ALL ORDERS PACKED AND SHIPPED - BALANCE OF STOCK RELEASED TO OZBARGAINERS 1st FOR IMMEDIATE DISPATCH

Hi Ozbargainers,

If there is something I have learned about Ozbargainers, its that - many of you are balding. Don't worry, I can help you with that….. We sell THOUSANDS of bottles of Minoxidil Extra Strength per year to you guys (and to a few gals), so much in fact an old rep friend noticed our sales were booming and has reached out from his new company to offer me a deal on one of their latest products - Restor (5% Minoxidil).

Key selling features of this product
* Made in Oz
* Spray Application (no more dripper)
* CHEAPEST IN MARKET (enter Ozbargain opportunity).

I have committed to help get this product off the ground and have a large order incoming to our store. Part of the agreement made was that I would take all stock at a certain wholesaler, with the balance of stocking to come in shortly thereafter from another supply. So while technically this isn't really a presale as I have stock on hand, I only have enough product on hand for 20-30 Ozbargain orders which will pack and ship tonight, with the balance of stock then dispatching in around 1 week - if you are happy with this arrangement please consider this deal, so unless you order in the first few mins of the deal, your order will most likely ship in 1 week or so. Based on previous Ozbargain deals for Minox that we'll sell several hundred bottles. I am expecting that once this product becomes more mainstream the price will rise, so here is your chance to lock in 8 months supply from my first supply drop.

        • The liquid formulation of minoxidil is the effective form, as it acts on the scalp at the hair follicle root. Any other formulation, the foam, and especially this spray, gets applied to the hair shaft which is dead tissue and has no effect.

          Unfortunately, propylene glycol is needed in the liquid formulation and some people will get a reactive dermatitis to it. That reaction will subside and go away, but if it's severe enough the patient will want to cease.

          • @muwu: I'm on month four of daily application (at night) and the itching is at its worst. The dandruff went though a real rough patch and has subsided a little, but the itching is crazy.

            • @Wolfenstein98k: Wow, four months is a long time.

              Well done on the compliance and persistence.

              Over such a long time I'd be willing to call it a day on that formulation if the patient is affected by it and agrees.

              I don't know this from experience, but from one patient, apparently you can source a topical minoxidil (liquid) that is formulated without the propylene glycol. I haven't gone hunting for this personally..

              Forget the foam (or this spray), it's far an ineffective application, you're wasting your money.

              My next step with minox would be oral. Have a GP prescribe, dispense the 10mg tabs ($45 for x100) and quarter to 2.5mg. Dosing is not clear in the literature, but men probably should be 2.5mg, possible up to 5mg. I recommend starting at 1.25mg (yes, that's very fine with the 10mg tab, but it should be temporary), give it 3-4 weeks then up-titrate to 2.5mg daily. You could then consider again up to 5mg daily if you want to be more aggressive and think you might benefit. Personally, I do 2.5mg bd (space out the dosing across the day).

              • @muwu: Thanks!

                I'm a little nervous about oral because I have had low blood pressure pop up a few times (mostly during deadlifts, once on the train where I nearly passed out and went blind briefly).

                Am I right in understanding the oral route is more likely to give BP-related side effects, AND less likely to be as effective for scalp regrowth specifically?

                • +1

                  @Wolfenstein98k: Yeah fair, if you've had issues with (postural?) hypotension and pre-syncope, you should be cautious adding an anti-hypertensive agent, albeit at small doses.

                  If you wanted to explore starting the oral it might be prudent to work with your GP on BP monitoring, which can involve 24hr cuff monitoring and serial clinic appointments to track if it has any effect.

                  The oral route is definitely more likely to have systemic side-effects, whereas topical is near nil systemic side-effects (local side-effects only, i.e. skin). Postural hypotension and dizziness can occur, but the most common thing is some usually mild peripheral oedema (e.g. swollen feet).

