Hey guys,
I have had pretty bad hair loss around 5 months ago so I went to the doctor and he put me on Minoxidil. I've been using it for around 4 1/2 months now twice a day. It works fine but I have read about the hair getting used to it if you put it on twice a day everyday. The way to go would be 3 weeks on / 1 week off.
My questions now are:
1.) First of all, if I switch to 3 weeks on / 1 week off, would I apply Minoxidil twice a day for those 3 weeks, or just once a day?
2.) How do I safely reduce the minoxidil usage to 3 weeks on, 1 week off? As said before I've been using it for around 4 1/2 months twice a day. I think it wouldn't be a good idea to just promptly go down to 3 weeks on/1 off. Right?
Thank you in advance!
