I hate how Minoxidil is easy for the average shmuck with short hair to apply or a woman who only needs to apply it on the top of her head. With longer hair, I find it ridiculously hard to apply just 1ml of the solution to the entire MPB area including the frontal sides that recede a bit. I began by using 1 ml of Minoxidil per application at first, when my hair was short, which wasn't too much of a hard job, still had to concentrate on distributing it properly, but since growing out my hair, I went from 1ml to 1.5ml and today I am using 2ml per application (4ml a day). I am also buying the genuine Rogaine in Australia which is ridiculously expensive here ($119 for a "4 month" supply at best), and generics aren't much better off. It's costing as much as Propecia (had to stop it due to sides) except with all the hassle and less effectiveness. I comb my hair in seven rows on the top of my head and dab the tip of the dropper along those lines one at a time. Then I use a fork-like comb to lift my hair on the frontal sides and at the crown and dab the tip of the dropper in those areas. Afterward I try to get my fingers under my hair (about 6 inches long) and massage it in, getting the solution spread out more. I don't want to cut my hair short until I have to (if Minoxidil doesn't preserve my hair forever, also using Nizoral & Nioxin), so is my only option to wine and bear it? I guess I want to know if there's a better way of applying it or you know, whatever.
