Women's Rogaine Hair Growth Foam, 5% Topical Minoxidil, 4 Mo, 2x 2.11 Oz

I have only been using this for 1 month. I love the foam application! Have used the runny liquid before and I hated it. It made my hair greasy, my scalp burn, and had to be applied 2 times a day. This caused me to stop using it. Only having to apply this foam version that is 5% minoxidil once a day really encourages me to continue using it. I apply it at night before going to bed and in the morning my hair looks fine. No greasyness whatsoever. I have always noticed almost instant results with monoxidil - even the 2%. With this 5% I am really excited to see all the extra little hairs that particularly grow in the front. I think it will take longer to see the results on the crown area. Unfortunately, that is where I need it the most. So for now, I am very pleased with how easily it applies to my scalp, causes no irritation, and is showing very promising results in only one month. I did read someone else's review that said to wash your hands in cold water before applying to the dry scalp. This does seem to help the foam not disintegrate so quickly by having cool fingertips. I will definitely keep using this. UPDATE 2/6/2015: I have been using the product for almost 3 months now and am still very excited about the new hair growth. I will never be a hair model, but I am no longer self-conscious about my extremely thin crown area. The front has filled in nicely and the crown area no longer shows bare scalp. I have before and after pictures starting from day one but you can only upload video to this. To save money, I did buy the Men's "Equate" brand 5% Minoxidil from Walmart, which is half the cost of this Women's Rogaine. I am sure the chemical make-up would be identical. The difference I am noticing by using the Men's version is that the foam seems thicker and messier to apply. Takes a lot more time to get it directly on my scalp while trying to keep it out of my hair. The Women's Rogaine is so light and fluffy to apply with no build up problem on my hair. I will finish up the Men's containers that I've already bought, but will probably spend the money on the genuine Women's Rogaine next time just because it feels much lighter on my hair. I also thought there was no way that slender light can would last two months. It actually lasted a little over two months, even though I am sure I was using more than the half cap full they recommend. 3/3/15 update: returned the Equate brand for men by Walmart. Started hating how it gunked up and dried out my hair. Bit the bullet and paid the higher price for the brand name made specifically for women. So much better than the generic brand. Still very pleased with the results and ease of use. I apply one time before bed each night. Hair still soft in the morning.

I'm a woman in my late 40s and I'd lost ~1/2 the thickness of my hair gradually over the last 10yrs. I was losing a ball of hair the size of a quarter with every shower. It got to the point where I was only wearing my hair up and I could see my scalp from all angles. I finally tried doing something about it before accepting I'd need to start wearing a wig soon. I don't know which parts of my regimen are playing what role in it's success, but if I had to do it over, I'd probably start with Rogaine alone. The combination that's worked wonders for me is: Rogaine every other night, half the recommended dose of a biotin supplement daily, and Keranique shampoo, conditioner, and lift spray 3x per week. I always try halving things first, and most of the time find it works. I rinse the cap in cold water a few times and fill it ~1/3 full. I generally do this with dry hair an hour before bedtime, but occasionally do it to wet/towel dried hair in the morning. I start in the middle, then part my hair in 1 inch sections with a pointy ended fine toothed comb, working toward each ear. I quickly "paint" each part with a foam soaked Qtip. Then I massage it all in with my fingertips, brush it all in with a boars hair/metal tipped brush, toss the Qtip, rinse the cap, and wash my hands twice. With practice, this takes me 5min total. My hairfall never increased and it stopped completely in <1 month. I'm now 3.5 months in, ~1/2 the hair I'd lost is coming back in, and I can't see my scalp anymore anywhere! If I did this every day as instructed, it might all have come back. I'm thrilled with the results anyway, and hoping sharing this might help a few others. Update: I'm 9 months in, dropped the Biotin supplement months ago, and it's still working just as well. Also, I'm blindly painting 3 parts from the crown 1/2 way down the the back of my head. With the Keranique shampoo and conditioner, I'm using well under the size of a quarter of each, towel drying, then doing 4 squirts of the lift spray into my hand, rubbing my hands together, and pulling them through from roots to tips. It's working great and lasting me months. ~1/2 of my total lost hair has returned and stayed. Except for once when I missed 5 days, my hair fall returned for a few days, then stopped again after returning to my routine. I highly recommend both Rogaine and Keranique and just wish I'd started them sooner! With the having of everything, it's not nearly as time consuming or expensive as I expected it to be. For those fighting wrinkles as well as hair loss, I've tried quite a few things and had the best results with No. 7 products- after cleansing I'm using vitamin c toner every night, alternating nights serum and retinol, followed by damage reversal night and spf 25 day creams daily. I don't care for No. 7's cleanser though, I'm using Neutrogena age defying. If I'm going to get alot of sun, I absolutely love Misha sun milk, soft or waterproof.

