Men’s Rogaine Extra Strength 5% Minoxidil, Topical Solution for Thinning & Hair Loss, Clinically Proven FDA Approved Minoxidil for Men Treatment, Regrow Fuller Hair, 3 Month Supply, 3 Bottles

I had about a quarter sized bald spot on the back of my head and hair has definitely grown in. It’s to the point where I have to “find” where the spot was at to apply it. I usually put it on once a day, twice if Im being diligent and even then it’s growing. I did stop for 2-3 months being lazy and the spot came back eventually. The first time I used it, it seemed to work overnight. When I used it again, it seemed to grow more gradually vs overnight. Just keep using it…but also make sure you’re washing your hair and moisturizing.

I am 26 y.o. and from my father has very serious balding problems, he only has some hair left on the side of his head, above the ears. I have noticed the first signs when I was 23: first my temple and frontal line of my head started to move upwards very slowly. Then in the last 2 years my crown area has thickened and most of my hair fell off from the center of my vertex, leaving some areas uncovered. My Rogaine package arrived 2 months ago, I ordered a 6 month-package. I use it twice a day, without missing a day. I also take hair vitamins (biotion, B1,B2,B6 etc) just to ensure my hair has the sufficient material to "work with". I put Rogain to the crown area and to the frontal area. Sometimes I drop some to the mid-scalp and massage it into my full head, just to experiement wether it stops the general hair-fall. The process was the following: - in the first 2 weeks no sign has shown, my hair fall increased, it was a bit scary - after the 3-4 week my hair fall has lessened, and some minor baby hair started appearing in the frontal area of my scalp - after 6 weeks the baby hair got thicker and my hair falling almost stopped (still some fall, but I guess its the normal pace now) - after 8-9 weeks: my frontal area has almost completely grown back, the hair is very similar to how it was 4-5 years ago. The crown area is also showing improvements, there are no uncovered bald spots any more. When I touch my crown, I cannot feel my bare scalp anywhere. There is still much to improve in the crown, but the newly grown baby hairs are giving it a semi-transparent layer, which is very nice. I am sure in a few weeks/months these baby hairs will also get much thicker, just like on my frontal area. Side effects: - no side affects on my libido at all - my hair has gotten dandruff, lot of flaking happens. I guess its time to use Nizoral. - it makes my scalp dry, and because of this it itches sometimes (the itching is very minor). I started using a natual coconut-milk product, which help a lot about it In short: it DOES work, it gives back my confidence, and makes me feel young again. I can finally style my hair which I could not do in the past 3-4 years. I hope the improvements will continue in the upcoming moths and I can grow back all my hair. The 5* is not even questionable from me.

