    • easternculture on 06/10/2024 - 21:27

      If you have Finasteride, you can make your own by adding to the Minoxidil bottle.
      Plenty of information on reddit

        • easternculture on 07/10/2024 - 00:20

          I havent, but the minoxidil solvent (alcohol based) is good enough to disolve the finasteride. You just have to calculate the amount of fin needed for a bottle of 180ml.

          Im on oral fin 1mg and min 2.5mg and topical ketoconazole x4 weekly , cant be bothered with greasy hair from the topical

          • muwu on 07/10/2024 - 15:33

            @easternculture:

            I'm on oral fin 1mg and min 2.5mg and topical ketoconazole x4 weekly

            Hey, that's pretty much my regimen too.

            I do oral minox 2.5mg bd. And ketoconazole x2-3 weekly.

            I'm currently titrating my fin down slowly. Adding a day to my 1.25mg quarter tabs, i.e. changed from 5 days (1mg daily) to 6 days (~0.8mg daily). I'm aiming to get to 0.5mg daily over the next 12-18mo if hair is unchanged, as expected.

            There isn't a lot of clear data, but we know serum and tissue DHT levels are suppressed by similar if only slightly less amounts when you compare 0.2mg to 1mg, but it's less clear about the downstream outcome (i.e. actual hair retention/regrowth). Experience with patients suggest that individual variability exists, obviously, but that most men could probably get same or similar results by using a dose 0.4mg to 0.8mg.

            The benefit of a lower dose is, even if asymptomatic (clinical side-effects absent) you can have relative differences in testosterone benefits, such as better energy, mood, body composition (bone mineral density, body fat/muscle %), and sexual function.

            And so, basically why not the lowest effective dose that gets the same result.

          However I have also tipped the consultants $200 for giving me great results in such a quick time and with absolute care. If any one is keen let me know and I can arrange a few things including staff speaking in english, cheaper for accommodation & food. Anything for Ozbargainners Team. Love you Guys.

      For me it caused a few thick hairs to sprout, but otherwise it's ineffective. If you already have a bald patch then nothing will make those follicles active again. Once it's gone it's gone.

      • easternculture on 07/10/2024 - 08:57

        How long did you use it for?
        Some people dont see results until after 1 year. Also, you hair follicles may not be producing enough enzyme that converts the min to the active compound so see if your GP is keen on starting oral min

        • Cluster on 07/10/2024 - 11:40

          A couple of years, and then stopped as it seemed to have little to no effect. Perhaps it's more effective as a measure to help slow down hair loss, but it's not possible to know how effective it is unless you apply minoxidil to only one side of the head and compare.

      It depends on the person.

      It’s definitely better if you’re just starting to thin. In my case, it stopped my thinning crown in its tracks, my hairline thickened up, and it stayed like that for a decade.

      Then I went away for a week to deal with an emergency at a remote site, forgot to take it, and I had dramatic shedding of hair. I started using it again when I was back, but my hair never quite got back to as thick as it was. If you use it, you can’t stop, even for a week.

      Over the past few years, my hair has started to thin despite using it consistently, but I’m close to 50 now, and have been using it for 20 years. It’s held off the inevitable for a good couple of decades, and my thinning is still very mild compared to how bald my grandfathers were and Dad is.

      On the other hand, I have friends who say it “did nothing”, so YMMV.

        bruh no way after one week it stops it like that, anyways i had a slight thinning crown, started taking it 3 months ago from the chemist warehouse version, also generic its the 5 month pack. it definitely filled out the crown and for that i can say it works, but if you have huge bald spots it probably wont have a huge effect. you need turkey for that.

    • Vampy on 08/10/2024 - 13:37

      I have a widows peak with a receding hairline, and was starting to bald at the crown. My testosterone levels were normal. Minoxidil made the hair grow back at my crown. It did nothing to my hairline (one your hair is gone, it's gone), but it did make the thinning hair their thicker, so it feels like whatever hair I have left has more volume.

              @Aap Ke Papa: One advice that worked for me. Aside from genetics try washing with less frequency. I dropped from twice a week to once a month now. It works. Shampoo strips and makes your hair fragile. Put coconut oil in there 24 h before you wash. It works and that's all I can say.