Used for 5 months, then again after 4 months. Here’s my review. Used it for 5 months from February to July: I’m a woman at 31, with short to medium-length hair. Everyone wants to know if it works first, and the answer is YES! I started using this in February 2018 to grow some of my hair back. By March, I started noticing that my hair was growing out a little bit thicker. In April, I took a trip to Singapore and Japan, and continued to use this religiously every morning while I was there. Singapore was really hot and humid, by the way, so using this made me feel a bit heavy, but I had gotten used to it. By this time, my bald spot wasn’t apparent anymore. Having a head full of hair without any glares from the top of my skull made me feel more confident about myself. Promise delivered: My hair fell out a lot less in the shower, and like I said, my bald spots weren’t so visible and apparent anymore. In fact, I no longer noticed them. My roots became super thick as well, my baby hairs around my hairline were growing so beautifully and abundantly that I kept touching it. Another thing is that this product was a little like mouse or wax, so I actually didn’t have to use any other hair products while I was using Rogaine. Allergy to Rogaine developed – the consequences: By July, however, my scalp had started to itch. It itched so badly that I had to stop the Rogaine treatment altogether. This wasn’t due to the weather. I think I developed some kind of allergy to Rogaine because 4 months later in November, I tried to use it again and had the same exact itching reaction by the 2nd day! My head was itchy, the Rogaine came off with my skin in patches… You get the idea. So I can no longer use Rogaine ever again. And no, it had nothing to do with the specific bottle. I had been using the same bottle during the month of July when this allergy suddenly happened. So, I can no longer ever use Rogaine again! What happened after I stopped the Rogaine treatments: So did my hair fall out after I stopped using Rogaine? Well, actually… It didn’t fall out excessively like it used to before I used Rogaine. In fact, for the first month after stopping the Rogaine treatments, my hair stayed almost intact. Very little missing hair, no bald spot… My head and hair wasn’t reverting back to how it used to be, like others said it would when you stop using Rogaine. This stayed like this for an entire month. After a month, my hair did start falling out, but slowly. My hair remained thick. I think it has something to do with the Biotin shampoo I was using once in a while though. Anyways, 4 months later (in November) was when I actually started noticing my bald spot again. Yeah, I was surprised it took 4 months for my hair to fall out instead of immediately after I stopped using Rogaine. Maybe I had changes in my lifestyle? Gosh, I can’t imagine what changed though. I gained more weight I guess…? My biotin shampoo that I occasionally use? I don’t know… Conclusion: Rogaine works. For some, like me, it will work better than for others. However, I developed an allergy to this thing mid-way through it. I itched like crazy for 2 weeks before the inflammation went away. So, while I do recommend it, I just thought I’d let people know that the allergy symptoms are a possible side-effect. How to apply: I recommend looking on any Youtube videos, but basically: - Hair must be dry. - I filled the cap from the rogaine bottle 3/4th full. This is enough for my short to medium-length hair. Sometimes, if I need more, I squeeze about a 5th out into the cap at a time. - I use a fine tooth comb with a pointed end to split my hair. Using a comb that you don’t share with others is ideal for Rogaine so that the product doesn’t transfer to your regular brush. - Split your hair section by section as you apply with your finger little bit at a time. - When done, rinse the cap and the comb, then style your hair as usual. This gets easier and faster as you do it. It first took me 20 minutes each day, but then I got so quick at it that it only takes me 3-5 minutes.

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.

I started the product on May 6, and I have been faithful every single night minus one. Today is May 14 and I can tell you the shedding is real… However, it seems like it has slowed down. I definitely feel like I’ve lost more hair and this is probably the toughest part. At this point, I’m all in and will continue month after month to see how the progress goes. I am starting to see some fine new hairs in the front. I will send pictures at month three and each consecutive month thereafter. I think the hardest part for people is letting themselves go through the shedding part because the testimonials for many people seem to say it works. I am hoping and praying it is that for me. at this point, I’m giving it three stars because it’s doing what it said it would to gain the fourth or fifth star. It will have to actually regrow my hair and give me more than I had not that I’m expecting a Rapunzel type hair, but definitely more full.

