You have such an amazing voice. I could listen for hours.

Minox works everywhere on the scalp, they only say that on the box cuz when they first launched the product in the 80’s/90’s they only did officially study groups focused on the crown areas. And u don’t have to apply it twice, only once, this is a cash grab from the product seller. One application applied to the scalp lives in the scalp between 18-22 hrs so once a day application is fine!

During almost a year I was under Proscar's treatment, my crown became thicker again (not quite much the hairline). When my urologist removed it because it turned out that I didn't have hyperplasia, my crown became thinner again after +4 months. Now I know that is the same compound as Finasteride.

an honest review bro 🔥🔥

Make sure to take your saw palmetto also. Good for the prostate.

Finasteride is also a powerful product that one can use! It blocks DHT receptors, which are essentially the cause of male pattern baldness. While minoxidil regrows hair, finasteride is helpful as it makes sure your hair doesn't get worse (it also regrows hair for around 2/3 of users)! It does have side effects on a small proportion of users' reproductive health, so that is something important to consider. Finasteride and minoxidil are often considered a power couple to combat hair loss!

What worked for me was, Collagen (hydrolyzed bovine) everyday, Taoist soap 2 times a week, Nettle leaf tea everyday, and scalp massage everyday.

Mmm while minoxidil does work the efficacy of minoxidil starts to decline with time as well since it’s a vasodilator and vessels forget how to dilate by themselves to a certain amount of time, no ones gets rid of balding out of nowhere (even with medications) theres a lot of tools you can use to only prevent it from getting worse but it’s a lifetime condition, cleaning your diet, reducing stress overall, good quality sleep, exercise, all this helps in preventing androgenic alopecia or at least mitigate some of it.

Minoxidil 5% drop w/v ,derma rolling 1.5mm once a week, take vitamins like biotin,saw palmetto once a day , shampoo and conditioner shown in this video, filtered water in the shower maybe , exercise! Yeah it's too much but definitely the only way to win hairloss or reverse it

Great personality you have. Effortlessly watchable. I'm thinning and using minox/fin topical for 3 months. No change yet. BTW what's the camera you are using ?

DANG man you totally reversed my perspective on taking this because I was feeling kind of bummed about having to do this for the rest of my life. But I eat, brush my teeth, wash my hands, and apply lotion every day. So why not add minoxidil as well? I'm also gonna add Dermarolling as well😎👍.

Oh great tips dude BTW..... i used biotin for a month and i felt a change in my hair but this time I'm thinking of taking biotin+collagen supplements. Also I've never heard of this minoxidel but I'm thinking to get it and give it a go

Thanks for the short but informative video! I just start using minoxidil

Hello yea what a great comeback 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Steveeeeennnnnnnnnnn! Almost didn’t recognize the rebrand

Also did you wash your hair everyday? Cause minoxidil would leave white stuff on my hair, maybe I applied too much but that’s what happened to me

Does that Finasteride product have Titanium Dioxide (E171) in it? Because that ingredient is widely used and unfortunately it is highly cancerogenic and stays in human body. Hair is important, but cancer is a bigger problem. Both Propecia and Proscar have titanium dioxide (E 171) in them unfortunately. I'm just trying to find a finasteride that doesn't have Titanium Dioxide (E171) in it. Thanks

Im about to be 40 and just now noticed thinning so I am doing reaserch. I guess its not bad to have to do it the rest of my life starting at 40. I got away with it this long. Feel sorry for so many guys going thru this in their 20's and early 30's. Thanks for the vid.

This was a good vid! Liked

To prevent digestive issues it is best not to drink cold water first thing in the morning. A warm beverage is a easier on the system. 😉👍🏻

FYI they say that Peppermint oil works as good as Minoxidil

Hey ! I have one question so do u shampoo your hair on a daily basis ? As u apply minoxidil on a regular basis your scalp and hair definitely gets oily right?

Bro...I really respect your openness and honest review without any fear. Most important - you are one of them who 'actually' and 'literally' implements on yourself and then give reviews. Looking for more valuable videos. 👍

Thank you so much for this video it really encouraged me to try out minoxidil. I'm 19 and I have the same thinning as you did before. I am already a pretty insecure guy and losing my hair is not helping it. Hopefully I get the same results as you did. Again, thank you so much for the video. Oh and did you have a shedding phase when you first started out?

I would recommend getting on finasteride as well. Minoxidil doesn’t handle the underlying cause of balding which finasteride can help with. People take it topically now as well instead of taking it orally.

Ps- would've been interesting if you'd said how long you tried the oils for before you gave up....

