Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam, Topical Once-A-Day Hair Loss Treatment for Women to Regrow Fuller, Thicker Hair, Unscented, 2-Month Supply, 2.11 oz

I started using Rogaine when I was in my 50s and I'm now in my 70's, so I'm going on close to 20 years. I've been meaning to write this review for a long time because I wanted to address some possible misconceptions people may have.#1. You have to use Rogaine every day for the rest of your life. While it is true you have to continue to use minoxidil if you want to keep your hair, you do not need to use it every day for the rest of your life. I'm pretty sure I used it every day for the first year and a half, but after that I noticed that even if I missed a day my hair didn't fall out; then if I missed a couple days, 3 days, a week. So for most of the time I've been using Rogaine, I've only been using it about once every 10 days. Sometimes, I'll go longer and I'll start seeing more hair in the shower. When that happens, I'll just use the Rogaine then go back to my every 10 days schedule.I would not recommend that you purposely skip days until your hair regrowth is firmly established, but once it is, you can try experimenting.Which brings me to "sort of" Misconception #2: If you go longer than two weeks without using Rogaine, your hair will fall out. Well, it will start to fall out, but it doesn't all fall out on Day 15. And, as noted above, once you restart the Rogaine, the hair loss will stop. (I don't know for how long of a period of abstention this will hold true.)Misconception #3: you have to apply the foam directly to the areas of hair loss. I found this was a misconception because I was only applying the minoxidil to the right side of my head since that was where I had noticed the thinning. Well, lo and behold, I started losing hair on my left side as well. I never lost enough hair on the left to make it noticeable, but it did tell me that the minoxidil was affecting my entire scalp and, in fact, my hair became super thick on the left side of my head.Which brings me to Misonception #4: Wait as long as you can to start the Rogaine. I did this and it was a big mistake. Before you start growing new hair with minoxidil, you will lose all the hairs that were going to fall out anyway. The further along you are on your hair loss path, the fewer healthy hairs you're going to have on your head and the more you're going to notice this initial hair loss caused by the minoxidil. I'd never thought I was a vain person before starting the Rogaine, but I probably cried every night for the first four months of use. I'm not proud of myself for doing so but it's a fact that I did.So, I hope all the above can alleviate some of the concerns people may have about starting Rogaine. My only regret is that I didn't start it earlier.There is also one tip I have: when applying the Rogaine, use a finger cot, The Rogaine never bothered my scalp, but my finger got sore either from getting a higher dose than any single point on my head or because of the friction of rubbing so many hairs.

Ever since I got Covid in 2020 my hair has been thinning very much at my hairline and the top of my head. In the shower so much hair falls out. At 48 years old that I am now this started a few years ago and I’ve tried so many different things. I like to follow reviews from dermatologist and many of them recommended this product. It is so easy to apply. It comes in a mousse like texture. You apply it to the areas that needed and then use a scalp scrub to set it in. And then you leave it alone. This is great because you don’t have to wash it out and that was very important for me. Part of my hair growth journey is to not wash your hair often. So that is why I didn’t do well with products that you leave in for a certain amount of time and then have to wash out. I was using this every night before bed and within 5-6 weeks I was only losing a quarter of the amount of hair I was losing before that in the shower. By 7 weeks I started noticing little baby hairs in those areas that needed it. So I am here to say that if you use this product consistently and have patience, you will see a difference. The only downfall is that I wish you got more product in the bottle. Before you know it, you are ordering another one. But it’s worth it when you see a difference. Also I recommend that you follow instructions and use the amount that they say to use. In the beginning, I was using more than I needed because I didn’t want to miss any areas. But it spreads out nicely and using more product doesn’t mean that it will work quicker or better.

I was disappointed it didn't work for me .

This product has to be used continually, and works on some people. My dermatologist told meto use Rogaine [women] to regrow hair loss Without Revealing possible Hair Growth On Face. Abouta month or so later [with the first purchase], I thought I did not wash my makeup off properlybecause it looked dark, then l purchased a lightening face cream, when I looked closer, I SAWPEACH LIKE HAIR FUZZ, I was growing a beard, starting to look like my brother, and shaved.LOL now but it was not a good look on me. My doc told me to discontinue due to side effects,which I was going to do anyway, even though many did not go through this problem. My Noteto customers is to Please Read All Information & have doctors tell you All side effects.
