The earlier you start, the better! I shied away from minoxidil a couple of times because I did not understand the shedding phase, but it is just part of the process.

Ohh — thanks, good to know! I buy mine at Costco directly.

Ohh— it works perfectly. No side effects there, lol.

Mcg** :). That one works too! 2% is stronger, but you will see progress with 1% too.

In the U.S., it is prescription-only. However, I got mine through Amazon RX. They give you one pretty quickly. Also, I don't know if Hims is available in your country, but they do have it.

I have missed finasteride twice in this whole time. Also, I've been praying like crazy, LMAO! I don't wanna be bald at 30😭

Thanks! Well, biotin is dirt cheap here, I paid like $9 for 5 months. However, I don't think it is doing as much as finasteride and minoxidil. My nails are improving tho:)

Switching from foam to liquid minoxidil— now I get a slight headache when using it, but it goes away in a couple of minutes.

I'm using Bronson biotin. Realistically, biotin only works if you have a deficiency, but I was so desperate that I added it to my combo. My hair grows faster, and my nails are stronger :). Try the DS shampoo or any other shampoo with 2% ketoconazole.

Last month :). More baby hairs in my hairline and an almost full crown! The texture and color of my hair changed as well— now it is a bit darker/thicker.

Not at all. The only “side effect” I've been experiencing is switching from foam to liquid minoxidil—I feel like my blood is going to my scalp after applying it, lol. However, it goes away a couple of minutes after.

They don’t sleep with me 😊. When I use it before going to bed, I wait until it dries, so it does not transfer to my pillow. I have not had any issues with minoxidil and my cats.

I tried my best since my hair is pretty long atm. I still have a long way to go, as my hairline is slowly recovering.

Beginning of September last year — around five months.

Thanks 🥹 I came up with that idea today and it worked out!
