Rogaine 5%? I just started using this the other day along with Nioxin products (I used them when my hair loss first started and it didn't help keep it but I loved the way it made my head feel SO clean). I don't really expect it to work, especially since I've had hair loss for about 13 years now. This month, after 9 years, I stopped using hair replacement bonds and decided to go for wigs. The thing about the replacement is that they shave your head for attachment so I figured hey, while I'm buzzed, it would be SO easy for the next couple of months while it "grows" (what little is there) to rub some Rogaine in there. I don't have to worry about if it makes me greasy or anything either because I put a wig on anyway so I figured why not - a last ditch effort while it's convenient to do it. So I opted for the Men's version, extra strength (I figure if my body is gonna act like a man, I might as well treat it like a man).
So just curious if any of you have tried the men's 5% and did it work for you? How long did it take to see results? The box says 2-4 months but being a women, although our testosterone gets high, it's still not as high as a man's so maybe it works faster? Not that it matters because even if I grew it all back thick tomorrow I'd still have to wait for it to grow out....or walk around buzzed, lol. Also, did you use actual Rogaine brand or a generic? Rogaine was $45 for 3 months and the Wal-Mart Equate brand was $18 for 3 months. The ingredients are listed as the exact same things so I went cheap. But I guess that doesn't mean it's always a good product either. |
