Experience with minoxidil

Ive been noticing a bit of thinning of my hair over past year and finally bit the bullet and started 1 mg finasteride with minoxidil foam a few weeks ago. Its been pretty good so far but ive noticed the minoxidil makes my hair look oily for a few hours. This might be a problem in residency I think with applying it in the morning and at night. Anyone have any experience with this and how to make it more fashionable for work haha?

Honestly it’s been fine with the foam. Some days it actually makes the hair nice and full and standing which is fun hah. Whatever works for you at the end of the day. What’s the cost of the 1mg fin these days, have been hesitant to get in that and have found pretty good success in the interim with the ‘gainz.

Im paying about $260 for 3 months of fin and minoxidil. Im a few weeks in and no sides yet aside from maybe a little bit lower sex drive, which is the most common side effect. This isnt concerning for me considering my baseline was pretty high lol but maybe something to consider if youre already low drive pre finasteride

Seems expensive? Fin is like $15 when prescribed by a GP. Minoxidil is pricey but that's high regardless.
