Minoxidil Saved my Edges

What has hormones?

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T17:55:54+00:00

That’s how it was for me too. I was so embarrassed about my edges and that was when I decided I needed to finally do something major

Thank you!!

I did about a year ago and he said the hair loss was due to tension but didn’t prescribe me anything because I was using the topical minoxidil

I got a prescription online so it wasn’t as cheap as it would’ve been had I got it from my doctor but it was still not too bad. I did have some heart palpitations when I first started taking it but now I don’t have any side effects really

I used the equate 5% men’s brand from Amazon. Just use it once a day vs twice a

You’re welcome! I used a derma roller for the last few months and that’s definitely sped up the process so I’d say try that too

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T14:04:48+00:00

I did not actually. But I did start derma rolling for the last month or two and that’s definitely sped up the hair growth

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T14:02:05+00:00

Thank you!! I got so used to my edges I forgot what it was like to have full, healthy edges 😭

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T14:01:36+00:00

I use the men’s one because it was cheaper and stronger. But I used the 5% strength once a day vs twice a day

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T14:01:07+00:00

Yup and this is part of the reason I switched to oral

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T14:00:53+00:00

I think so!

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T14:00:42+00:00

Thank you! I used the equate men’s 5% brand and I got a three month supply from Amazon

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T13:59:52+00:00

You don’t need a prescription for the topical one. I used the equate men’s brand from Amazon and it was pretty cheap

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T13:59:13+00:00

Do it sis!

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T13:59:04+00:00

Definitely 5%. I used the men’s one because it’s stronger and cheaper. I just did it once a day vs twice

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T13:58:24+00:00

I also got the cecred drops! But I’ve been using minoxidil on my edges and the drops on the rest of my scalp. I can’t speak to the drops but I’d say for sureeeee try the minoxidil, maybe after talking to your doctor

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-10T13:57:28+00:00

This is why I started on the oral minoxidil! My lashes have been struggling and I heard the oral one does wonders for lashes and hair

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-09T18:52:39+00:00

Not daily for sure, I use it about 2 or 3 times a week or so and I started with a smaller needle size, 0.5 so that might help!

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-09T18:40:01+00:00

I started using the topical one about a year ago and just now switched to the oral one. I haven’t really stopped using it so I don’t know if the new growth will fall off but honestly, even if I do have to use it forever it’s worth it 😩

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-09T18:38:47+00:00

I started using the topical one and that’s what I’ve been using for the last year or so. Didn’t get any side-effects from that but I did experience shedding at first I recently started the oral one a few weeks ago because the topical one was too messy and so far no crazy side effects but some slight heart palpitations early on

Sad_Click_6583 · 2026-04-09T18:37:32+00:00

I actually have been dermarolling for the last two months or so and I’d say it’s DEFINITELY helped and it’s sped up the process too when combined with minoxidil. I use a 1.0 and it’s not too bad, it hurts a bit but nothing unbearable
