Hi all.
welp, i'm back here to give an update. I've been on sandalore for 2 months... i first let sandalore dissolve in Everclear alcohol, and then after about half an hour i mixed it all with PG. applied once every night. All i can say is, it's maintaining. SOME regrowth on my crown (cosmetically, still looks like sh*t), and very visible regrowth in the area below my temples (not the actual temples though. cosmetically, you can really tell it came back). But that's it. it's still a mystery as to why during my first go-around with this, about 10 months ago, i had explosive regrowth everywhere only to shed it all off 2 months later. Now, it doesn't have the same effect as then. HOWEVER, this does work better for me than liquid Rogaine. with rogaine my hair still slowly dies. At least the sandalore has been maintaining for a while now. may jump on the dermaroller bandwagon. derma rolling + sandalore.

Im considering adding sandalore to my minoxidil, care to provide some comparison pics?

Does anyone know whether its safe to apply to the scalp after demarolling? (Sorry if the question has already been asked.

There's not much to show. any before and after pics will look the same. like I mentioned, my crown area still looks like cr*p. the most i've done is maintained. the area below my temples where it regrew... no before pics since i wasn't expecting it to grow there lol. trust me, i didn't hit anything out of the park. if it was major improvement i would def post something.

safe after derma rolling? i have no idea!

OK, it's been 9 months on sandalore for me. I last posted 6 months ago, saying my bald spot had shrunk a bit but it seemed to have stopped improving. Back in March I made 2 changes: I started adding 10 drops to 60ml minoxidil instead of 4, and I went back to 1.5mm dermastamping, which I had tried a couple years ago with no results.

Here is a pic comparing March and today. I think there's some progress, but nothing dramatic.

Some notes: I'm 61, have been using minoxidil once a day for 10 years. Though my hair is salt and pepper, all my "sandalore hairs" are brown. My skin isn't really that orange, I oversaturated the photos to make the hairs more visible. I don't think the improvement is due to dermastamping alone - I stamped weekly for a whole year and didn't see any regrowth. I've never been on finasteride.

I was around 45 when I first noticed that my crown was getting awfully thin. Though I have a "mature hairline", I've never had any real recession at the temples. I know, I'm luckier than a lot of members of this forum, but I still want to look my best, and bald/shaved would just not work with my head shape and facial features.

First I put 5 drops of sandalore into about 35ml of Everclear alcohol. Shake it, then let it sit for about 30 minutes so it fully dissolves in the alcohol. Then I add about 25ml of Propylene Glycol. Shake it, let it sit for another 30 minutes. So if you notice there's more alcohol than the PG. Then i pour the whole thing into a 60ml bottle of empty rogaine. Voila. a better maintenance product than liquid Rogaine, at least for me.

This thread on Sandalore is about the most comical I’ve read. Majority of questions are: what dose, where can I get it, what should I mix it with, it doesn’t work, snake oil, etc, etc.
I got a bottle yesterday.
Had no smell. I shook it, then it’s a faint smell. It’s weak as far as essential oil smells go. So just dip some on fingers, and placed in nostrils.. No BIG DEAL.. Then rubbed some drops on scalp. No BIG DEAL. FULL STRENGTH. It doesn’t burn or nothing. Don’t put it in eyes. So after one day I see some growth. I’m going to put some drops in aromatherapy diffuser & shampoo, & ,, whatnot. See if it works or not..
