I'd LOVE to ditch the minoxidil, but since I started the big 3 at the same time (albeit about a decade too late) I don't know how much of a factor minox has played. Never much of any regrowth on big 3, but maintained for about 5.5 years now.

 

Just can't deal with the liquid anymore, it's a greasy ass ache to apply and seems to really irritate my scalp more than it used to. Even with the foam though, I still feel like I need to wash my head about every day.

 

Would be nice to wash hair in the morning, slather on some dermmatch and toppik, then skip a day washing to be able to enjoy my fraudulent full head of hair for a couple days with no extra hassles.

Im kind of in the same boat, i started all three at once... but from what I read finasteride is the one that helps the most, so not sure if skipping minoxidil would do much or not. have they ever came out with a minoxidil pill?

Hi everyone... so i have been taking minoxidil 5%, finasteride and Ketoconazole shampoo for about 4 years now. I have pretty much stopped losing my hair and have even had joking comments about how i look "less bald" (i was never bald but my hair was definitely thinning, and still is pretty thin tbh). anyways, i have only been taking minoxidil once daily for about 2-3 years now. I would really like to cut it out of my routine all together but am kinda scared as to what the result might be. What could I be risking if I cut it down to only 2- 3 days a week? would that even have any effect? I also read that minoxidil's best results are seen in the first year, does only have to do with hair regrowth? any advice would be appreciated
