Here is my testimony. I started Oral minoxidil (6 drops of kirkland minoxidil in the morning) in May 2019 (First picture) because I was scary of hairloss even if it wasn't too bad. Im 21
So I had a huge shedding first month but then guys, it was incredible, I passed from 80 hairs/day to 5/hairs and i'm not lying. My hair was thicker than ever I was getting regrowth everywhere.
I can say that I had body hair growth, even my mom told me that I was getting hairy wtf. I didn't stop until 6 month because I had to muche fatigue and darck circles (October 2019), I have still no big hairloss until these days like 20/day (more than when I was on minoxidil) because the hairs that growed are in the terminal phase but I maybe should get back on treatment in my life, as my dad doesn't have a lot for hairs.
Good luck

Here you can only see my hairline, but the whole density is now better than ever, even on the sides, on the back, on the vertex, I can't really see my scalp now, before it was a complex. The pictures are not the best ones but the little hairs are grown now.
Also don't think I'm stupid, I compt the number of drops to make 1ml in my graduette pipette and it was around 40 (I did 10 counts to be sure
and it was the average)
As I know that there is 50mg in 1ml, 6 drops would make 8mg. And it worked.

Women can avoid that ‘ageing’ by going on HRT
Those results are great, thank you for sharing your experience. How do you know if you’re going through a shed? I never really lose hair as the days go by, but since starting minoxidil, a lot of hairs have been shedding when I wash my hair.
Did you mix it into water, or did you just drop it down your throat? In my pipette (it’s that kind of plastic pipette you would use in high school science experiments), there are 47 drops, so I have been using 4 drops, but I’m not quite sure how much exact MG that is equivalent to.
Ageing like milk? I don’t have a lack of sex hormones, therefore that won’t happen. Women age ‘rapidly’ due to the menopause, and that can be avoided by using HRT.
Men have thicker skin (meaning they create deeper wrinkles), and a significantly lower likelihood of using sunscreen, or other skincare actives such as retinoids. In fact, males would probably be more likely to use retinoids and then not not use sunscreen, which is a recipe for disaster.
No, they don’t. A decrease in collagen happens due to the menopause, which is rapid, hence why they experience faster ageing than males when they don’t use HRT. Men have a slow decline of testosterone as they age, which means they age slower than women. Both hormones can be replaced, but one of them causes baldness and acne, and one doesn’t. Testosterone is a natural male hormone, it’s somewhat good for the body and bad for the appearance. I don’t have to cope because my testosterone is depleted and there’s nothing you can do about it

Ithink you know when you are into a shed when you see that the loss isn't normal, and ou loose every type of hairs.
I passed from 50 to almost 100 hairs/day the first month but you know what ? I was happy, no stress, I stop to count and I was feeling that the treatment was working. Don't be obsessive. And in two weeks the hair loss stopped and I could live a life without thinking about hairs.
Maybe the shed could continue for 1 month or a bit more so don't panic and try to relax, if you just go with the point that everything get better soon it just will. Also when you start this treatment, it is betterk to do it for 7 month (bcause of the vasodillatation the hairs will become in a terminal phase) then you can stop and do a pause for 5 month and then you start again. You continue year by year like that and I don't think you will have too much problems as your body still react after the pause.
So when I was doing it, I found that the better was to drop it in a normal glass of water. But the density of minoxidil is higher so when you finish it, you put water again in the glass and you drink fast so you sure that there is no more minoxidil in the glass. I think the morning is better.
Just do an average of 10 counts of drops you have in 1ml of your pipette (the more counts you do the more precision you have). We should have 50mg in 1ml of minoxidil (Kirkland) then you can do a simple division.
The thing is yes we never know the amount of minoxidil we take every day ....
But don't take more than 8mg (in drops) so you not go over 10mg. I think 6mg would be good.
In mine, 1mg would be 1 drops.
There's a reason this stuff is so hard to get. Hair places like Bosley etc...know the effect of oral Minoxidil and know it will regrow hair on anybody's head. It's way more potent than the topical stuff. There is a dude somewhere on of of these hair loss forums who literally looks like a werewolf. He was taking 10mg of oral minoxidil for a few months and that dude's hair starting sprouting everywhere. He even had hair on his forehead.
Just lower your dosage. You don't have to take it everyday. My buddy takes it 3 times a week and that's it. It stays in your system for 30 days and is active for 3-4 days. This is what a hair specialist told my buddy. The lower dosage helps with the side effects people are getting.
My buddy starting drinking the topical today. Basically the bottles says 12 sprays is equal to 2mg. He does 6 spray's in the morning and 6 at night. He spray's it right in his mouth and under the tongue. He said it tastes like a bad vodka lol.As long as it absorbs, that’s fine. At the end of the day, you can believe what you want to believe, but that doesn’t make it true. Similar to how you believe dutasteride is a castration drug, it doesn’t make it true. Who said I’m comparing topical and oral minoxidil? I’m saying that it can’t be contaminated because it still goes systematic, and that can cause issues if contaminated. And, it’s not like Kirkland is owned by some shady company, it’s owned by Costco, and I am sure Costco don’t want a lawsuit if it’s contaminated.
Bridge has never said he’s not into women, he is in a relationship with a woman. He has never said he doesn’t need his penis, either. I have read every single page of his thread, and I’m well aware of what he has said.
You are a compulsive liar who is attempting to manipulate people into being bald, but you are not fooling anyone. And, I don’t need to ‘drag anyone’ into drinking topical minoxidil, since people have their own minds and can make their own decisions.

HRT plus oral min plus microneedling once a week might just restore anyone's hair but it has for me, at least. The hypertrichosis apparently is common but highly unusual to the point of antydhtor's vampire-like hairline and widow's peak. 25mg daily/50ml daily of oral usage of topical is what I am currently testing. It's made my beard much scratchier although not really visible. I continue with laser removal on my face and most of the rest is gone. I still have to depilate stray ones on my legs but my hypertrichosis seems totally worth it for a chance at full restoration. I plan to go down to maybe 5mg daily as maintenance at some point.
