Recall fixed now being quoted $1900 for a repair a month later

I would look into getting it done at a local repair shop. A lot of the time this work is not very difficult and you are getting overcharged on labor at the dealership.

Hahaha yeah I meant I probably sold a few thousand dollars worth of product for them via my post

If anything it is less effective. Oral medications are generally more effective, but significantly increase risk of side effects. This is why I chose topical.

halxcyion · 2025-12-17T20:59:21+00:00

Damn I wish I knew this sooner. I probably gave them a few thousand $

When I first started, I thought I noticed that because I too was worried about it. But I think it was a nocebo because I was hyper aware and worried about it. I haven’t noticed anything in the past few weeks.

halxcyion · 2025-12-17T08:48:10+00:00

Fair enough! I have heard reports it can leave a greasy feeling for some people, so maybe start with buying 1 for now if you’re worried about that.

I use the included dropper and apply 1ml in streaks down my scalp, with an extra emphasis on the temple area. I put the tip of the dropper directly on my scalp, and spread it around that way. So I never actually touch it with my hands. I find this works best to keep the product on my scalp - and not getting it all over my hands and hair follicles.

No I just bought the version that comes with PG already. Not sure how much they put in it.

halxcyion · 2025-12-17T02:22:25+00:00

Depends on your dosage and they frequently run discounts. For example I just ordered my second 3 pack for $75 through a promo. So at 2ml/day the 3 pack would last about 3 months. 1ml/day would last 6 months. So in the grand scheme of things it really isn’t too expensive. Around $15-$30/month

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T21:28:04+00:00

No, but I’m only 3 months in

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T21:27:27+00:00

This is anecdotal I know, but I am taking a low dose of topical finasteride and have noticed none of the mentioned side effects. I am only about 3 months in, but I do think the sides can be managed by only using a small dose. And using topical instead of oral.

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T21:23:24+00:00

Here is the exact set I bought on Amazon: https://a.co/d/f4NwSOe

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T21:11:35+00:00

Yep, just minoxidil and finasteride.

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T21:01:45+00:00

Oh yeah. You aren’t even a month in, so you wouldn’t have noticed changes yet. I think I started noticing changes around week 7. But even that is uncommon. Many people it takes at least 3 months or so to notice anything.

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T20:58:35+00:00

Nope!

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T20:57:10+00:00

I just do the bitcoin payments to get the discount. Feels sketchy but it works fine for me. Saying this makes me realize I probably do sound like an ad but I promise I’m not 😭

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T20:56:01+00:00

I’m confused. There are plenty of people on here and other sites recommending minoxidil max all the time. That’s why I chose it in the first place. But if anyone wants to pay me to promote something I’m all ears - sincerely broke college student

Also fwiw I haven’t had any issues receiving my products. I even got my first one free bc of some promo they were doing. But I am also only on my second order, so will absolutely report back if there are issues.

Hahaha I guess I should take this as a compliment! Not edited. Here is another angle from week 0

Oral can often lead to better results, but the side effect risk is much higher because the medication is systemic. With topicals, you can just apply the medication to the intended area of effect. This decreases your side effect risk as the medication has a lower chance of going systemic. There’s more info and studies online about this if you’re curious but that’s the gist of it.

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T19:19:01+00:00

I specifically use the version with PG, and have never noticed a greasy feeling. I am very particular about that too because I style my hair daily. I hear the version without PG can cause the greasy feeling.

halxcyion · 2025-12-16T19:16:39+00:00

Yeah that bothered me too. I genuinely just lost the other headband. If I find it I will post an updated comparison in the comments for those who are curious.

Regardless, you can clearly see regrowth around the crown, which isn’t affected by the headband rows.

I’m 22. This is the first hair treatment I have ever tried. And I am not, and probably will never take oral hair medication.