I have been meaning to write this review for a long time! I just passed my 1-year anniversary of using Rogaine 5% Foam faithfully and I never ever expected these kind of results. I'm just your typical woman who has aging and genetics working against her. I've always had fine hair (like mom) but plenty of it. That is, until about 5 years ago. My hair started thinning. I'd notice hairs in the shower and on my vanity. I tried every supplement - from embarrassingly expensive to quite affordable - and every topical solution available. It was a pretty depressing situation. So Rogaine was really my last shot. And I was very surprised and pleased when I found it was available in 5% solution rather than only 2%. Right off the bat, I didn't like the application process. The foam dissolved on my vanity top before I could even get it to my scalp. So I decided to part my hair and apply thin strips directly from the can... like I'm touching up my roots with hair color. There is a learning curve and the amount that comes out (and the speed) varies from can to can. I snapped a couple of quick photos on Day 1 but I really didn't expect it to work. The product is for the scalp (top) but my thinning was all-over and I figured I had nothing to lose by spreading the love to the sides of my head. After about a month, I noticed baby hairs at my hairline... like I was regrowing a widow's peak. And it occurred to me that I hadn't been seeing any hairs in the shower. At 3 months, I was so happy that if no other progress was made, I'd be totally okay with it. But it just kept getting better and better... on my scalp and my sides! At 6 months, I felt like my hair was better than it had been in decades. I had more of it and what I had felt fuller and stronger. At the 10 month mark, I went through a "shedding" process where I was losing a few hairs/day in the shower. I was freaked out at first but that eventually stopped and I still have this full head of hair. I apply it in the evening after I brush my teeth so it's quite routine now. It dries very quickly. I go through 4 cans in around 3 months. The photos (absolutely untouched) are Day 1 and my 6 Month anniversary... all with wet hair because you can really see my scalp and the full effect that Rogaine has had. And no side effects btw. I wish everyone as much success as I've had!

I've used Women's Rogaine foam for the past 7 months as a part of my hair restoration treatment plan prescribed by medical and surgical hair restoration doctor. My hair began breaking off, thinning and stopped growing past about five inches long all over my head a few years ago when I was in my early 30s. My hair is color treated and I used to get Brazilian blow out keratin treatments to calm my curly hair. Although the breakage (aka chemical cut) was caused from too many harsh chemical treatments, my hair was not recovering and it was becoming finer, thinner and I had a lot of shedding. When I was in my early 20s, I was a hair model and had long, thick hair so something was definitely wrong with my hair! What caused my hair loss: My doctor determined that a combination of hereditary hair loss (the men in my family have minor hair loss, but it's enough to give me that gene), extreme stress from PTSD and a number of the top life stressors occurring, low iron from being vegetarian for 20+ years (there is an iron range that your hair needs to be in to not have "hair anemia" and most primary care and dermatologist docs won't recognize this), low B12, regular heat styling and changing my curls to straight hair, wearing hair extensions and having insomnia all contributed to the decline of my hair. My treatment plan: I began using Rogaine as a component of my hair restoration regimen along with wearing a LaserCap, eating red meat and shellfish that's high in iron (heme iron is absorbed more effectively than vegetarian non-heme iron), taking iron supplements, taking 200 mg of Spironolactone daily (previously at 100 mg daily when my hair was falling out), receiving B12 injections, resolving the life stressors and effectively managing my PTSD through DBT therapy, using shampoo that has zinc and continued taking all the normal vitamins including biotin and birth control. I removed my hair extensions and I occasionally wear clip in extensions on a night out, but it's not that often. Although my doctor advised not to color treat (I have a lot of premature white hair), heat style and change my hair from curly to straight, I still do, but I heat style only once a week and color every six weeks. My doctor advised me that it would take a year to see results since there's a lot of changes going on under the scalp and in my body. My results: I began seeing regrowth of new hair growth after a couple months and my existing growth became fuller after several months. My friends and hair stylist regularly mention how my hair is fuller now. Currently, I have a new round of hairs about 1" long that are growing in addition to the existing new growth that's continuing. I can't say the regrowth is solely from Rogaine, but I can tell the Rogaine works since I use it on my eyebrows and it's filled them in. The Rogaine unfortunately transfers to one side of my face from my pillow (I use it at night right before bed and I should apply it two hours before I go to bed to avoid the pillow product transfer) and now I have to get that side of my face threaded every so often, but at least it's working. I've posted photos which show some of the new growth, there is much more new hair than can be seen in the photos. My recommendation: I recommend seeing a hair restoration specialist doctor to understand the cause(s) of your hair loss. If that's not possible and you're losing your hair, try the Rogaine consistently for four months to see if it works for you, it's not a huge commitment.

The product is good; I’ve been using it for over a year now. However, I’m not sure if they changed the formula or something, because the last few times I’ve used it, my hair has become hard and heavy. Furthermore, two bottles don’t even last me a full month—even though the supply is supposed to last for two months! This didn’t happen before; back then, the product lasted a reasonable amount of time. But now I have to buy it much more frequently because it runs out so quickly—despite the fact that it’s supposedly the same quantity. It’s worth noting that I always use it every other day.
