A bit late posting but here goes.. about 3 years back I started using a product I ordered over the internet that was randomly mentioned online (can't recall where) and its odd name stuck, I did my research, eventually ended up buying a bottle. Shipping from the UK cost a LOT to where I live (the US) I think it was about $18 (!!) which was nearly half the product price itself!! Thankfully they've reduced it a bit but still it is expensive! Anyway it came with a money back guarantee so I went ahead and splurged. I have straight very dark brown/black hair and keep a center parting. My hair has never been particularly thick. I noticed specifically where my center parting is, I could see my scalp showing whenever I was coloring my hair and held a mirror above my head to get the dye application right. Otherwise it was never in my line of sight or obvious to me. I used the oil for about 3 months and I was surprised to see that center parting of mine was more hair and less scalp on show. The thickening continued a bit more into month 4 and then after that it suddenly plateaued!! Stopped! No further thickening, even after using up the whole bottle and 1 more after that. I would've liked to see a bit more thickening but it didn't happen and I've no idea why (I was using it exactly the same as before). For those want to go down the 'natural' route I still think you could do a lot worse than this. I never tried Minoxidil so I can't compare it to that, but I did use Nioxin, L'oreal serioxyl, Viviscal, Act Acre and some other (non minoxidil-based) products whose name I can't remember, before using this, all with limited results or none whatsoever. This was by far the best of them.
My question is...is it worth switching over to Minoxidil or trying something like spironolactone to 'complete' the results. I feel I'm 80-90% there but just want to push for that 10 more. Or is there a chance I might lose what I've already gained by introducing one of these? I'd hate to lose my gains so far, as I've no idea if the oil would even work a second time around!? Is it possible to use both together (oil + Minoxidil or oil + Spironolactane)? Obviously at separate times, I'm aware Minoxidil is not gonna penetrate with an oil sitting on my scalp! So for example Minoxidil AM & PM, oil for a couple of hours in the day, then washed out. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!
