Minoxidil Research Update 1/23/12 – Week 26
Hello, all! I’ve been steady Minoxidiling as much as I can, so that the results will keep coming. I have a little bit of bad news this week…well, unsure news to say the least. I actually suspect that the Minoxidil may be losing effectiveness for me… 
. For a while now, I have been experiencing shedding every time I get a shower. I reported a while back that this had started happening, but I thought it would slow down. It hasn’t. It isn’t that the shedding has been too terribly bad, but it has been there. In addition, my hair seems to be extra fragile. For example, when I try to pull Minoxidil flakes from my hair, sometimes, I will end up pulling a few strands of hair out as well. The hair never hurts my scalp when it comes out…it just pulls right out like it’s barely in there or something.
I’m not sure exactly what is happening, but I hope to God that this stuff retains my hair. I do not want to end up back where I was anytime soon. I am 22 years old, and I would hate to be almost bald at this age. I know that the time will come at some point, but I just don’t want it to come right now.
I’m not sure if I am just self-conscious or not, but I feel like my hair looks noticeably thinner. Of course, it always looks a little thinner when it gets longer, but I am just not sure. I’m getting a haircut this weekend for my engagement pictures on Sunday, so I guess we will see how my shorter hair looks next week. Until then, peace out, and stay steady Minoxidiling.
Minoxidil Research Update 1/16/12 – Week 25
Shedding has been happening, but it is definitely not as much as when I was losing hair and receding at a rapid rate several months ago. As far as I can tell, my hair is looking that same as when much of it grew back. During showers or when I scratch my hair, some hair appears on my hand, but I am hoping this is nothing serious. I would hate for Minoxidil to lose effectiveness so quickly on me.
When I was younger, I seemed to mature much faster than those in my grade. I had a “mustache” on my upper lip when others had no sign of facial hair. I always thought that I went through puberty much faster and matured much faster than those who were in my grade. Of course, I naive and only 11-12, but who knows? I could be right.
Anyways, because of the light shedding I have experienced, I haven’t ruled out the idea that since I matured much faster than many that I could be adapting to Minoxidil much faster. In other words, I haven’t ruled out the fact that Minoxidil could be losing its effectiveness faster on me as compared to others. I hope this isn’t the case, but with a medication that affects everyone differently, you cant rule out such things.
Hopefully this isn’t the case, but happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day anyways. The mail didn’t run today, and for this reason, I didn’t receive the croquet set that me and my fiance ordered for our wedding. Oh well, happy holidays, and MINOXIDIL SAFELY! and furthermore…REASONABLY…
Minoxidil Research Update 1/9/12 – Week 24
My hair is doing the same as usual. There is a little shedding happening here and there when I pull on my hair follicles, but it is nothing major. As always, I’m happy with the results I have achieved. Everything looks pretty good as far as I am concerned, and I don’t have too much to say.
I’m substitute teaching right now, and I wake up an hour before I got to work. This gives me enough time to take a shower and put on my Minoxidil before having to check in with the office. Furthermore, I am able to go to work without my hair looking to flakey and looking normal. Sometimes, there are white flakes in my hair, but I am able to bypass most of this.
My fiance is trying to hurry me into watching the TV show “Psych,” so I have to go. Minoxidil on, Users!
Minoxidil Research Update 1/2/12 – Week 23
In these pictures, I had just gotten out of the shower, and my hair is a little wet. This affected the way my hair naturally looks a little bit, but oh well.
I have still been experiencing a little bit of shedding here and there. I think some of the hair I grew on my temples is just not strong enough to stay in or something. For example, I had neglected cleaning off the Minoxidil residue which dries in your hair after a while, and when I tried to scrape it off with my fingernail, several of the weaker hairs on my temple pulled right out. It seems the new hairs I have grown in are fragile in some places. I’m guessing you need to allow the hair some time to grow and thicken before wearing and tearing them.
All in all, the product is still working and my hair looks vastly better than it did before taking Minoxidil. I am afraid of every having to stop, as my hair will probably thin even more than it ever did to begin with. I’m sure the Minoxidil is doing a great job of maintaining my hairs and is even growing back hair. Let’s hope everything continues to go well as I kick of the new year. Happy New Years!
Minoxidil Research Update 12/26/11 – Week 22
I’m being lazy on the post this week because I am having an awesome Christmas. I hope all of you have had a very merry Christmas as well! The only thing I have to say is that I am on my last bottle of Minoxidil from the package I got a while back and…I NEED SOME MORE! I am going to go get some asap and keep making posts for whoever is interested in the real world results of Minoxidil use. No photoshop here. no deception here. I tell the truth. God bless, and I hope everyone is having a great end of the year.
