2 points to note on my protocol. First, I am not going to use minoxidil as it causes premature aging in a lot of people and leaves your skin looking like shit, I have a friend who looks 40 and is 31 and been using rogaine since 25.
Second, I had my compounding pharmacy make my 5% Spironolactone cream a little thicker. The reason for this is after it has been thoroughly applied and massaged into to my scalp when I comb my hair it acts as a styling tool and I no longer need any pomade or gel etc.