I want to ask the ideal time to use the dermaroller in combination with minoxidil, you have to use the dermaroller first and how many hours does it take to then use the minoxidil or after using the dermaroller can you immediately use minoxidil...?? please answer

Me and My Brother's Hair Growth Success journey, we did the following: 1. Stinging Nettle Tea to detox the liver from hormone residue 2. Taoist soap on the scalp 2x a day to stop inflammation and restore hair growth 3. Collagen 2x a day, 2 large tablespoons (bovine collagen, hydrolysed) 4. Scalp Massage everyday for at least 15 to 20 minutes with finger tips (works better then minoxidil). It did a similar effect on my brothers hair as yours, and works even better for women as we don't have the hormones issue the way men do for genetic hair loss. Thank you for sharing yours, i guess ours are pretty similar regimens.

I don't know English but I can understand it in writing, what are the requirements for hair?

My hair started to regrow. I could not believe it-just from my shampoo, small new baby hairs started to grow. However, I had a lot of stress over a loss last year and a half, which caused DHT and oxidative stress to attack my hair. I created a shampoo with castor oil, vitamin E, black seed oil, and rosemary oil, using a bio shampoo as the base. If possible, I use one with caffeine, but that is not mandatory! Now I made my own serum, which contains pumpkin seed oil separately (1ml - 1.5ml) and a mix of rosemary oil, vitamin E, black seed oil, and castor oil, plus melatonin and vitamin D3 mixed together. I have been using this for the last 14 days at night. Additionally, I started using 5% minoxidil. I apply about 1ml or more because I have longer hair, so I use more of it. I apply it before sleep and wait for it to soak into the skin, then I apply my oil serums. Before that, I shower and let the shampoo soak for 5 minutes. I shower twice a day. For the last 3 days, I have started using minoxidil during the day and at night because I am home, so it's not a problem for me, but normally I use it just at night. My hairline has more hair, and in the middle of my crown and the well-known spots of male pattern baldness are fuller-all of this in just 2 months. In addition, I take 500-600mg of saw palmetto, which I put into capsules myself. I also take collagen at night before going to bed and have started taking 10mg of biotin daily. The last three (saw palmetto, collagen, and biotin) are new, as is the serum with oils and the minoxidil. The baby hairs that grew were just from the shampoo I used for 6 months, unaware of minoxidil, which was a mistake. The results would have been better with all the other products and oils, but it still worked just with showering twice a day! Take care, everyone. My hair serum consists of 30 drops of rosemary oil, 17ml of vitamin E, 20ml of castor oil, and 20ml of black seed oil. I also add 20 drops of melatonin and 3 drops of vitamin D3 (5000 IU). As I mentioned, the pumpkin seed oil is separate, so I have two small bottles with pipettes.

You are right about the coffee in empty stomach

My hair were saved by Sesame oil, then a bald spot came then microneedling twice a week with Jamaican Black Castor oil, Sesame Oil and Rosemary Essential oil covered it in 7 months I guess.

Dude How to take collagen. Can you make a separate video of it?

I do Rogaine, Biotin, Saw Palmetto, Rosemary/Peppermint water spritz✅

Please clarify this to me... Suppose I am using minox continuously, is there any point where minox stops working...?

There are conflicting opinions abot mechanism by wich miox works. Some claim it is hormonal, others favour improved circulation theory. I have heard of amazing results by masage and vacuum hats conected to ordenary vacuum cleaner to draw blood to scalp.

You can only postpone balding, hopefully dramatically reduce its rate through meds. You cannot 100% the process, as androgens outside of DHT also affect it, and the meds may lose their efficacy over time. If anyone out there hopes to have some notable long-term success, a DHT blocker is the only way to go.

Wait until Minoxidil stops working. Have been on that side as well.

I don’t have balding genes but have bald spots from headphones (wore them excessively for years and years) I’m trying rogaine to fix it… hopefully I won’t have to use it forever

No finasteride? I watched this video back in December 2023 and started my hair loss routine. I’m on topical minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.25%. Seems to be working so far, I’m hoping for results to get even better.

Just need to understand the hormonal balances and building blocks of hair. Hair is a protein structure. So eat more protein based food (red meat, eggs, nuts, Jello, etc). Collagen and Gelatin are protein (amino acid building blocks). You want to avoid things that inhibit protein structures like carbs and sugar and increased level of cortisol (this is stress chemical that creates a by product call DHT from Testosterone - stress management). Dangers of Finasteride and Monoxidil, they will stop working after a few years of use since as you age, your body will become adapted and shift priorities (ie. Focus on important organs and hormones). But food will always be at the forefront. I'd focus on using organic oils like rosemary (rather than Monoxidil) and use Castor or Coconut oil as a carrier oil. There is studies comparing the effectiveness of rosemary oil vs. Monoxidil. Derma stamp to increase blood flow to the head. And avoid sugars and carbs as much as possible.

Interesting video, thank you!