                  The research on oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia is fairly limited, we haven't done a lot. But from the data I've seen the therapeutic effect for oral is just as good as topical, so you can be confident the tab form is doing the same job as applying directly to the scalp (actually, technically it's better if you consider compliance differences because most patients don't keep up a topical regimen very well, especially compared to oral).

          • @muwu: This is just false. Both the foam and spray have the same active ingredient and are effective. Proplyn glycol just helps with absorption, it does not mean the foam cannot be absorbed if used correctly. Your reasoning is similar to watering a plant. You can use a soil wetting agent which will help, but if I water well and leave it on for the desired period of time I'll get similar results.

        • Just part your hair and spray near to the root to massage in. I put it in before bed so it stays in longer and then I usually have a shower if I'm going out and about.

          • @Trentgibbo3: Hey, read your replies. I think it's fair to say we're both right in what we're talking about.

            It's the application, right. You're referring to using a spray to apply directly to scalp, and massage (i.e. parting hair and avoiding much of the application getting to the hair shaft only) . I agree, that can be as effective as liquid (a formulation designed specifically for scalp application).

            But I know from experience how most patients apply the foam (it's usually a foam when it's not the liquid) and that very much like how someone applies a hair product like mousse, through the hair and coating the follicles so that only a minority gets exposure to the scalp. That's ineffective cf. liquid formulations used on the scalp.

            Re: propylene glycol. You misunderstood. I'm not saying this is a co-factor for the active ingredient (i.e. I'm not saying that it's having a therapeutic effect in the liquid formulations). It's that it's typically used in the liquid formulations and is the main reason some people have a reactive dermatitis.

    Will it enhance the Ozbargainer neck beard to look more manly?

  • I will give it a shot. Let's see how it goes.

    • If you don’t commit to using for lifetime, do not start. All your gains will reverse once you stop using it.

      • +5

        A bit like going to the gym. Should I also not do this? Please confirm.

        • Nope. You can engage in various other physical activities when you have had enough of gym. You can’t use another medicine and it may result in noticeable impact on your appearance and mental health.

    • If you decide to start topical minoxidil, please do not use this formulation (spray) or a foam, get the liquid formulation. The medication needs to be applied directly to the scalp to be effective as it must act at the hair follicle root. Foams and spray get predominantly applied to the hair shaft which is dead tissue and has no effect.

      Also do some independent reading on topical minoxidil, how it's best used and some of the difficulties people find with adhering to it.

      Other than that, it is a good option to start treating androgenetic alopecia.

    isn't this product subject to a class action?

  • Anyone here that has used this? Is it greasy like the solution?

    • +2

      I'm pretty sure that's Soul Glo

      • Great reference :-)

    • Watery. Makes the scalp really dry

  • I used finasteride and monoxidol mixed solution and it didn't do anything, but i didn't do any micro needling, worth another shot with rosemary oil?

    • Definitely better if you do microneedling as ypu apply

    • How long did you consistently use it for?

      • Itnhas to be used 6 momths to see any effect and then life long

        • Well, as long as you want to have hair

      • At least 6 months

    Rosemary. Also change your diet and fit your guts.

      Rosemary and time. Scarborough fair…. Someone wrote a song about it years ago.

    Quality post lmao

  • -1

    Thanks but no thanks. Been bald for 10 years and already enjoy saving money on haircuts and shampoo.

    • Yes, because saving $300 a year on haircuts really makes it worthwhile being bald.

      • +2

        $300? I get three haircuts a year for $35 a pop.

        • 6x $50 for me

      • I get 6 haircuts a year for $9 each at 888 Hurstville

        • Hurstville has so many bargain hairdressers, didn't realise they were that cheap there though

      • The true OzBargainer way.

    • Sounds like you're too late for minoxidil, anyway.

  • -2

    I had a mate on this who said it was great unless you went too fast over a speed bump or opened a can of drink that was slightly shaken up or did anything even slightly stressful at which point all your brand new hair fell out in clumps.

    • What???

      • Yeah man it's definitely one of those individual results may vary jobs, must be an easy sell to kids losing their hair though

        • No, there's tonnes of studies. It works for 85% of people.

