I had great results so far
Update: I'm still using the liquid version however I've been alternating with the foam version for a few days at a time to give my scalp a break. I'm still using the Kirkland brand for the foam version. I noticed some shedding and have seen new growth in place hair had not been in years. It's been a slow crawl but, it's working. January 28th will be 4 months. This product rewards consistency so keep using it. I'm satisfied so far. Original post: Minoxidil is what it is: treatment. My hair follicles have responded well to the treatment so far after 2 months. The end of december of 2025 will be 3 months. Pictures of added are from the start and where I'm at now. I thought my follicles were dead, so I tried this product to see the extent of the hairloss in order to gauge how much my hair I would need to transplant. I have been fortunate enough to find out that my follicles were just dormant. My hair loss was likely a combination of stress and 14 years of wearing a hat in the military. To reiterate, minoxidil is simply a treatment, not a cure. It rewards consistency so if you stop using it, you'll lose your hair again in about 3-6 months. The upside is that it can be used indefinitely. After 12 months most dermatologist will have you go down to applying it once a day for maintenance. It takes a couple of minutes and I usually use it after showering. I did have some of the known side effects. I did have prominent itching and irritated skin on my scalp the for about 3 weeks. I also had really red, irritated, and flaky skin on my ears for about the same amount of time. Since minoxidil isn't something that I normally used, my skin was not happy about it. After using hyaluronic acid, snail mucin, and aloe vera with lidocaine; I was able to recover. I occasionally have an itchy scalp so, moisturize and you'll be fine. I did not go through a shedding process(dread shed) as some have mentioned. However, I didn't have much hair to lose so if I did shed I didn't notice it. Some things to consider when using it: get a good shampoo and conditioner without sulfates and use products that don't have propelene glycol. It will agitate the skin more. Ironically this product has that in it so buckle up. I also use a derma roller (.5mm) carefully once a month. My final thoughts on this product is that it works great for me. I can't speak for others but what I will say is that you have to be consistent. If your hair is thinning maybe give this try. If you have smooth and shiny bald spots go see a dermatologist first.
