This goes for both minoxidil/RU. I am getting my first bit of RU in a few days. I have a diffuse NW6 pattern and my hairline isn't even really a norwood 2 yet so I have a lot of area to cover. I am thinking of using a 3-4% solution in 1/3rd PG 2/3rds everclear but am unsure of how many milliliters I should use. I am currently using 1ml of minoxidil daily and I am unsure of how effective this is as it seems difficult to cover the whole scalp with it.

only those who buzz their head can stretch 1ml successfully accross the nw6 area

1.5ml should work though

I am confused, I have read that the solution becomes saturated at 5%, which is usually the max dose people take, yet I read on another forum some guy advises taking 100mg/ml. Wouldn't that be a 10% solution? I have decided on a 1.5ml or 2ml solution, if I want to make this a 3-4% solution wouldn't this be about 60mg in 1.5ml or 2ml? Someone please help my RU is getting here in a few days and I don't want to be unsure about what to do with it