          If your mate's hair fell out driving through a school zone, and he gets a fright when opening a can, I think his problem is not minoxidil.

          • @Wolfenstein98k: Hahaha that may be correct but this 85 percent are Self reported tiny studies with no control group, I could do the same with sufficient money and prove that Pringles improved erections by 800 percent. There's a reason so many hairdressers cut their own hair short, if it worked they'd be selling it by the truckload.

            • @Donmega123: Dunno what to tell you but that's just not true. The major studies have control groups.

              How many trials have you run?

            • @Donmega123: Doctor here.

              Two medications have proven statistically significant effects on treating androgenetic alopecia - finasteride and minoxidil. Fin has a much greater effect than minox.

              What you've described with your friend - minoxidil acts in two ways, to vasodilate blood vessels to increase oxygen and nutrient supply to the hair follicle, and to rebalance it's growth cycle so it spends more time in a terminal (thick, strong) and less in a vellous (fine, shedding) phase. It's effect is to keep more of your hair in a strong natural state.

              • @muwu: Is it true that erection medicine has a protective effect on the heart

                • @Donmega123: PDE5 inhibitors, like sildenafil (Viagra), can be used to lower pulmonary artery hypertension which reduces the risk of right sided heart failure, typically in patients with respiratory conditions (e.g. obstructive sleep apnea, interstitial lung disease).

                  That is a very specific clinical indication and there will be only a small subset of patients seeing a respiratory specialist who might benefit from that.

                  Otherwise, they are likely to be more of a risk than benefit to the general population, as they can induce myocardial ischaemia (heart attack), fairly rare and only in at-risk patients who already have coronary disease and might be on other blood pressure lowering medications particularly nitrates.

                • @Donmega123: Viagra …they use it for certain heart conditions especially in peads

                  • @easternculture: Yes, I missed that in my response, was focusing on adult medicine, yes paediatricians use it too for similar reasons to manage pulmonary arterial hypertension but due to very different aetiologies typically congenital heart conditions (structural errors from in utero development).

      From talking to a few people it is pretty much a no brainer to get it done in Thailand/Turkey, probably like $2k-$3k not including flights.

      A mate of mine did a hair transplant in Aus (in sydney), I can't recall the name of the company now, but this was like 12-15 years ago - and IIRC, it was the company of which Shane Warne advertised for them back in the days (their ads were everywhere). Anyway, he didn't have much success after the transplant.

      He did it a second time, but this time on a whim in Thailand - results were much better the second time around - and he's hair has held up well overtime.

    • +1

      Huge cost in Australia. There's a reason people take trips to Turkey on "Turkish Hairways"

        Hairlines*

    • My boss did and i think it was around 10k+

  • Turkey , I saw a doco , one hundred hair follicles transplanted at a time , not all take and it’s pretty much like major surgery with the anaesthetics .
    For $4000 US maybe there’s more than a hundred transplanted , I can’t remember exactly, but I think they put you up in a hotel like private hospital to recover for the week or so , then you come back a few more times an d your almost there ,
    just a few more times .to fil in the doll hair look .

    Don’t wear hats in the rain a farmer told me ,
    Maybe the old leather tanning chemicals
    made his bro’s hair fall out.

    I’m bald 20years and shave my head , it’s much easier.
    And I don’t miss the female attention much at all..

    Damn I just ordered 9months of minnoxidil dropper from you, it's a bit of a hassle to put on everyday

    • You're much better off with the liquid1

  • Hey @jason101 Sweet post.

    To confirm is the post for:

    4x cartons
    1 carton = 2x 60ml bottle?

    So $73 for 480ml?

    Thanks!

  • +1

    I tried this for over 6 months twice a day. Not sure if it worked. I think mostly placebo effect. Maybe not for me. I did however put to much on my head once and burnt the skin off. So just use whats recommend like i didn't.

  • Fake hair is cheaper in long run and can change the style everyday. Very poular among teens on tiktok these days.

