Miss My Volume Enhancing (alcohol based) Topicals

[hair_tomorrow]

Since I went to spectral dnc 2x daily, I dropped minoxidil liquid, ozbrew, & super zix w/ azaelic acid.

My glitch now, is that as much as a pain liquid minoxidil was - the alcohol kinda stipped my hair in a good way - giving it more body.

I'm sort of tempted to add Lee's 5% minoxidil into my regimen after I get into work. But . . . probably not a good idea w/ the 2 doses of spectral.

Maybe a spritzing of witch hazel somewhere along the line? Nahh - might be too stinky.

spironolactone 2%? Nahh - didn't help the first time around.

Never mind. :roll:

The perfect solution to this problem is to do what I do: Use the foam in the morning because it makes your hair look great - its like a bodifying mousse. Continue to use the spectral at night. You'll be golden.

wait so you guys think its a bad idea to use rogaine foam morning and night? Is it better to use the foam in the morning and a higher dose of minoxidil at night or something like spectral dnc ?

... Continue to use the spectral at night. You'll be golden.

hmmm - I've always wanted to be golden

as far as spectral being better than foam or vice-versa, I think the jury's still out on that one. I did a poll on that vey question, to which no-one responded (you bastards

IMHO, I'd think spectal might be a bit more powerful, but, for the most part (except for all the shedding threads) foam users seem quite content.

A lot of guys only go w/ specrtal 1x daily - mostly I think due to the expense.

I might give the foam a shot though. My hair needs something during the day to hold it all together.

just a little something to share . . .

didn't have to go to work today.

Last night around 9pm I applied my 2nd DNC Spectral application and then passed out on the couch watching "Supernatural" so I didn't do my before bed applications of tricomin and emu oil.

This morning when I got up (didn't shower or shampoo yet) I applied my morning application of DNC Spectral and my hair looks great. Full and wavy.

So, DNC x 3 - (tricomin + emu) - shampoo = good

pink, its just fine to use the foam AM and PM. But for convenience purposes if you wish to use spectral dnc (which I think already contains minoxidil?) you can use it at night which I believe takes longer to dry then foam (10-15 min tops) which would be better to apply in the AM so you dont have to wake up extra early before work, etc. understand?

gotcha, and what about xandrox does anyone think it is better or more effective than rogaine?
