5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Been doing daily 3% topical peppermint oil for 6+ months (never used minoxidil). Have had growth that seems as good as minoxidil. Might strenghten the idea that peppermint is a good low-cost treatment, that potentially works by another route than minoxidil.
The user has been using finasteride, nizoral, microneedling, and recently added 3% peppermint oil to their hair loss treatment, experiencing regrowth similar to minoxidil. They suggest peppermint oil as a potentially effective, low-cost alternative or addition to minoxidil, with the added benefit of a pleasant smell and ease of use.