  • How is this different from pouring minoxidil solution into a spray bottle. It's far more expensive.

    Regardless I would suggest using the solution and a 1mL oral syringe to apply. This isn't something you want to apply excessively, you will get skin bloating (which ironically makes you look a lot older than having no hair).

    It's also impossible to spray on your scalp unless you actually don't have any hair

    • +1

      Or per above you could just buy the dropper version; https://pharmacysavings.com.au/products/minoxidil-extra-stre…

      • The solution already comes with a dropper.

        I suggested a syringe for a reason, it is not possible to control the outflow using a dropper with any accuracy.

  • +1

    It would be amazing to sell a fin and min topical solution here.

    • +1

      GP can prescibe for you. Then a compounding pharmacy will make it for you.

      If you have fin tablets, search reddit for right dosage that can be then crushed and added to min bottle. Fin will disolve nicely in the solution

      • Can FIN be applied onto scalp directly or only take orally

        • Can be applied onto scalp, but is believed to be slightly more effective/reliable orally. Side effects practically non-existent in either case

      • Does it hold up though? If you dissolve it in a bottle and then take a few months to finish the bottle, surely it's not equally potent at month four versus the day you dissolved it

  • +11

    Bought! Wife is gonna love the surprise in the coming months .Will apply on her almost invisible mustache when she's deep asleep at night.

    • You might get in trouble (speculations by her) when she wakes up with white crust/sticky stuff around her mouth. Just saying

  • What is the difference between fin and min? What is each supposed to do?

    • +3

      Fin works by blocking DHT which is main cause of baldness in males (Androgenic Alopecia).

      Min works by increasing circulation and blood flow around the hair follicles and stimulating hair growth

      • As above.

        Fin (intends) to stop further loss.

        Min (intends) to cause some regrowth.

        Work well together as min (ideally) increases your density while fin (ideally) makes sure you don't lose much more density.

  • -8

    Avoid this. It will have many side effects. Please consult with a Chinese doctor. There are many herbal formulas that will be far more effective. Hair loss is often caused by deficiency in the body and herbs can correct this.

    • lol

    • consult with a Chinese doctor.

      Why not an aussie doctor?

      • +1

        because they won't promise you the world

    • Topical minoxidil has very few potential side-effects.

      Two medications have been proven to be effective for androgenetic alopecia - minoxidil, and finasteride. You can talk to your GP to consider each.

      No alternative or herbal medicine have any evidential data available to support claims for their effectiveness. Tread lightly if you are looking at these, and if you do use them with medication not instead of medication. Also monitor your liver and kidney function when starting or changing any herbal products.

  • -2

    unless you have some sort of medical study results that you would like to post id look at this product. otherwise you might as well call it holy water.

    • +3

      There are literally dozens of significant trials done on Minoxidil

      • link.?

        • https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(03)03692-2/fulltext

          "Regarding hair regrowth, the topical solution was rated as very effective in 143 of the 902 eligible patients (15.9%), effective in 431 patients (47.8%), moderately effective in 186 patients (20.6%) and ineffective in 142 patients (15.7%)."

          • -2

            @tommyq22: you know if the study had come to 80% effective id be happy with it but only effective at 47.8% comon smoke and mirrors to me.

            i have 2 issues first it being "results of independent efficacy evaluation by physicians and patients" - so who knows the criteria or guidelines

            and then

            Affiliations & Notes Pfizer Consumer Healthcare - who wouldnt want it to work they make money from it.

            • +2

              @Retarded Lunatic: Bro, do you know how percentages work? It was ineffective for 15.7% of people. For the remaining 84.3% of people it was at LEAST moderately effective, and it was "very effective" for more people than it was ineffective.

              We're not going to link you to all of the dozens of studies, because you've confirmed you lack the basic scientific literacy required to peruse them.

              Here's a major systematic review and meta-analysis - so you should have no problem with the funding, or sample size - which "strongly suggests that minoxidil [is] effective for promoting hair growth in men [and women] with androgenetic alopecia".
