Losing topical minoxidil progress

General
1

I had amazing results with topical minoxidil

Then my hair started to become very very dry and no matter what oils or moisturizers i added it just makes my hair more messy and still gets dry and flaky and looks bad.

It started shedding while i was on topical and lost so much progress

20 days ago i started taking oral minoxidil 2.5mg, and stopped the topical for good without overlapping because i just couldn’t handle the dryness and i was concerned about my scalp health.

Has anyone been in my situation? What can i expect from this new route? Just seeking opinions and experience from you guys that have been in my situation

if you have no blood-pressure related problems and in good cardiovascular health, oral minoxidil>topical minoxidil all day every day. 2.5mg is not a bad choice, in fact it is what I use. good luck, stay safe! :slight_smile:
