Best source of minoxidil in my opinion

The over-the-counter, dirt-cheap 5% minoxidil liquid is practically liquid gold for hairmaxing anything.
Basically, get yourself this, the kirkland brand shit

off amazon or smth. Its by far the cheapest bang for your buck and works just as well as any of that expensive shit. If ur a girl, it still works just as well, It does not matter that it says 'for men', minoxodil is minoxodil, and 5% concentration is the most effective you can easily get.


Eyelash Method:

1. Apply a tiny drop to your finger
2. Gently close your eye (don't do the instinct of making a weird squinty face, it makes it harder)
3. Gently rub the minoxodil liquid on your eyelids meet, as this is where the eyelash follicles emerge from. By doing this you hit the bottom and top lash follicle roots at the same time. Remember that the hair you actually see is dead and any minoxodil that gets on there doesn't count. The actual follicle at the skin where the hair grows from is where the minoxodil needs to absorb into.
4. Keep your eye closed, and fan your eye with your hands for about 10 seconds to get it to dry.
5. Open your eye, carefully wipe any excess away. (once you get good at it you won't even have excess to wipe)
6. Do this twice a day spaced apart, once in the morning and once at night.

This may take a few tries to get right, but I promise its super easy. If it gets in your eye it will burn, but just wipe it out there aren't any problems if it gets in your eye.
I've been doing this for a month now, no issues at all with any side effects or dryness or anything.
How to apply to the scalp without getting your hair wet:

You want to get one of these DIY roller applicators, this is the one I got, so I can say for certain that it works, but im sure any will do:

It comes with a funnel, as you can see which makes filling it up super easy.

Heres the key part however: To get the metal ball to actually roll properly, you need to make it have a loose fit inside it's plastic fitting piece. Install the ball and plastic piece in the vial by just pressing it in. Then hold the vial and jam the metal ball into your table or floor really, really hard. Do this a few times, and really work it in there for like a 30 seconds. This will deform the plastic and make the ball roll super smooth and allow the liquid to flow out nicely.


Then, just roll it onto your scalp. Since it applies so efficiently, you can even apply it to your whole scalp without getting your hair wet for hair thickness maxxing not just hair loss prevention. You don't need that much, 2ml of the stuff is meant to cover the whole top of your head.

Eyebrows:

Just use your finger or the roller thing and apply a bit to your eyebrows lol.
Actual advice though:

This shit can dry your skin out and make it look like you have dandruff in your eyebrows. To avoid this do not spam it that hard, you only need to apply a light layer twice a day. Drenching your eyerbrows, and also applying more than twice a day does not mean more gains. If unfortunately you get some skin flakes and need to remove them in a pinch, just wet a piece of fabric ( ur shirt can even work if ur out and notice it) and gently rub it off. Once a day application is still effective if your skin really can't handle two times a day.

Do not worry about precise application or wiping the excess really. There shouldn't be any exess dripping, if there is you've applied too much. However, if there is some that has exited the bounds of your eyebrows, just from rubbing it in with your finger this is actually good. You want to stimulate follicles to grow that aren't really growing right now to add new follicles to the appearance to the brows. Be cautious about getting any in the unibrow area for obvious reasons. If you do, just wipe it off. To get rid of unibrow hair, do not shave it, just pluck it with a tweaser. Far easier, more effective, and you don't have to worry about accidentally shaving your eyebrow off.

Fingers are faster and quicker and work just as well lol try it out. Hasn't made my eyes swell at all, maybe yours has something else in it thats irritating your eyes. The total ingredient list on the kirkalnd brand stuff is Minoxidil, proplyene glycol, alchohol, and water. What does yours have in it?

wym not mentioning better solutions? Latisse and other prostaglandin analogs are expensive, have side effects that could cook ur eye area, and apparently only work on the eyelashes. Minoxidil is the gold standard, side effect free, and cheap asf. I feel like I gave a pretty detailed post, and put some soul into it.
