What the gurus are saying

Gurus report oral minoxidil delivers significant hair thickening and growth results, often outperforming topical versions. The tradeoff is unwanted facial and body hair growth that requires dose adjustment to manage. Medical clearance is essential, particularly for those with heart conditions, and dosing frequency can be titrated based on individual tolerance and desired effect.

"Since April I have been on oral minoxidil because I couldn't take the irritation from the topical one and it was making me look like I had dandruff, and honestly this has been one of the most impressive things that have changed the course of my hair. You do have to be careful if you have any heart issues to not go on this, make sure you check with your primary care physician or your dermatologist or both or your cardiologist if you have one, but it's the thing that made the biggest difference in my hair. I used to take it seven nights a week when I first started and I noticed an insane amount of hair growth everywhere else, so I had to slow it down and I probably take it now four nights a week to maintain it. I've also noticed that my hair still looks nice and full but my facial hair and hair elsewhere is not as insane as it was when I first started off."

"This is an oral minoxidil it's ten dollars a bottle at your dermatologist they'll give you a prescription and what I've found is not only am I getting all of this new hair growth like my hair is so much thicker now but it's also causing fuzz everywhere so places that I wouldn't normally get fuzz I'm getting fuzz. This is the one that I've been using that has made the biggest difference."
