Re: Poll: How many of you have tried Rogaine?
Rogaine was the first product I tried for hair loss. I started out using the generic 2% formula but it was too harsh on the scalp so I eventually switched to the 5% non-alcoholic Rogaine Foam. It was much easier to apply.

Re: Poll: How many of you have tried Rogaine?
Never.
I didn't realise I was thinning at the back, until a night out over Christmas in 2005 where one of my friends said ''Kev, you've got a bald patch".
I've not read enough positive reviews of Rogaine etc to buy it. It just seems a risk, and with concealers although just as expensive, they are an instant fix to the problem, similar to a transplant. I don't have that huge amount of cash, or don't fancy paying it off at some rate a month for the next few years, that a couple of wigs will do be fine for the now. If I win the lottery maybe I'll get something done, but some tape, a bit of hair from China, and some spray on conditioner and gel will do me fine for the now..

Re: Poll: How many of you have tried Rogaine?
I used a product which had minoxidil in it for about 6 years. I didn't get much new growth, but for awhile, it seemed to help me maintain some. Then I gradually began to lose the hairloss battle. One of the best things about "wearing" is I no longer look in the mirror and become depressed that I am going bald. I also, no longer count hairs on the bottom of the shower floor like I once did. FREEDOM!

True on the freedom. I would rather be a slave to my hair piece every 10 or so days than to have to deal with fibers and hairspray and fear of losing more hair...daily!
