Not getting a clear baseline estimate of the state of your hair. Guys this is such an easily avoidable mistake that can make all the difference in the world, not just if you take minoxidil. It applies to any hair loss treatment out there, be it medical or natural slash alternative or even a lifestyle change. And that is establishing a clear baseline, a record of your hair situation in the point in time just prior to starting treatment.

The easiest and most obvious way to do this is to take photographs of your scalp prior to starting treatment. Remember to take a note of the lighting you used or how you set up the camera, so that you can make future photographs directly comparable. Now photographs can be a bit ambiguous, especially in the early stages of treatment. So there are other tangible, objective measures you can take before starting. For example you can use a simple device known as a haircatcher. You plug this in the drain of your bathtub or shower, and it allows you to literally count the number of hairs you are lose every time you shower. Better yet, you can go to your dermatologist, who will administer some simple examinations and give you precise numerical figures of such things as the density of hair on certain scalp regions, the proportion of hairs that are in anagen vs. telogen and so on. Guys do it – your baseline is your beacon that you can always look back on to see how far along you’ve come.

1. Not having a baseline
2. Inconsistent use
3. Not following instructions
4. Quitting early
5. Relying on Minoxidil only

[SubjectiveFunny]

Took 3 months for me to see visible results on my hairline, 2 months for new growth on my beard. 4 months in, one side of my head definitely grows hair faster than the other, but it's all slowly coming together. Stuff works, legit.

[tomtomson]

1-4 are just some pretty basic points, and 5 is just to make you anxious and buy their products, the "underlying" problem is just genetics and has absolutely nothing to do with nutrient deficiency. You can eat and apply as much nutrients as you want, it wont keep your hair from falling, the only things that help so far are minoxidil and DHT blockers, maybe scalp massage might have a positive effect too. But nutrients wont do shit as long as youre not clearly deficient which should not happen with a "standard diet" in mordern countries.

[bethearl]

OMG!!! I put up with insane itching and dandruff all because I was using a dandruff shampoo. When I happened to switch to baby shampoo the problems was gone. It was a miracle.

[addysaw]

I've been taking it once nightly and it's working fine. Many studies to back up once a day usage too

[PunkNDisorderlyGamer]

I add half mg of Kirkland signature to my suavecito light hold pomade rub into the hair and scalp after a shower. Works well, plus it gives the pomade a slicker feel allowing to style easier.

[JulesLife]

Dude the half-life is over 20hrs so once a day is fine.

[AndrewDinca]

Im here at 21 y old balding slowly from age 1 with thin hair..using thicker shampos, massage my hair daily, eating healty and a healty life.. thinking to start minoxidil and wasting ton on money year and year for this meanwhile some idiot barealy eat at 2 days, smoke, sleep like shit, using 2$shampoo and still have thick and no receding hairline:)
Kinda hurt
Wish everyone to have hair and to choose what to do with it.. not be cursed to be bald when u dont want to look older and like shit without hair

[jimothyasteward]

Once a day fine I do it once and it works just fine

[PsychicKyleMcNeil]

So I would say, as a cosmetologist- minoxidil is for men who have NORMAL, or slightly thinning hair. You would use it 3-5 times a week at night, by brushing it softly across your scalp after a warm shower (soft and absorbant follicles) and that’s it.

Wait like 1-3 months and you will see longer thicker hair for sure.

It’s not a miracle, if you’re going bald it won’t help you.
It won’t regrow hair either that’s been lost for a while. It’s better used as a prevention, / hair thickening growth serum.


Lastly, don’t use some nasty 15 in 1 axe mens product when doing this. You need a proper moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or else you WILL GET DANDRUFF

Period - it’s common sense but hopefully this helps

[robjd]

I’m only doing once a day before I go to work. A guy had his two cats die from exposure sitting on his pillow. I’m not taking any chance having it overnight on my pillow. A small amount on a cats paw can kill it.

[beyourselftv]

Minoxidil is like daily necessity .. keep it always but don’t abuse it

[BrandonChaunceyOfficial]

#1. Spilling it in the sink right after buying it

[porcu]

Studies have shown minimal difference between once a day and twice a day.

[remissiveslave]

I'm 1. Trying to get at least moderate results 2. Also trying to strengthen possible doner hair for a transplant. I'm thinking it would be wise to buzz my whole head, should make getting exfoliation more effectively applied.

[MDSHAMIM-spiy]

Could you tell me please? Which one is better for use minoxidil? And Does it work?
How many times can i use in a day?and how to use? Please tell me sir.

[babajunaid]

Who told you that is important to use two doses in 24 hours
One doesn't remains in the blood for 21 hours so there is no point to use two doses

[sanjogdewan]

Hello I have used minoxidile over 44 days...and increased my hair loss it's problem or normal?

[FrostyIgnition]

I didn’t like how he talked about scalp tension and diet being the cause, like yes this can accelerate it, but DIET DOES NOT CAUSE HAIRLOSS. It’s genetics and dht, I know he knows this but I hate when people say this, no matter how healthy people try and be the hair will still fall out, people need to stop saying this

[mohammedsrivastava]

My dermatologist says once a day is enough...twice won't be any better