              Sure initially you will have more greasy hair so rince it daily. But you'll see the difference

              • easternculture on 07/10/2024 - 08:54

                @Raj09: Mix 6-7 parts coconut oil with 3-4 parts rosemary oil. The rosemary oil works as a natural DHT blocker for hair follicles

              @Aap Ke Papa: Im not sure if i had hair thining or MPB (dad has full hair, uncle is bold). GP advised to trial it and seems to have made hair fuller when i compared pics from a few years back. Just seems i always had thin hair from pics but never took notice until last year. But as long as the big guy is functional, ill stay on fin i reckon. The other benefit is your sperm is not functional while on fin so no unexpected suprises haha

        • Bretttick on 07/10/2024 - 00:34

          🤣 no. I know what you're referring to. All my mates didn't take it for the same reason. Your junk will work.

          Your doctor won't prescribe you 5mg if you haven't taken it before. If your lucky cut it into 6.

          Most likely you'll get 1mg, cut it in half and take everyday

      • muwu on 07/10/2024 - 18:31

        FYI…

        Frequency, or interval between dosing, is of little importance.

        Although the half-life of fin is relatively short, the downstream action (inhibition of target enzyme, 5α-reductase) generally takes more than 30 days to return to baseline levels, and typically several months to correlate with its phenotypical outcome, i.e. hair loss.

        What that means is you can have a lot of flexibility in how frequently, or infrequently, you dose. For example, a very reasonable regimen that's used by many is one 5mg dose every 5 days, or every 1 week. In theory, you could even slow that down to monthly using a higher dose, though I haven't seen this done.

        That might be helpful because a fin tab is relatively small and I imagine a cut into x6 is a bit finicky, and you lose a small amount with each cut. I personally have cut into quarters.

    • easternculture on 07/10/2024 - 00:24

  • Benzy on 07/10/2024 - 01:12

    I also started to lose hair (can see gaps at couple of places), lots of Gray hair as well. Didnt know about this, heard first time (didn't research though). How it works or I can say does it work? Is there any specialist I have to go to check out and get prescription?

    Edit: just saw a video and it is saying that once you use minoxidil, you have to continuously use it every day.

    • tof on 07/10/2024 - 01:21

      From Gemini:

      Minoxidil is a medication used to treat hair loss in both men and women. It works by stimulating hair follicles to grow new hair and prolonging the growth phase of existing hair.

      Here's how it works:

      • Blood Vessel Dilation: Minoxidil relaxes blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to hair follicles.
      • Hair Growth Stimulation: This increased blood flow provides hair follicles with more nutrients and oxygen, promoting hair growth.
      • Growth Phase Extension: Minoxidil can also extend the growth phase of hair, reducing shedding.

      No prescription needed in Australia.

      • Benzy on 07/10/2024 - 01:25

        I understand that we don't need prescription. My comment was related to visit specialist to identify the underlying issue and diagnose of the hair loss and they might provide prescription.

        Do people go to specialist first before using any treatment?

        • sicinadan on 07/10/2024 - 06:21

          You would likely need a scalp biopsy to confirm. But look at your family history of thin hair/baldness and that would give you a rough idea

  • cephh on 07/10/2024 - 03:10

      Stop washing hair too often! 😊

    • muwu on 07/10/2024 - 18:42

      Mine started the exact same way at that age too, 21. It's called temporal recession ("the corners" at the front).

      The recession will advance back deeper. And the vertex (top back of head) will begin to thin. This can advance until the rest of the top thins remarkably. Take a look at the Norwood scale for reference.

      The key is that temporal recession is either not responsive or very partially responsive to treatment. It'll generally advance gradually with time regardless. Medication is much more effective for the vertex and the rest of the top.

      I'm now 37 and have used minox for nearly 10 years, and fin for about 6 years. My temporal recession is fairly deep giving me a widow's peak type appearance, but I reversed some minor vertex thinning as I intervened early enough and my top has normal thickness.

      The advice would be to use minox, if starting topical, over the whole top of your head and don't focus too much on your temples, and monitor for thinning of the vertex when you will need to consider further treatment (e.g. fin).

      • cephh on 07/10/2024 - 19:43

        Nah, no thinning yet on my vertex, my dad has no thinning there either nor does my grandparents. My hair currently is still very thick, it just the corners. I don't think i'd ever take fin, dont wanna (profanity) up my hormones on fin.

