Alright, this is going to be a little long but I have been using minoxidil 5% as directed for a year now and since they say the best results won't be seen until about a year, I'm finally ready to write a review. First a little background on me...I'm 25 now and was around 18 when I noticed my hair falling out. However, I started out with pretty thick hair so I didn't notice it becoming visibly thinner until I was 21. Hair loss runs in my family and is worse on my dad's side. He and both his brother's have pattern 5 class 7 balding on the Norwood scale. For anyone who isn't familiar with the Norwood scale, that is the worst possible balding. The entire top is hairless and you just have hair on the sides and back of your head. So after watching my hair become thinner and thinner for three years, I started using minoxidil when I was 24. At first I didn't like the oiliness that it gave my hair. Like a lot of people have said, it takes a long time to dry (probably about an hour). However, after a few months I started to like the texture of my hair better after the minox had dried than if I just let my hair dry without putting anything in it. And to avoid that hour period where it looks really oily I started using a blow dryer, holding it pretty far from my head just for a few seconds to get it almost dry. The first couple months of using it, it kind of made my head itch sometimes but that never happens anymore and it wasn't as bad for me as it apparently is for some people. Another problem I had with it was what I first thought was dandruff but later realized was just the dried minoxidil flaking off my scalp. This can be avoided to some degree by washing your hair everyday but I still get little flakes sometimes. So after two or three weeks I thought I was entering the shedding phase. It never really stopped though and I'm not sure if I was shedding more than I was before I started using it. My bathroom sink still constantly has hair in and around it. After a month or so of using it I started getting peach fuzz in the front corners and to this day it is still peach fuzz - short, clear and not visible from more than a few inches away. As for my hair everywhere else, I'd say it's about the same as when I started using it - maybe a little thinner but maybe a little less thin than it would have been if I hadn't been using this stuff. In conclusion, I'm going to keep using this stuff because I don't think it hurts and it makes me feel like I'm doing something to fight my MPB. I've tried Saw Palmetto supplement, Nioxin and Revivogen shampoo and, as with the minox, I'm not sure if they make any difference. But kirkland minoxidil is super cheap so even though I haven't seen obvious hair regrowth or less shedding, I'm going to keep using it.
A foolish me gamboled gleefully into the store. Wanting a snack and delicious treat, my eyes instantly set upon this 5 pound bag of gummy bears. My mouth salivated, and my brain was seduced by the "sugar-free" title. And 10 bucks? Oh the joy, oh the joy! I snatched it with my hands and dropped the 5 pound bag in front of the cashier. His eyes met mine, and at the time I could not read his facial expression; little did I know he was witnessing a soul about to have their sphincter obliterated.
I have medium-fine, slightly wavy hair that is ombre colored, meaning the last 4 inches are light blonde. My hair was not destroyed, but I knew the ends were damaged. I applied this product to the last five or six inches of hair on my head. The newer growth is healthy and I didn't want to overload it with protein.
Very strong mount and works great. I am able to turn my tv from the living room all the way into the kitchen for when i'm cooking, entertaining or sitting at the bar, and then all the way to the deck for when I am grilling. Before I hung the tv (46" Samsung lcd ~45lbs), I hung from the half-extended mount (me ~ 180 lbs) and there were no weird noises or any sagging. Very durable mount that works easily.
I have been using this product for about two months now. I recently started playing basketball once a week after not playing for 9 years. Before I began taking Move Free, I would feel like a train hit me the day after I played. I could barely walk. All of my joints were very sore and stiff. My back felt horrible. After only a month of using this stuff, there was a huge improvement. Nothing hurt anymore. The day after playing basketball, all of my joints felt fine, with no stiffness or discomfort. It's amazing. Of course side effects vary from person to person. I have not experienced any at all and I would greatly recommend this for people who suffer from arthritis.
I'm 32, and the only telling thing about my age are the serious wrinkles on my brow. I decided to try this as it wasn't too expensive (look at Strivectin - ouch!) and thought even a small improvement would be worth the price. I have to say, I'm shocked. After about two weeks, I saw noticeable changes, and it's now been about 6 weeks, and the improvement has been tremendous. The wrinkles on my forehead are almost gone. I'll definitely be purchasing more.
