Very straight forward and informative. Great stuff👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I use Rogaine and have the best way to apply - through trial and error - buy a metal demitasse cup and saucer and keep t in the freezer. When you take it out to apply the Minoxidil, put the plastic can cap inside the cup. When you spray the foam, it will blow up higher in the cap and you will find the very last of the foam will be as firm as the first. Easy and 100 percent of the time, the foam will stay firm and if you're like me, you'll use less to cover your target areas.

Love this, very informative. Thank you for your time.

[customSRoush]

I have heard/read that after using products like rogaine, hair loss will return. Is there a "maintenance" dose after 4-6 months? Like applying once a day instead of twice or so?

[GGR]

I had many doubts and the first video I opened was yours solving the most important ones. Thank you very much for the information.

[Thecolorblack]

So you have to use this forever basically you can’t stop after growth?

[davidaikman]

My biggest concern, after shedding, is the proper amount to use. Being a blood vessel medication, I don’t want complications.

[jdubs]

I only used half a cap of foam and I got dizziness and blurred vision. Becareful guys. I used the Rogaine foam 5%.

[Real_Matt]

Honestly bro, stop moving your head side to side like you're doing, it's really off putting, Just keep still.

[YoursCunningPanda]

Hey, you defined hypertension as when your blood pressure becomes too low, but it should be the opposite hypertension means blood pressure increases

[BoyDanny]

I was recommended this, and use it 2 daily. My big question is after applying it, do you have to put a cap???

[akshaythayyil]

I have sebo psoriasis condition. Can i use minoxidil for hair loss?

[kimmatias]

I have been using oral minoxidil 5mg for 3 weeks now and I've noticed more hairs falling out, is it normal? When will it possibly stop shedding?

[everymanisyourteacher]

Hi there, my question is how can minoxidil inhabits collagen formation and improve hair growth at the same time?

[gasperm]

if using liquid or foam minoxidil, is it necessary to cover the head while sleeping with a shower cap to keep it from rubbing off onto pillow?

[jayedwardsuk]

Hello there, I'm looking for any advice from other Minoxidil users. I recently started the Hims topical Fin+Min combo I'm only 8 days in but I think I had the onset of a chest infection coming on at the same time, It seems to be going around the UK atm.

The side effects from Minoxidil which I do feel I am experiencing actually also similar to the symptoms whilst dealing with a chest infection, so I'm slightly worried/ confused on what to do right now regarding continuing
the topical.

The last 2 nights my symptoms have been almost like sleep apnea like which I don't suffer with, or restrictive breathing when I try to sleep. As I'm on the cusp of falling asleep I immediately gasp for air in a panic this happened throughout the whole night. I wouldn't say heart palpitations. I did try propping my pillows up made no difference.

So, I'm wondering if perhaps the twice daily of the 5% Minoxidil is too much for me ? and whether i should adjust to one application a day " morning" or using my common sense lol and stopping it altogether until my chest has cleared and the antibiotics I am currently on have finished " 4 days worth".

Any info would be much appreciated
