I want to know brother after stopping minoxidil.......is the head shedding stop or not?....

​@@DARK66781i am using it again as stopping wont treat.. atleast 6 months you have to use and hairs will be back dont worry

​​​@@johnvick8861 i am using it for like 20 days a stop due to shedding and its an about 2 months and i am still shedding....😶

@jareds4619 well 1. You'd have to buy 2x as much 5% so the economics don't really make your version cheaper. (Unless 5% got a lot cheaper from when I used it) 2. thats not how it works. Your face reaches a saturation point with that much liquid. Either way, 5% is probably enough, and I think there was a study done that showed 10% was less effective than 5%.

@@thebeardsolution I looked it up and surprisingly true -- they don't have much of a cost difference, so it would be cheaper in countries where you can get it over the counter. So you are correct, it could save money! Your comment about "saturation with liquid" sounds incorrect. Do you have a source? I've taken classes on diffusion (chemical engineer) and the thing that is typically going to effect diffusion rates is not the carrying solvent, but the concentration of the solute. In this case, what is happening is that the solvent (ethanol and propylene glycol) is evaporating and depositing the minoxidil on the skin, which then diffuses through. The 10% solution applied once will have a higher initial diffusion rate due to the higher concentration, but after evaporation (which happens very quickly), the diffusion rates will be nearly identical because both scenarios deposit the same total amount of minoxidil on the skin. The skin also will only be "saturated" with minoxidil/ethanol/propylene glycol if the concentration is equal on both sides of the skin barrier, which should basically never occur (since they will be constantly removed from the body much faster than they are absorbed).

Hi *Short Answer:* _In my opinion_ , minoxidil doesn't cause baldness. _Here's why_: *Key Points:* [1] Stopping minoxidil may seem to increase hair loss because: [a] Stimulated hair growth ceases [b] Follicles return to pre-treatment state [2] This creates an illusion of increased baldness, especially with male pattern baldness (MPB), due to: [a] Unmasking of MPB progression [b] Sudden contrast in appearance More details can be found below: *Important Concepts:* _*Hair Growth Cycle*_: The cycle consists of anagen (active growth, 2-6 years), catagen (short transition), telogen (resting, 2-3 months), and exogen (shedding) phases. This cycle repeats throughout life. _*Male Pattern Baldness (MPB)*_: This is a genetic condition where sensitivity to DHT causes hair follicles to shrink over time. It results in progressively shorter anagen phases and thinner, shorter hairs. MPB is ongoing (even during minoxidil use) and not cured by minoxidil. _*Minoxidil*_: This medication works by prolonging the anagen phase, keeping hairs growing longer. It also increases blood flow to follicles, promoting thicker growth. Importantly, it doesn't block DHT, so it doesn't address the root cause of MPB, which may continue to progress, obscured by minoxidil usage *Shedding and Minoxidil:* Some users experience initial shedding (telogen effluvium) when starting minoxidil. This occurs as new anagen hairs push out existing telogen hairs, appearing as increased hair loss. It's temporary and not experienced by all users. When stopping minoxidil, hairs are no longer forced to remain in the anagen phase, potentially resulting in apparent increased shedding as hair cycles normalize. *"Minoxidil caused my hair loss" - Reality Check:* [1] Minoxidil masks MPB progression while in use. [2] Stopping reveals both the natural hair loss that would have occurred without minoxidil and the loss of minoxidil's growth-promoting effects. [3] This creates an illusion of sudden, increased hair loss. In reality, it's a return to baseline plus natural MPB progression that occurred during use. *Remember*: While DHT contributes to scalp hair loss in susceptible individuals, it paradoxically promotes beard growth. *_Disclaimer:_* I'm not a scientist or a medical professional and it's been years since I covered these topics but I hope the above supports my position. P.s. My hairline was never permanently affected by minox - everything always went back to normal during and after minox p.p.s - I really hope my formatting worked - first time I'm trying it and it was a ballache to add - appreciate there is a lot of text here

I should add that my opinion given in the short answer is the response I've seen from professionals etc. Of all the years I have received comments the small few that have made these claims are always reluctant to provide evidence, such as before and after photos and any request for studies usually results in diatribes about "Big Pharma" - in short - I don't believe them for a second

@@thebeardsolution Thanks for a very good answer!! Appreciated

Its called a shave mate. I had a shave. What kind of retarded ass question even is this. No I just got replaced by a clone. Fuck outta here

404 brain not found

​@@thebeardsolution damn Adam calm down I was just being sarcastic by the fact that a full grown beard can make a person look a bit different that's all..jeez you salty AF mate lol

​@AmineAlgerienProd oh sorry I didn't realise we knew each other. Didn't realise we were best buds. Didn't know I was meant to read your comment with 0 context, and without knowing you somehow acertain the intention was to joke and not just someone posting another brain dead comment. Call me salty if you want, but my patience for stupidity is non-existent.

How so?

In theory yes. Its a potent DHT blocker

TMBS was legendry in it's day!

any update bro ? Did the hair fall stop or not?

plz reply brother?

brother ? did head hairfall stop or not? did you still using minoxdil on your beard?

@@TheProject-fw3qc how's the condotion now?

You probably are not a responder to the drug. You could look into Tretinoin in addition to your routine, but I don't know too much about that. The video covers pretty much everything I know on the topic, so if it's not covered in there I'm not sure what to tell you.

Brand isn't a factor. Just buy a 5% brand available locally and apply 2x per day with a minimum of 8 hour gap. It's all basically the same stuff.

In general, I would agree with that sentiment re: not knowing when the hair will "become" terminal but that given enough time, this process should take place. This is largely anecdotal, but it seems to carry from what I've observed. But to provide further context... I'd be careful trusting claims that are so black and white that it's a certainty that vellus will "become" terminal. On that note, slight anal point from me on the word "become." Vellus hairs don't become terminal per se they are required to shed first. my understanding of the science hair growth is all hair sheds and regrows in cycles. For facial hair growth with enough time and exposure to androgens like testosterone and mainly Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) vellus hairs will shed to be replaced with a terminal hair. This is the case for even those who don't use minoxidil. It's important to note that this doesn't mean that if a vellus hair sheds, it will be guaranteed to be replaced with terminal hair. When I quit minox after just over 2 years using it, I wasn't 100% sure if the hairs were all terminal, but there comes a point we all have to stop. I don't seem to have lost any coverage since quitting. You'll get a bit of shedding whenever you quit minox, and that's normal. I don't seem to have lost any coverage or density, which lends me to believe that most of it was probably terminal. I've been off 5 years, and my beard has probably improved a little with age, too, but it's all still here. I've not really stayed particularly close to the topic, though in recent years, there might be more evidence in the literature, so please take the above as largely my opinion rather than 100000000% fact.
