5 / 1000+ resultscommunity So I earlier used to use the alchol variant but it lead to dryness in scalp and I switched to a non alchol variant that contains oleanolic acid , is it more or less the same , coz I heard alchol helps in better penetration so wondering if this would reduce my hair growth.
The user switched from an alcohol-based Minoxidil to a non-alcohol variant with oleanolic acid due to scalp dryness. They are concerned if the non-alcohol variant will be less effective for hair growth.
community Is the “crunching” sound during microneedling my scalp actually the needles cutting through hair?
The "crunching" sound during microneedling is likely the needles penetrating the scalp's outer layers, not cutting hair. Users suggest using a derma stamp instead of a roller to avoid potential hair damage.