        • muwu on 07/10/2024 - 22:40

          Androgenetic alopecia is primarily genetically determined, though it's not possible to predict the degree of effect on offspring from the phenotypes of other family members as it involves many different genes and a complex interplay between them.

          The vast majority (almost all) of men, and many postmenopausal women, will be affected, but at varying degrees and rates of progress.

          Noticable hair loss in your 20s/30s, classically starting with temporal recession, is likely to indicate a higher propensity to the male pattern of alopecia.

          5α-reductase inhibitors like fin used in low doses for hair loss require a more detailed and nuanced understanding of research data to grapple with the risk/benefit balance. In short, it's considered a safe medication at no more than 1mg daily with less than 2% of men reporting reversible side-effects.

          • cephh on 08/10/2024 - 01:30

            @muwu: let's say i was to get a prescription of oral fin, would 0.5mg be sufficient depending on how i react to taking topical min? never taken it before, so not sure if i'll be receiving any side effects

            • muwu on 08/10/2024 - 09:44

              @cephh: Most men will start with topical minox and gauge the response first, at least 6-12 months.

              The caveat with topical minox is that it typically leads to non-compliance (some men maintain it, but most don't), because twice daily applications are a bit arduous to keep doing every day indefinitely, and it can interfere with styling or a sense of hygiene/dryness. That's why the ongoing benefit of minox is usually achieved with oral dosing, and another reason why fin is considered.

              Should also note that fin does almost all of the heavy lifting when comparing treatment options. 5α-reductase inhibitors are really the only effective treatment.

              Yes, 0.5mg daily would be a good starting dose, and hopefully a good end dose. I typically recommend titrating most people within the 0.4-0.8mg daily equivalent range, and starting low to gauge the response and any side-effects. The regimen can be really flexible because daily dosing isn't necessary, the frequency can be spread out if needed, so alternative starting regimens could be 1mg x3/week, or 1.25mg (quartered 5mg tabs) x2-3/week.

              For someone that is showing male pattern hair loss in young adulthood, especially from teenage years to 20s, they are likely to have a faster progress of loss. The earlier the intervention the better to retain hair for longer, though the expectation is that it will progress eventually even on medication, but the difference might be decades (cf. middle/late age instead of young). Depending on what the patient values will depend on what they would like to consider.

              • cephh on 08/10/2024 - 19:39

                @muwu: Sweet, can a normal gp prescribe fin?

                  +1

                  @cephh: Yes.

                  However, many aren't experienced with treating androgenetic alopecia because it's essentially a cosmetic condition (but also one related to emotional health) and is not a part of RACGP core training or much of their practice experience. If inexperienced, the GP will be cautious and refer on to a dermatologist. Dermatologists are the medical specialists who train in androgenetic alopecia, though it's rarely a focus for them, they will address it (private consult fees apply, some Medicare rebate usually available).

                  An experienced GP can prescribe it after consulting with you.

                  Best to be knowledgeable in the subject and prepared to try consulting with more than one GP to find a happy fit, or otherwise be willing to be referred to a dermatologist.

    Can I get my employers medical insurance to pay for this?

      No, only Dimoxinil will be covered assuming you work in the energy sector. I believe the union is fighting to keep dental coverage as well.

      Sure, meet me in the alley.

      Oh, also if your employer finds out, just blame it on Karl.

    Super dangerous if you have cats or dogs who lick your head. Please be cautious if you have pets!

    Does it work on faces? Would love to grow a beard but my Asian genes weren't built that way.

    Full head of black hair into my late 40s though, so can't complain.

      I trialed it on my eye brows and can see them slightly thicker and fuller. But again, could be from the oral min

      Some people have success with beards, and surprisingly the results seem to be permanent if the vellus hairs transition.

      Have a look at: https://www.reddit.com/r/minoxbeards

      I’ve found some results! There’s a reddit community for this. Initially did with dermaroll but it’s such a pain to do. Just got back on track with regular application of topical Minoxidil onto the facial hair area again.

    Sage and ginger are sufficient to treat most hair loss. But who would believe that because they are so cheap and readily available lol

  • Jezzabell on 07/10/2024 - 12:13

    Can I still place an order?
