😵‍💫 Does Minoxidil Shampoo work?

Guess who’s baaack …

😅 What a week. There’s a saying “Pick your love, love your choice and don’t come to me complaining.”

Today, we take a look at how minoxidil shampoo, foam and solution compares.

PS: Minoxidil Plus+ is not without faults. It was designed to support long term scalp health and we went through all the pros and cons in a previous video ☺️

☀️ Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancers in the world.

It’s a good thing treatments have evolved - and for the better.

When I first learned about the treatment, my first thought was how can we make this more affordable and accessible to Australians, especially those who need it. The ones reaching retirement.

Should Efudix and Calcipotriol combination be PBS listed? What do you think?

🤓 Minoxidil side effects for men

The side effects are different for oral and topical minoxidil. Here’s what you should know:

Oral Minoxidil

• heart palpitations
• water retention leading to puffy face
• dizziness and headaches

Topical Minoxidil

• Itching and dryness
• Small red bumps
• Seborrhoea dermatitis

Btw, we’re seeing a lot of guys using minoxidil/Finasteride sprays incorrectly. The spray should be applied to the root of the hair so the solution comes in contact with the hair follicles.

If you spray the solution above your head, this is what’s going to happen:

👉🏼 About 25% is lost into the atmosphere, your eyes and probably your mouth (not making this up, you can look this up yourself)

👉🏼 Most will end up on the hair shaft

👉🏼 Very little will end up on the scalp (studies show less Finasteride is delivered to hair follicles when the spray is used incorrectly - you can look this up too, it’s all open literature)

🧐 Does low dose Finasteride 0.01% and 0.025% work?

Do you have the decimal point in the wrong place?

😂 No, it’s not in the wrong place.

PS: This is for information purposes. Your dose should be determined by your doctor.

🤯 Anyone else get dandruff and itchy scalp from minoxidil?

You’re not alone.

A recent study showed that men and women were likely to stop using minoxidil within 30 days because of dermatitis-like reactions and extreme itchy scalp (Shardi, 2023).

Here’s what most people miss:

👉🏼 The severe itching is most often a propylene sensitivity.

👉🏼 The dry flaky skin or “dandruff” is alcohol sensitivity.

Switching to a alcohol-free and propylene glycol free Minoxidil solution such as Minoxidl Plus+ can resolve these issues within a couple of weeks, not because it’s a magic potion that promises a miraculous cure for dermatitis, but because we removed the underlying cause.

Do you want to know why we haven’t developed a resistance to ketoconazole when we use it for conditions not related to a yeast/fungal infection?
It has really cool properties 😌

🧬 Hair texture is more than genetics

There is currently no definitive answers to the question on last slide.

It is postulated that our hair texture changes with age and we just accept it.

What do you think?

😌 Minoxidil doesn’t touch your hormones.

Zero. Zilch.

It makes the follicle size bigger so that vellus hairs can grow thicker in subsequent hair cycles. It doesn’t have any effect on DHT.

🥺 Red itchy bumps or burning scalp after applying minoxidil? This is where the brand matters.

Generic brands are great when they offer the same value for less. This is also true when it comes to minoxidil solution but you also get the same side effects because they haven’t changed anything.

Minoxidil Plus+ is a bespoke custom formula - we cherry picked what is good and replaced what wasn’t so good.

That’s it 😊

Inflamed, itchy scalp or just care about your scalp health? 👉🏼 That’s why we created Minoxidil Plus+

😵‍💫 Starting topical minoxidil is a trap.

This is a false consensus. Here’s the thing about topical minoxidil.

👉🏼 It’s like brushing your teeth. When you stop brushing, cavity and decay comes back. Same with hair loss.

This is how to improve your topical minoxidil (no holding back):

👉🏼 Leave on your scalp for a minimum of 10-12hrs. This means you need to apply twice daily. If you want to use it once a day, you need to apply 2ml x 5% once daily.

👉🏼 Combine microneedling once a week can increase Minoxidil effectiveness by up to 40%!!

👉🏼 Add Tretinoin improves absorption and also stimulates stem cells (except Minoxidil Plus+ because we added retinal).

👉🏼 Add oral saw palmetto or pumpkin seed to target DHT (except Minoxidil Plus+ because we already did that for you too).

👉🏼 If you get dandruff or dermatitis from topical minoxidil, then avoid alcohol and propylene glycol - we also addressed this nuance for you with our Minoxidil Plus+.

Topical minoxidil has been misunderstood but it is far more effective than peptides and Rosemary oil - if done right …

👉🏼 This is why we created Minoxidil Plus+ 😃

🫩 Vitamin D and hair loss - who benefits the most.

We did a video a few months ago why Vitamin D is so important for maintaining bone health, support immunity (not just internally but also on our skin and scalp).

This video gives you an update on:

👉🏼 Who can benefit from vitamin D supplements and topical vitamin D (yes, there are two types)

👉🏼 Vitamin D dosing (it is difficult to overdose on vitamin D but you should always do it under medical supervision!!)

👉🏼 How Vitamin D supports hair growth
