Far, you may want to accept the side effects of minox for what they are. A face picture of Justin isn’t going to change anything or help in any way. Peace
Hi Guys.Hope everyone’s doing great today! Sorry,I thought it was obvious that I wasnt going to be showing my face on the forum.I havent shown my face in any of the sets of photos Ive taken. Best, J

Yo!
life could not be more miserable having to put minox on my hair and having the hair look like crap. I feel like a grease ball but still i’m soldering on. I don’t know how long I will keep this up but I’ll keep going.
Sometimes i really feel like i should be drinking the minox and putting myself out of my misery instead of putting it on my head.
I try to keep inspirational pictures of guys who regrew their hair.
Anyway I’m almost done with my first bottle of Kirkland minox 5%. My head has ‘drunk’ one bottle.
Hi Freddie, Whats new soldier? I have some advice that I hope might help you a bit. When keeping with your new,strict Rogain/Minox regimen,you should blindly aplly the solution while all the while never really thinking about it. NEVER sit there counting each hair that is or isnt there. NEVER stare in the mirror wondering if or if not your hair has gotten thicker. That is,until at least a year/year and a half goes by. Just keep applying the solution and move on with your regular day to day activities because if you sit there stressing,you wont make it okay? Remember,it took me a few years before I realized just how much my hair had changed. Hang in there Freddie. Hang in there EVERYONE. Best, J

well bro its ok if u dnt want to post face pics but u can atleast tell what is the condition of it now like when u said u shave all your face does it means ur all face hairs are as dark,thick,hard nd prominent like the beard of a man? Or they are not so thick and noticeable until a keen observation by any0ne? Well i m applying it 3 times a day and once i ll adjust with this then i ll also try 4 times maybe after a year. D0 u thnk 3 times ll help or i ll go with 4 times a day?
Hi Far4z, Glad you came back to post. Hope your doing okay. The tiny little (very little) facial hairs are just a bit darker and thicker than peach fuzz. Not a big deal but definitely DIFFERENT than just normal peachfuzz. It requires just a slight bit more shaving than I used to. Again,a small price to pay considering how depressed I was when I was balding/thinning. As for three times a day instead of four? Thats a GREAT way to start. You can always work your way up to four times a day LATER after youve done the 3 times per day routine for a while and get used to it. The most important thing that I’d like to address today is this- I didnt notice anything until a couple years into using the Minox four times a day. I hope we dont get a ton of people posting in like…two weeks,lol,saying dammit Justin2rue,Ive been applying this Minox religiously for 3 weeks IN A ROW now and im still losing my hair. Your advice sux Justin2rue!! My advice for anyone attempting the regimen I am on,SAVE YOUR MONEY if you think your going to see anything in 3 weeks or 3 months. You have to be in it for the long haul. Thats the ONLY reason I had success. I kept at it for years. If you guys can stick with the program that long,I BET some of you will have the same results as me! All the best and have a great day everyone.

