» » » » » » All of the pix above are of my normally styled,dry hair with
» "Got
» » 21
» » » B
» » » » » » Glue" Hair Gel. My scalp is positioned apr. eight inches away
» from
» » » » » » flourescent office overhead lighting. All these pix were shot
» with
» » » my
» » » » » » cellphone on January 22nd 2011. To answer TryingTwo's questions-
» » » When
» » » » I
» » » » » » first started losing my hair back in early 2000,my thinning was
» » » » confined
» » » » » to
» » » » » » just the very front hairline. However ,by 2004 my loss was over
» » the
» » » » » entire
» » » » » » front AND vertex of my head. I began using Rogaine in I think
» » » February
» » » » » of
» » » » » » 2000 at two times a day. I kept that exact regimen amount until
» » late
» » » » » 2004
» » » » » » when I got so dissapointed from it not working,that I completely
» » » » STOPPED
» » » » » » Rogaine for several months. Then,sometime in early 2005,I began
» to
» » » » » become
» » » » » » so mad that Rogaine didnt work,that I went back on at double the
» » » » normal
» » » » » » dosage almost in spite of my self. lol. Kinda a strange reason,I
» » » know.
» » » » I
» » » » » » sorta demanded that Rogaine work for me! lol. I wasnt going to
» » take
» » » » » defeat.
» » » » » » My decision to double up on generic Minox was eased since I knew
» » » that
» » » » » » Costco was offering the Kirkland Signature brand at rediculously
» » low
» » » » » bulk
» » » » » » prices! 2005,2006,2007,and 2008 came and went on my new regimen.
» » » Those
» » » » » were
» » » » » » the darkest years of my life......... Nothing "seemed" to be
» » » working.
» » » » » Its
» » » » » » hard to think of why I didnt stop taking the Minox considering
» how
» » » » » » depressed I was. Part of me was stubborn,the other part was that
» I
» » » was
» » » » » » definetly afraid that if I were to give up my regimen,I would
» lose
» » » » even
» » » » » » more hair and be TOTALLY bald within a year. I didnt want that.
» » Its
» » » » » funny,I
» » » » » » was SO depressed that I didnt take it seriously when men and
» » » » » women,family
» » » » » » and strangers alike began making nice comments in regards to my
» » » » "thick"
» » » » » » hair. I completely blew the comments off. Finally around 2009
» » » » » roughly,thats
» » » » » » when I think it hit me. One day it hit me rather swiftly after
» » » » stepping
» » » » » » outa the shower with my hair soak and wet. I looked in the
» mirror
» » » with
» » » » » the
» » » » » » yucky harsh overhead lighting . Even with wet hair,even with bad
» » » » » light,my
» » » » » » hair was......full again. All those people that I thought were
» » just
» » » » » being
» » » » » » polite,I knew then that it ws true. My stubbornness actually
» » worked.
» » » » » Then
» » » » » » from 2009 until the end of 2010,I just kept monitoring how thick
» » my
» » » » hair
» » » » » » had become and whether or not I was having any serious sheds. I
» » was
» » » » also
» » » » » » waiting to see If maybe I was wrong but it was clear,my hair was
» » » » pretty
» » » » » » much back to normal,the way it had been years ago in my
» » twenties(im
» » » » now
» » » » » » 37). I didnt want to come to Hairsite.com and post anything on
» the
» » » » » Forums
» » » » » » until I was DEAD SURE. I didnt want to be posting false info and
» » let
» » » » so
» » » » » » many people down. I had been through my rough share of let-downs
» » by
» » » » » crack
» » » » » » pot's posting bogus success stories and pix here. I hope my
» » » » » recollections
» » » » » » and pictures have aided at least some of you. There is HOPE. Not
» » for
» » » » » » everyone,but at least some!!! All the best guys. Warmest

» » » » » It's been awhile since this thread was so popular! I tried
» justin's
» » » » method
» » » » » of using minox 4-5 times a day as soon as he posted it back in
» » » december
» » » » of
» » » » » 2010 I believe it was. I want everybody to know that for the
» first
» » 5
» » » » » months it did not work for me at all. I saw no gains. When I
» added
» » » emu
» » » » » oil to 3 out of 4 daily minox applications, my hair thickness went
» » » thru
» » » » the
» » » » » roof. So for those of you who tried this method but it did not
» » work-
» » » » you
» » » » » may want to try emu oil in addition because that definitely did
» the
» » » » trick
» » » » » for me. Everybody is different so I guess I just needed the extra
» » emu
» » » » kick
» » » » » to power the increase minox applications. 4 times a day can most
» » » » » absolutely work!
» » » »
» » » »
» » » » hi justin i was wondering are you using 2ml in mornings and 2ml at
» » night
» » » » and is that the way you started and have you used rogaine foam? and
» » the
» » » » greasy kirkland do you make sure its fully massaged in because when
» i
» » » used
» » » » rogaine it was staying on my scalp like putting vasoline on it and
» » could
» » » » not wait to wash it off also made hair look thinner so i am confused
» » to
» » » your success.
» » »
» » » Hi Tim, obviously I'm not Justin but I can give you a little help I
» » think.
» » » I use minox 4 times a day- 1 application at 7 am, 2nd application
» (with
» » » emu) at 5 pm, 3rd application (with emu) at 9:30 pm and 4th
» application
» » » (with emu) at 2-3 am. I believe the applications need to be spaced
» out
» » as
» » » I'm pretty sure Justin does this also. The idea is to hit the scalp
» » » several times a day so we are getting a consistent new dose throughout
» a
» » 24
» » » hour period. I use only Kirkland, however, if you want to avoid the
» » greasy
» » » aspect of Kirkland, apply the minox while the hair is still damp after
» a
» » » shower. Let it dry for a half hour to 45 minutes or as long as
» possible
» » » and then comb through it and your hair should be totally dry. At
» night
» » I
» » » wear a hat because of course emu oil mixed with minox is sort of a
» mess,
» » » wearing a hat eliminates any headache from that. Good luck, I look
» » forward
» » » to Justin's reply as well
» » »
» » »
» » »
» » »
» » »
» » » » your success?
» »
» » many thanks trying why do you not use minox foam for one its not greasy
» and
» » if you spray it into a cap you can melt it to liquid and apply it with a
» » 1ml dropper or syringe,also you do not get a itchy scalp.
»
»
» I use folligen liquid every other day so I don't have an itchy scalp.
» Since I use emu oil three times a day, I know those times my hair will be
» greasy anyway even with using the foam. And since I apply kirkland minox
» on a damp head, my hair is totally dry during the day. These factors plus
» the cost make foam unnecessary in my situation. Also, I've heard alot
» about minox causing dark circles under the eyes. I don't have dark circles
» and I want to keep it that way so I figure just keep things the same. Who
» knows, everybody is different, maybe foam would cause me having dark
» circles. I have no reason to risk it because everything I do now works
» great.
hi justin and trying have you heard of new capillogain its supposed to work better than minox.