Experience: I am a woman with moderate genetic hair loss at the front top and temples. I had diffuse thinning that was noticeable and getting worse. I started using this product about 1.5 years ago. I use it every day, no exceptions. However, admittedly, for the past year I have been applying it only once a day instead of the directed twice a day. It definitely works and I am quite pleased with the difference it has made. The sparse areas are now reasonably filled in, minimizing the scalp's real estate compared to hair strands. I see results everywhere I have applied Rogaine, with the most success at the temples. If I had to pick the area that is the least dramatic I would say the very front/ above the forehead. But I was told by a hair loss specialist that this area always sees fewer changes no matter what grow product is used. But again, even here I see a difference. These days a casual observer does not notice my hair loss. That's what I want: I want it to be good enough so that I do not feel it is glaringly obvious to the casual observer. But yes, someone who is rooting around up there *looking* for my hair loss will see areas of lesser density. My sister, who has a closer vantage point and knows the issue, thinks the result has been great. The diameter of the hairs that have come in also appear a bit thicker than my thinning hair, though it may not be due to the Rogaine. Who Should and Should Not Bother Using This Product: I think that, much like anything else, the results of Rogaine depend largely on the user: First, if you expect to see results in 2 weeks, move on. This product takes 3 months to show meaningful results, though you will begin to see sprouts at about 6 weeks. If you know a bit about a hair's growth cycle you will understand why. I am bemused by the negative reviews written by folks who say, "I tried it for 10 days and saw zero results." It's like watering tomato seeds in a garden one week and demanding to see a harvest the next. Growth cycles just don't work that fast. Second, if you know you are not the type of person that will commit to using this product every single day, move on. Your hair follicles must be constantly stimulated by this product in order to grow and stay in your head. The product is not long acting (about 12 hours per application, hence the 2X day recommendation for top flight results) , so once you start skipping days (especially consecutive days), your will jeopardize the results. If you stop using Rogaine altogether the growth will fall out before the year is out. However as I said I have been using this 1X a day and I'm satisfied with the results I got. It's just that applying it 2x per day would provide maximum results. Third, if you have unrealistic expectations, move on. This product will not give you the lush, thick, hair you probably never had. The reality is that your hair loss is the result of a complex confluence of hormones and genetic factors that scientists don't yet fully understand. This product will act to fill in the spaces and minimize the amount of scalp that shines through, but it cannot perform miracles. Liquid vs Foam I first purchased the foam, and then moved to the liquid. I recommend the foam for those whose spots are mostly bald. If you have a fair amount of hair in that spot, use the liquid, because the foam just coats the hair and fails to fully penetrate the actual scalp where it needs to be. Yes the liquid can run if you are slow to rub it in but you learn how to control it. Product Consistency & Smell: The actual product contains a bit of glycolic (I think, or something very similar) to act as a mild exfoliant of the skin so that the product penetrates better. This may feel a little itchy to some people, and some people may notice flakes (exfoliated skin) but this will go away once your skin gets used to the product. I did not feel any sensitivity and only at the start did I notice just a few flakes in my hair. Understand also that the product will make your hair dirty sooner and in need of more frequent washing if you do not already wash your hair every day or two. I don't notice any strong odor. There is a vague smell to it in the bottle but this does not carry over in the one serving you apply to your hair. Other Considerations Eating crap and not exercising has not caused your genetic hair loss, but the cascade of hormones created by a poor lifestyle are exacerbating your problem. Period. I struggle with this all the time, but over the past 2 years I've gotten serious about not making life harder for the hormones responsible for keeping my hair in my head. I've also stopped using hairspray, mousse, and gel. I had no idea that the chemicals in hair products (especially hairspray) strip the hair strand so much that it thins and breaks. For those with thick and super healthy hair this isn't noticeable. But for us it is. Since I stopped using hair products i have seen improvements that I do not attribute to the Rogaine. (I.e. Hairs stop breaking as easily.) High heat blowdryers, hair extensions, and constant dye jobs are also exacerbating the thinning of your hair. I notice all my hair looks so much healthier in the 15 months since I stopped the extensions, blow dry only for special occasions, and use only demi hair color (which does not strip hair.) Give Rogaine a try, be patient and give it the time it needs to work, and have realistic expectations. I think you'll find the results satisfactory. P.S. I took off one star because I think the price the company sets for this product is too high.

And when the moon hums its nocturne, your hair shall sway, thicker, fuller—a melody of resilience. And so, dear reader, may your follicles dance, your strands harmonize, and your mirror applaud. Verdict: A standing ovation for Rogaine’s regrowth prowess.

I started using this product after it was recommended to me for hair loss related to my PCOS, and honestly—the results speak for themselves. In just 8 days, I’ve noticed so much new growth, and my hair already looks fuller and healthier. It does dry out my scalp a bit, so I prefer using it at night before going to sleep, which has worked perfectly for me. Overall, I’m really impressed with the results so far. I definitely recommend this product and will continue using it!

I decided not to worry about how long I was using it and just go with it. PRO : I did not experience shedding around the 2nd month of use. Maybe due to the hair growth capsules I take? These capsules haven’t grown new hair but they have stopped shedding, so I continue with them. Back to rogaine… After maybe 3/4, months, I noticed the sparse areas had filled up. I used it about a year or more and it definitely gave results. HOWEVER! CON : It dried my scalp terribly! White’ish looking scalp on brown skin is not cute. The flakes and itching was practically unbearable! Scratching up loose flakes so my scalp would stop itching, then flicking/brushing them out of my hair took a lot of time out of my evening. I stopped using it in February 2023 and instead received scalp injections so I didn’t notice shedding after I stopped using it. Again, could be the supplements I take. Thank you all for your honest comments. I came here to purchase a bottle, give it another go, thinking maybe I was too heavy handed with the product? But your comments have convinced me to leave well enough alone.

Beware !!! this is very toxic to my hair. I bought the liquid to regrow a few spots where my hair was weakened in some areas. I am healthy. Not taking any meds, so I expected this to regrow my hair. Massive mistake. It makes my hair dry brittle and my scalp widened and irritated from losing hair. No moisturiser can compensate after this disaster. I have itchy scalp and losing my hair in the front. I tried to get a refund, but sellar refused. Please do not buy!!!!

All good
