Slow Results

I know that they say that it takes 3 months to see results, but I used it for 6 months and at month 6, I finally started to see a tiny bit of hair regrowth. I switched over to Minoxigaine by Hairgenics FDA Approved Hair Growth Formula with 5% Minoxidil Plus Powerful DHT Blockers and I saw more results in two months than I did in 6 months with Rogaine! It contains a stronger concentration of minoxidil plus alzelaic acid and other things that have really worked wonders for me. Rogaine is not bad but Minoxigaine is much better.

I have been using Rogain for quite sometime now and was truly satisfied except for the body hair that will grow as well , it used to be a great product to slow down hair loss and mostly getting your hair to grow back faster and thicker .. BUT I recently been losing my hair for months now and thought of starting Rogain again but it had gotten my scalp super sensitive, itching, dandruff and little burns after applying it , which got me confused as I never had this issue with it throughout many years of using it and here is a picture of the hair I lost the next morning after using it ..
Advice out of my own experience; if you feel any burning, strong itching or huge dandruff STOP USING IT and consult with a dermatologist who is specialize in hair as well .

Let me ask you, if you're told "Don't ever use drugs because using it for a month would make you lose all your teeth and lose your bladder control", WOULD YOU DARE TO TRY IT?? Of course NOT!! Unfortunately for Rogaine, NOBODY ever tells about the big cost and side effects for slightly using or TRYING the product. And I am one of the victims.

I am in my 40s and have had thinning hair. I do not have big spots of baldness but was just concerned about going bald in a few years. My mistake for trying Rogaine without reading reviews on forums on the web. I was blinded by the majority good reviews on Amazon and apparently those were biased reviews. I was fully aware that I would have to use Rogaine forever, and if I quit later "hair would go back to where it was before you used, probably thinner because of what you would have shed anyways in those years" - false claims.

I used Rogaine for 4 weeks and had no problem at all. On the 5th week, all of a sudden my hair started to fall!!! I shed alot during wash and also during the day. And yes I was aware a shedding phase was normal, but it was too stressful so in the next 2-3 days I decided to quit. I thought it was only a month use how harmful could that be? Stopping should stop all the side effects, correct? And then after I stopped, the shed continued and continued. NOT just the hair that I used Rogaine on (at the crown) fell off, all other hair also fell off!!

So apparently stopping DID NOT stop the side effect!! I'm not talking about using it for a few years and my hair is totally dependent on it, I mean I used it for a few weeks!!! Now I am so heart broken and I cry everyday. I'm so mad at every false claim that the manufacturer and other people say about the product!! I'm sure it would work on people who keep on using till the end of their lives, but WHY is it so TOXIC and DANGEROUS and caused so much adverse effect on people who ONLY USED IT FOR 1 MONTH???

**CLAIM** - "after you quit hair grown by Rogaine would fall off and back to where you started" - FALSE!! I quit at the 1st shedding phase, NO hair was ever grown, but hair still falls off, even the part where no Rogaine was used!
**CLAIM** "Then maybe Rogaine is still in effect and hair is still in shedding phase" - but come on, I quit 3 weeks ago and if Rogaine is still in effect, then I would say it's like a highly addictive heroin drug. With that much hair loss for only 1 month use, it's TOO dangerous for any ordinary people to even try without doctor's prescription.
**CLAIM** "You shouldn't have quit and keep on using you will see results" So this is a 1 way route and I'm punished for quitting. So there's no regretting allowed even BEFORE any hair is grown. To me, the cost is too much. The most important thing is - I ONLY USED 1 MONTH, not even had 1 hair grown by Rogaine, but still I have to suffer massive hair loss - whether it's a forever thing or a few months which I still don't know - it's still a huge cost for test driving a product. If I was told I would lose this much hair in any case over 1 month use (NOT losing only the hair grown by Rogaine as claimed), I would not have started.

Rogaine is supposed to stimulate growth, now with hair falling off without any stimulation, will the fallen hair grow back??? When is my hair going to stop shedding??? If I'm allowed to give minus points I would rate -100000000000!!! People think I'm exaggerated, but if anyone not caring about their hair - they would not be shopping for Rogaine nor reading this page at all. Buyers beware, I sincerely hope my shedding would stop in the near future and then no one would ever fall into this horrible trap.

I am an African American women in my 50's and my hair started thinning really bad a few months ago. My doctor said it was more likely due to stress from a surgery that I had recently had. Before the thinning, I had always worn my hair short and keep it very stylish, so I was devastated when my hair started breaking off especially around the edges and the crown of my head. My doctor recommended I try Rogaine, so I wore a wig for a month while treating my scalped with this product twice a day. I would part my hair and add it to my scalp (in the thinning areas) and let it dry first before brushing or combing my hair. It took a few weeks before I started seeing results. After a month, my hair was growing back in around the edges and the crown of my head, so I backed off and only used the product once a day now. I also switched over to all natural hair products and begin taking a multiple vitamin, which I believe helped the process. After another month, my hair has grown back in and it looks healthy again.

I have always had fine, thin hair but just recently I've become very self-conscious about my scalp showing. I'm only 26 years old and thought this was not the age I should start balding! I've tried everything - Biotin, Viviscal, any type of hair growth supplement. Yes, these supplements supported hair growth but they did not support hair re-growth like Rogaine did. I've been using Rogaine religiously for three months now and I swear by it. I think the pictures do this product justice. Thanks Rogaine!
