Funny observation. Not sure what's going on, im noticing my old hair line on my scalp/forehead. I've receded 1-1.5 inches i would say. I dont know what's going on, but I see where the old hairline was, as there are a few errant hairs along it. It's not like their new fuzz or anything, but full longer hairs. I wonder if those are old hairs thickening up perhaps. it actually looks a bit strange as there may be 5-15 hairs in that area, but nothing else until my hairline an inch back.
Also, in the corner/temple area, I think im seeing some newish hair filling in.
My hair has recessed, and maybe it's just old harline growing back in that I shed when i started minoxidil on top of zix, it's hard to say.
Is it actual regrowth? im leaning towards yes, because my hair looks much better (hasnt looked this good in pictures people take of me in several years) after adding minoxidil for the past 6 months. Also my grown has filled in some, and my hair looks way better when it's now than it did 6 months ago, or even 5 years ago.
It's not like ive experienced overnight regrowth though, it's 6 month now, so im not sure how long these possible gains will continue before they plateau. Maybe with zix they will continue past a year or two or more as I have the anti-dht in zix with the growing power of minoxidil - it's all an experiment so hard to say until i go down this path. They say it peaks around a year on minoxidil alone, but im in my 40's, so maybe my gains will be limited. So it's anyones guess, but at the same time im not trying to get my hopes up, despite my being happy with the results so far.
Anyhow, if you find zix works for you. And you've experimented with minoxidil in the past and that's worked in some capacity, it could be applying each 1x a day spread several hours apart may benefit you as well, possible more as you guys are likely several years younger.
I'll keep updating as i have been since day 1.