Hey all just joined here a while ago, but have been an observer for a long time now.
Justin, how are you? I’ve been following your story regarding the success you’ve had with your regimen of applying minoxidil 4-5 times a day and I would like to share my theory as to why I believe your method may be working for you.
Have you heard of TRX2? Well it is supposedly a pottasium channel opener, and well, minoxidil is a pottasium channel opener as well. Some people speculate that minoxidil’s method of action may be through its pottasium channel opening properties. A potassium channel opener is a type of drug which facilitates ion transmission through potassium channels.
I believe that TRX2 in some fashion is doing exactly what you’re doing, only via oral ingestion. While you apply the minoxidil topically 4-5 times a day, TRX2 must be taken 3 times daily. I believe that since the compounds are carried through the blood stream, it is more powerful than your topical application.
Now, I’m not saying that TRX2 works, because like many others I am very skeptical…however, the fact that your method works could give reason for TRX2 to work. Some people on ‘thebaldtruth’ who have purchased and are using TRX2 say that they have noticed significant shed reduction and notice some fuzz in the frontal forelock region of the scalp…now this may be coincidence, but I guess we’ll just wait and see.
Anyway, cheers to your growth.
Hi Spider, Whats new? Glad you posted. Theres nothing wrong with trying a new hair product,but at 50 dollars per set of bottles,I BET that the TRX2 will be THE sexy product to try for the next few months,but will then fade quickly. I HIGHLY doubt its worth the money but again,if thats what floats your boaty,try it. I wont. Best regards, J
Hey Justin,
yea I’m surprised i’m still using minox. I’ve ‘downgraded’ lately to using it 1X a day but at double dosage. I will try to bump it back up to 2X a day with single dosage in the morning and double at night.
Since you have lots of hair, its probably a lot easier to apply it and have it not affect your look at all. But for a thinning person, its rather different.
Anyway I’m sticking with minox.
The Activ-M shampoo is $25 including shipping from Germany on Ebay. The tonic another $25. High probability of being snake oil but I figured I might try the shampoo since I shampoo my head daily anyway and it won’t be an inconvenience. I guess I’m just hoping for a miracle here throwing in everything and the kitchen sink to grow hair.
Hope you are doing allright.
Hi Freddie, Im glad youve posted once again bud! Hope your hangin in there and feelin okay. Good luck with the stuff you ordered bro. Im curious about it even though its prob snake oil. Theres always a chance that MAYBE itll work for you though! Keep us posted once you receive the new shampoo and tonic. I want the best for ya! Good luck, J

Once again I’m sitting here with minox on my head waiting for it to dry. Its almost a ritual to put the minox on, get on the computer and visit hairsite while it dries.
I’ve order the shampoo & tonic off ebay. I will keep you posted when it arrives and what it looks/smells like … and of course if i get anything out of using it. I wouldn’t change anything you are doing however if I were in your shoes. The results you have are perfect and there’s no point monkeying around with experimental treatments like me. So don’t stray far from your path.
Minox is too stressful to use in the morning as it makes my hair look like sh&t prior to going to work. So I hope to use this tonic in the morning and 2X the minox dosage at night - the latter I’m already doing.
So far I can’t say I’ve seen any benefit from minox - this being just the second month however. I’m still hopeful and will remain so until the 1 year mark.
I crushed up a finasteride tablet into powder and put it into the minox bottle and shook it up. It dissolved well. I figure getting a topical dose of finasteride while doing this minox thing couldn’t hurt.
I’m trying all kinds of crazy sh&t.
Hi guys, I had a question for any of you. I had a friend a while back try minoxidil and complained about some sexual sides. Ive been holding off in giving it a try because of his experience.
Justin, with the increased dosage you are taking, do you or have you experienced any side like this or anything actually???
Thanks
Hi Fastinjun and Freddie, Whats new? There have been ZERO sexual side effects when it comes to my Minox regimen at ANY dosage. I doubt its actually Minox thats actually EVER causing ANY sorta limpus-dickus. Have a great weekend and thanks for posting. J
I left you a message justin in the Activ-M thread since you were curious about the product.
Thanks Freddie, Ill go read it. I hope you are doing okay man. Good luck to you! . Best, J.
on my 4th minox bottle.
i need to order more of this sh&t off ebay soon.
so far i’m applying double dosage once a day at night.
update : almost finished my 4th bottle, ordered more bottles from ebay.
i’m sticking to the program so far. applying double dose to the front top and back of my head once every day after a shower. I rub it in and then TAP it in with my two fingers all over my scalp as the iranian poster arash was doing. that i assume gets the minox in through the skin more effectively.
4th bottle is finished, 4 more on order and should arrive shortly.
in the mean time i’m using minox foam 5%.

Sexual side effects from topical Rogaine? I never heard of such a thing.
I’ve been using topical minoxidil in one form or other since 1985, and other than a flaky scalp if I neglect to shampoo every day and greasy hair, no detectable side effects at all.
I swear, not only did my hair grow better, but my manhood seemed to get bigger, too.
I use to wear the women out. I was a regular Rasputin.
(Ah! Those were the days)
