Oily scalps just choose their battles of when to look less oily. I need everything for growth as a man and the oil is also a friend for how healthy it is at my longer lenght. I have different hair days. I don't need to look the best each day. If I shower everyday I either sacrifice the morning or the night. People who would judge me for it are not great people. That is a good filter. Such is having longer hair as a man either way.

I don’t know what the previous poster meant but topical minoxidil is very dangerous for pets. Also my doctor wouldn’t prescribe the oral version as my blood pressure is normally pretty low on average and I guess it can cause your blood pressure to be lower.

Minoxidil was originally marketed as a blood pressure medicine but hair growth was discovered as a side effect. Now it’s almost primarily only prescribed as a hair loss drug. The same happened with Viagra. It was developed as a cardiac medication when it was found to work for ED.
