Hello Comrades,
i used small amounts minox over almost a year (every few days one application).. u can see in my previous posts what i got after that time.. so i stopped using minox for over a month now (i just applied it once after 3 weeks or so where i started losing hairs and wanted to use minox again, but then i continued testing if all of the hairs are going to fall off).. so far i can say: - hairs do fall off (i had many non-terminal hairs, it was clear those are gonna fell off, look at the pics) - the longer u use minox, the slower they fell off - all the hairs get thinner with time, so i suppose even the hairs which were alsmost or terminal did also fall off - i didnt use minox over 6 weeks now and still have a noticable amount of hairs which didnt fell off - u must use minox always to maintain your growth - some maybe say (as previously) the hairs fell off only if they are not terminal.. i can say that i used minox some time very excessively (3-4 appllications a day, each over 1 ml) and i got alsmost all the new groth in a terminal-hairs-stage.. but they all fell off as i stopped using minox, even faster then this time because i didnt use minox more that 4-5 months that time conclusion: minox is nice, but we need something permanen!!  i started using minox again, im gonna make some pics so u can see what i have lost in tha past 6 weeks...
argh my skin hates me now ^^
gl to ohers and always inform us if you find minox alternatives -.- |

Hey all,
quick question--sorry if its been asked before but i've read through the first 50 or so pages of this post and havent run into it? Is there a risk of minox rubbing off and being absorbed by another person through skin-to-skin contact? I only ask because often my nightly application (face, chest) is followed by body contact, sex, etc and I'm concerned that my partner will absorb some of the minox. How long does it take for minox to absorb into the skin? is that clammy/sticky feeling following application the minox or just the alcohol carrier? Should I be worried about this problem? how long should i wait? |

I experienced almost the same story as StyloAbi's, nothing to start with (really nothing except 3 hair under my chin, 14 y/o teenager moustache),
Then I rubbed minox on my face and a lot of vellus hair started to grow, more and more thicker and darker as the experiment lasted. Then I stopped minoxidil whereas I had certainly very few terminal hair if I really had some... I was tired of applying it all the time, take care of facial contact with the others, and having a bright shiny skin just after the application. Sides effects were bad too: weight gain, water retention, I had a swollen face during the last months, probably due to the water retention... So, the hair started to thin and then to fall off. Disgusted I decided to come back to minox again, because I don't want to explain to my friends why I'm loosing my facial hair that they have all noticed I recently got... So to the newcomers who really think they will NEVER develop a decent beard, keep in mind the social consequences this experiment can bring towards your friends and other people you know... Minoxidil is kind of our best friend and worse ennemy at the same time... I wish it could be permanent.... |

I fully understand you, NicoLC. Taking care not to touch the treated area within 4 hours twice a day (given it's twice, it means 8 hours of your life
daily) is just too ANNOYING! you have to be careful when you brush your teeth, when you drink a soda, when you kiss someone, when someone kisses you, when you
eat,... huh a lot of things!
That's the worst part of this experiment, your life is not as "normal" and comfortable as before. What if your girl suddely wants to have sex? are you gonna say: "hey sweety, hold on, I have to wait for 4 hours because I applied minoxidil on my face" ?? (because of the kisses) That's screwed up! That's why I am getting tired of this and I'm also pondering if it's worth it. |

Well guys, to avoid all that I apply it in the morning and late at night, after I did ALL the things I was going to do, including any type of physical contact
with my wife, and for the rest of the activities, like eating, brushing my teeth, etc, I do it either well ahead of time of after minox is completely dry on my
face, I haven't had that much of a nuisance using it, but everybody is different...

Cult & others that may be interested. My latest research suggests that IGF 1 has a role to play in the development of hair follicles. |

well started back on the minox (equate brand) today. i tried the experiment a year or so ago and got a some results but ran out of money. so ill use the cheap
stuff for a while to build my tolerance up and then switch to either the 12.5% from Regrowth or the 15% from Perfect Hair Sol.
