MinoxidilUK Blog. Questions, comments, concerns, things we read… general news and stuff about Minoxidil, Male Pattern Baldness, general Hair Loss, Beards, etc.
Minoxidil for Men. Kirkland Signature Minoxidil 5% Extra Strength for men is the only FDA approved concentration and higher concentrations do not mean better hair growth – they may even be dangerous. 5% concentration Minoxidil is the best.
Best Hair Loss Treatment. In our experience, there’s no single treatment that might be considered the ‘best’. Combine your Minoxidil treatment with Finasteride and a Ketoconazole shampoo, like Nizoral, for the best outcome to your hair loss treatment.
Early hair loss in a young man can be a crippling condition. Some young men will suffer the first stages of Male Pattern Baldness as early as their late teens. Thankfully, it isn’t too common, but early cases of MPB are on the increase.
Buying Minoxidil from Amazon. On the surface, buying Minoxidil from Amazon might look like a good idea, but UK stocks are expensive and US stocks can cost a fortune to deliver.
What are Vellus and Terminal Hairs? We hear those terms a lot and here’s our explanation of the two different types of hair – and more importantly, how they apply to your hair loss and hair loss treatment.
Minoxidil for Facial Hair. We’re asked a lot… “Does Minoxidil grow facial hair?” The simple answer… yes! Minoxidil works on your hair follicles. Wherever you have follicles, Minoxidil will improve the rate and strength of growth. Your chin, top lip and cheeks all have lots of follicles, so lots of hair growth!
DHT Blockers – Will they Help my Hair Loss? Yes, they will! but what are ‘DHT Blockers’?

The DHT hormone is one of the things responsible for androgenetic alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness.

Saw Palmetto. What the Heck is That?! And more importantly, will it stop my hair loss? It’s a plant – or more accurately, a plant extract. Most commonly, it is used to treat an enlarged prostate, although the claims as to its medical efficacy are questionable, to say the least. Claims as to efficacy on hair loss are limited.
Loniten. What is it? Is it Minoxidil? Yes. Loniten is a brand of Minoxidil tablet, taken orally, to lower blood pressure. The acive ingredient, Minoxidil, is the same, but how it is used is so important. Read why topical Minoxidil is far safer.

Minoxidil with Dermaroller. We hear about this a lot and, frankly, we’re not convinced. In fact, the tiny needles used to puncture your skin will, most likely, increase the chances of irritation from the Minox. Tell us if you think we’re wrong, but we say ‘maybe not’.
Buy Rogaine Online – Or better still, SAVE MONEY with Kirkland Minoxidil! It’s exactly the same active ingredient, but costs a whole lot less! With Rogaine®, you’re just buying the name on the can, nothing else.

Advecia is an ‘all natural’ food supplement, intended to block DHT production and increase hair growth. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is formed from the testosterone in your body and has an effect on Male Pattern Baldness (Alopecia). DHT is a male steroid hormone and is the primary direct cause of Male Pattern Baldness.
Long Term Side Effects of Minoxidil. On rare occasions, some men will experience some mild irritation when using Minoxidil, although the cause is usually a compound called Propylene Glycol, which is used to more effectively get the Minox to your hair follicles.
Kirkland Minoxidil Ingredients. There is just one ‘active’ ingredient in Kirkland Minoxidil – Minoxidil! The other ingredients are designed to aid your body’s absorption of the Minoxidil, increasing the efficacy of the drug on your follicles.

Minoxidil for Eyebrows. Minoxidil stimulates hair follicles, be they on your head, your chin, or your eyebrows. Apply Minoxidil carefully and follow the instructions and within 10-12 weeks, your brows will be significantly thicker!
Stress Related Hair Loss. We live busy, often stressful lives these days, and stress can take its toll on our bodies in many ways. One clear symptom of stress is increased hair loss. While sometimes severe, most stress-related hair loss is mild and curable.
Telogen Effluvium is when some stress causes hair roots to be pushed abnormally into the resting, or ‘telogen’ state. It can be caused by a number of things, but is commonly associated with stress. While normally temporary, regrowth of hair can be encouraged.
Ketoconazole and Minoxidil, do they work together? Yes… and no. Ketoconazole is the active ingredient in many anti-fungal shampoos, including Nizoral. While it won’t help you grow hair on its own, the combination of Ketoconazole and Minoxidil might be the best for your hair loss.
Hair Loss Shampoo. It’s so important to apply Minoxidil to clean, dry hair, so why not boost your Minoxidil treatment with a shampoo which may help grow stronger follicles and hairs? Get the most from your hair loss treatments!

Minoxidil More Popular than Ever. And its growth is showing no signs of slowing down as more and more positive results are proven, confidence in new medications increases, the ease of buying and costs get lower and lower.
Scalp Massage for Better Hair Growth. A gentle massage of the scalp will help increase the blood flow to your skin and follicles. Massage is an important part of Minoxidil application, but not just limited to its application. Scalp massage helps hair your hair grow stronger.
Best Results from Minoxidil. There’s no overnight wonder cure for Male Pattern Baldness, but if you give Minoxidil a little time and a little commitment, it will absolutely work to stop further hair loss and begin the regrowing of hair in follicles thought gone.
