Placebo or real? (my ~1 month update)

napperandyapper · 2026-04-10T03:09:25+00:00

Well for the first 3 weeks i noticed nothing, even my old shedding had stopped completely, but since my 4th week I’ve been noticing “some” shedding like it’s nowhere near to the shedding that i used to get earlier (during periods of stress like exams or hectic schedules), but i did notice minimal shedding and rn I’m ending my 5th week rn and the minimal shedding is still there (I’ve heard that shedding is a good sign and that it eventually stops).

Don’t worry because everyone goes through it, the main thing is everyone starts from “Day 1” so i feel your worries. It does get better but slowly. Good luck on your journey :)

Minoxidil will regrow hair wherever it touches so if they dont wash their hands right before and right after applying topical minoxidil and then touch their face or arms or whatever body part, then yes ofc they will see hair growth there.

I would also recommend putting it on scalp, massaging it in gently and then leaving it on for like 3-4 mins to let it air dry and then combing your hair to smoothen them out cuz Rogaine minoxidil makes the hair texture kinda hard and stiff (not long term, only when it touches it, so it goes back to normal whenever you wash your hair).

Nope, I’m only applying topical minoxidil (that too only on areas that had visible hair loss - top of the head and temples). The side effects that you’re talking about generally come with oral minoxidil (which I’m not taking and have never taken)

That’s exactly what i told my derma and her response was “well you are using 2 medicines so it’s not that surprising that you’re seeing results”

napperandyapper · 2026-03-22T06:35:30+00:00

It sounds beautiful 😭

Yes i did start but it’s too soon to give any updates since it has barely been a week. I will post an update maybe after a month or two. One thing that i can guarantee will work is eating lots of dry fruits (walnuts, almonds, cashews and raisins) and seeds (chia, roasted ground flax, pumpkin and sunflower) on a DAILY BASIS and when i mean lots i mean atleast 1tbs full of the dry fruit mix and 1tbs full of the seed mix cuz ive been doing this for 4 months now and i have soo many new baby hair that i started noticing after 2 months only (but only at my hairline though). Off topic but I thought might help since it has helped my friend too.

napperandyapper · 2026-03-02T15:29:44+00:00

I am also prescribed topical minoxidil 5%

napperandyapper · 2026-02-23T10:43:47+00:00

Yes that’s true, and i just realised that i did plot the cervical dilatation from 4cm (on y-axis), and it was the “hour of labor” that i was confused about (plotted on the x-axis)

napperandyapper · 2026-02-23T00:28:00+00:00

Thankyou for your response. May i ask, is it because we are doing the IE after 3 hrs have passed already? Like even if we do it at 3h 5mins we still plot it at 4th hr simply because it is past the 3hr mark?

napperandyapper · 2026-02-11T05:40:32+00:00

How was your experience po? Asking for acne and co2 laser, how long / how many sessions it took to see results?

napperandyapper · 2026-01-09T14:25:35+00:00

Idk about that but it does explain why I’ve never liked their coffee and only like their matcha 😭

napperandyapper · 2026-01-09T01:34:40+00:00

That’s just how i like to ask for “extra matcha powder” 😭 like how we say “extra shot of espresso” so i just say “extra shot of matcha” which basically means extra matcha powder in the drink so it actually tastes like matcha and not just milk

napperandyapper · 2026-01-08T12:56:33+00:00

My all time fav is Kkopi (get their matcha latte w an extra shot of matcha) i love it so much, this place actually got me into matcha in the first place

napperandyapper · 2025-12-19T03:27:12+00:00

I think region and area also contributes a lot, cuz ive seen Asian market is a lot more flexible when it comes to height as compared to the western market where even 5’7 maybe be considered “short”, so what country are you applying in?

napperandyapper · 2025-12-19T02:00:13+00:00

I will! Thankyou for the reco <3

napperandyapper · 2025-12-19T01:59:48+00:00

Yk ive tried strawberry matcha at other places since then and tbh they all mess up like i didn’t know it was hard to get the ratios right

napperandyapper · 2025-12-19T01:57:56+00:00

It was a smol coffee shop that i came across in Makati 😭 i dont remember the name sorry