Should consider yourself lucky you have the enzyme. It has been proven that people who don't respond to minoxidil lack a particular enzyme. I don't recall the name of it, but you can look it up.

minoxidil does have side effects after a while! I started to getting swollen fingers and headaches, it also reduces the production of natural collegen risulting in deep lines in the forehead and abnormal hair growth ie the length of arm hair and on the legs...

Hey, Idk if you reply to comments and if you’re still using Minoxidil. But i just wanted to know whether you experienced any trouble with your libido or experiencing any sort of ED which is what I’ve heard with using the product. Kind of on the brink of using it due to this reason.

thats not male pattern baldness its telogen effluvium which is just thinning of the hair which isfrom a ack of nutrients, stress and other things that may be occuring... if you have male pattern baldness its genetic and has to do with the dht levels attacking your hair follicles , which you have to get treatment for or take finasteride

Won't you keep losing hair over time unless you take finasteride?

How many times do you wash your hair in a week?

Does it work on your back ? I want a thick hairy back

Does minoxidil work on bald spot thanks I will do your steps to thick fuller hair 😉

oral minoxidil and finasteride bring back my confidence also

My heart goes crazy if i touch minoxidil. I dont know a way out of balding

Minoxidil even works on eyebrows. At least for me.

does it work for traction alopecia?

Yeah, I was waiting for you to speak on finasteride, but you didn’t. I just want to let you know that minoxidil only regrows the hair that was thinned and the quality went down four but it does not stop the root cause of balding, which is what finasteride is for so I would urge you as soon as possible to hop on finastride, as that is what helps the root cause in the stoppage of balding whereas minoxidil it’s kind of just a cover-up

Kindly name the collagen you bought ?

Many may know .... yet some may not. Minoxidil has a half life of 22 hrs.. . So it can be applied 1 time a day with not much of a difference.

1) Minoxidil reactivates hair follicles that have miniaturized, and re-grows them back. 2) Finasteride prevents hair from falling out your scalp. But only use the topical serum and not the tablets. Because the tablets have side effects that affect your sexual health. 3) derma rolling the scalp 0.55mm once a week Both of these serums, once a day will do wonders in a shorter amount of time

It's only for gents ha? Ladies can also use it ha bro?

Hi. When you noticed your crown balding or thinning, did you also noticed that your hairline was receding too?

how to fix young teenage hair receding and hair thinning problem without finasteried and minoxidil

Hi i just got a transplant 4 months agofrom turkey. They told me to take minoxodil and fin after a month.. its been 3 months but my hair is still shedding.. is it because of the minoxidil. Also i feel my transplanted hair keep shedding also .. very confusing

Arkadaşlar dökülme durdu, sadece 2 malzeme ile dökülmeyi durdurdum karanfil suyu ve biberiye yaği ..Günde 2 defa saclarimi taraklama yapıyorum ve saclarim şuan çok daha sağlıklı.

How do you apply Castro oil into ur hair? It’s very sticky and thick?

The half life of minoxidil is 18 hours so once a day is enough

Did you experience the shedding phase when you started minoxidil? (Before it started to regrow) I’ve been on finasteride on and off for about a year and went through a shedding phase with that. I’m noticing my crown shedding more though and want to to hop on minoxidil but really don’t want to go through another shedding phase.

which tea do you drink?

Aren't you worried about the health danger of applying Minoxidil forever? I think when people ask they are not referring to the inconvenience of always having to apply it but to the possible effects on long-term health.

Just want to give my two cents. I have used Minoxidil for years and yes it stops the balding but after a few years I developed hirsutism that appears to be permanent. Even though I did not put any on my face or body except my scalp, I developed a hairy body and even my face, not just a beard, but I mean hairs all the way to my eyes and a unibrow. I deal with it by shaving often but just know it is possible. I don't think a majority of men will face this but I did and so I give a warning. It is possible that you may become a werewolf with minoxidil. So watch for it and stop using it if you begin to notice your body becoming hairy, unless you want to look like a werewolf. The werewolf look turns most women off by the way.

I am allergic to minoxidil so what else can I use ?

No veo complicado el hecho de usarlo para siempre: usas pasta dental para siempre, usas desodorante para siempre, usas papel de baño siempre, te dichas siempre, entonces no le veo la complicacion

Bro i am using minoxidil from 2 months but i cant see any result my hair is shedding and i use once a day at night before sleeping i apply 3 hours before i go to sleep and when i will see the visible result and does minoxidil really works?

Some minoxidil will go systemic. That might be why you're seeing Benefits from other parts of your scalp.

Fin is better just one pill a day Minox doesn’t get rid of the problem entirely

Applying minoxidil once a day will show results?

Hi! Seeing that I have receding hairline, can I apply it to the front also, with the hope of seeing results? Shall presume it’s not just for the scalp (which I am also facing issues), but for areas of the head where hair has thickened, right?

