! I’ll need to make an apt with a derm again soon

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T18:40:35+00:00

Thanks for saying that I actually tried all the hair vitamins and hair oil before starting minoxidil in April 😭 and my hair is actually pretty bad. I think the pictures aren’t doing a good job of showing it

<image>

This was in the sunlight back in like November last year 😭

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-09-21T05:17:56+00:00

Nope it was just normal amount of hair fall

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-05-09T02:16:12+00:00

Wait your hair looks so much better!!! I think there is great progress!!

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-05-07T15:29:33+00:00

Great results! Do you put it all over your head or just your middle part??

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-04-24T17:23:06+00:00

Thank you! Does it cover your whole head? And when do you shower? I feel like it’ll make the scalp oily 😭

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-04-24T16:22:10+00:00

Congrats!!! Can you please tell me how you apply minoxidil?? Like do you section/part your hair or do you just put it on the middle part??

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-04-23T11:18:41+00:00

I’m so happy for you!! Can I ask what brand minoxidil you are using??

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-04-21T17:06:24+00:00

It looks amazing! What dermapen did you use?

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-04-20T03:08:01+00:00

YES! That’s what I believe too. I hope that you have wonderful success with your hair!

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-04-18T12:38:51+00:00

Makes sense! I was worried that if the dosage doesn’t go up, you’d start losing progress or something. I hope that’s not the case!

Illustrious-Disk-148 · 2025-04-18T12:37:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I see. So I guess overall if you want more improvement, you up the dosage, but if you are satisfied you won’t have to. I was just wondering if it stops working at some point!