Did you ask a doctor before using or you just bought it and used it?

Where do you get the collagen shampoo?

The best! 1. Fin 1,25 mg/day 2. Oral minox 2,5 mg twice/day 3. After the hair wash, use 1mm dermaroll once/week 4. After dermaroll, use Bioptron red light cause its speeds up the processes 5. Its not important but it is also very good, use dr. zapper machine and do the hair loss program 2-3 times a week

Rosemary oil makes your hair grow like crazy and rice water thickens hair

Stopped Minodil + finasteride 6 months ago, noticed hair loss on top of my head. Continual use is seemingly required to maintain hair as quitting leads to hair loss. Finasteride may have sexual side effects. Should I consult another doctor if I experience them?

I lost a lot of hair in 2021 (i think because of stress and vitamin deficiency but i'm not sure) a year ago i started some treatments with specific shampoos and lotions, and started taking supplements some months ago. It's taking some time because they're all natural products but my hair is growing back, and i think rosemary oil is a valid solution too, i saw from some studies that make a comparison even with minoxidil, with the same results in most part of the cases

Hey @vlogish i have also been suffering from hair loss near my crown area after covid vaccination. My family especially my mother & father also suffered. I went to dermatologist & had some tests on haemoglobin, vitamin d & b12 levels. They were low & i started taking supplements for them ( still taking). My hairs shed out in high number but i have seen small hairs coming back everytime. Although they are thinner & area is less denser now but they come back. I don't know if this is the process of hairloss or some telogen effivium because it's been happening for 3 years now. I have applied onion juice,eggs etc in the past but now i only apply coconut oil with 10 drops of rosemary oil in 1-2 weeks. If you know something that can help me please share it.

Nice job but something to consider: Minoxidil is a hair growth stimulant. Hair loss drugs fall into two classifications: 1) hair loss stimulants and 2) hair loss prevention or anti-DHT drugs. Minoxidil will give great results for many men, HOWEVER, if the cause of hair loss is not addressed, which is DHT, then eventually and not long after using it, hair growth stimulates like minoxidil will stop working because the rate at which new hairs being attacked by DHT and grow back lessons or diminishes. Think about it like running an IV for a blood transfusion while someone knives that patient in the thigh. Eventually the rate of blood loss will exceed the blood entering the body via the transfusion and they will bleed to death. Not the best analogy but one can get the picture. Your hair follicles are constantly being replaced and fewer grow back each cycle the longer they’re exposed to DHT. This is why Androgenic alopecia is a progressive disease that actually starts from puberty. But it’s so slow it isn’t noticeable in most men until they lose 40-60% of their hair and that’s usually by late twenties to early thirties for most men, or early twenties for men who have a very aggressive form of the disease and are more genetically sensitive to DHT. So unless Finasteride is taken, within a year or two or so one will notice hair loss again and the new hairs from minoxidil will begin to fall out as well along with their existing hairs because DHT has never been addressed. So best way to attack hair loss is with Finasteride and then maybe Minoxidil for most men. And despite all the fear mongering online, I wouldn’t be worried about side effects. Finasteride is one of the most well studied and popular drugs ever and the side effect profile is in the very low single digits. And contrary to popular online disinformation and belief, Testosterone, not DHT, is the primary sex hormone used in the body. DHT has no real importance after fetal development and maybe even after puberty.

Nice video, thanks for the information. How did you know that it was androgenetic alopecia and not something else? Do you have bald relatives?

nice man

What ?? It’s only for the crown ?? It also for other areas I’ve heard

3:55 ‘You 🤬 like that?’ 😏😏😏😏😏

I'm just 22 but my hair started lost

Heyy, can i use monoxidile without consulting doctor?

Man! I had the same problem and have got the same recovery. I have been taking dutasteride 0.5 mg with Minoxidil 5% and dermarolling twice a week....

Dont use minixodil without consulting doctor (dermatologist)

Has anyone here tried R89 for male pattern baldness?

Hello, im exacly in the same situation, my crown is thin, i have a pretty strong hair but that zone is thin and i can see my scalp in some pics...im gonna do 3 PRP sessions, starting next friday. Ive been taking vitamins pills so far.

Don't give such unsolicited advices, people might think its oke to use minoxidil. The hair growth was actually noticed as a side effect of minoxidil which was used for bp,and other heart problems in the first place. Everything comes with a price. There are long term side effects of minoxidil too, bp and other heart pblms

What about rosemary oil?

the thing abt minoxidil is you gotta stick with for life or you'll start balding again.

Did u have shedding phase and did u see results before or after three months?

Yo Steven! It’s been a while, I went through this too and also use Minoxidil and finasteride and it’s a night a day difference lol

Be careful about the potential heart problems minox causes. I got permanent chest pains from it
