Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam, Topical Once-A-Day Hair Loss Treatment for Women to Regrow Fuller, Thicker Hair, Unscented, 2-Month Supply, 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.

The product, itself, gets 5 stars for the quality and the results it has brought me over the last year and a half of nearly daily use. However, if you have an option to order it from somewhere other than Amazon, you will get it much more quickly. I ordered this as a "next day delivery" from Amazon as I have before when I ran out and life got too busy for a trip to the store, a search for an employee with a locked cabinet key or work phone, and the long checkout line. As before, I had to wait much longer than a week. I was about to start my request for a refund today when I got the notification it was out for delivery. If this was only the first time with this product, I wouldn't complain. Because I was waiting for the time frame allowed by the Amazon notifications I received to request a refund due to non-delivery I went ahead and ordered from my local Walmart using my Walmart Plus app. It was delivered in under an hour. As far as the product goes, AMAZING results. It does require continuous use but not daily for a lot of folks. I'm in menopause with fine hair that's been thinning since my 30s and after about 6 months I noticed 1/4 inch growth of baby hairs both where I applied it and at the nape of my neck. After a year and a half, my baby hairs are about 4 inches long and my thin hair at the crown is filled in and it's all strong enough for the bun I have to keep it in for work.

I’ve been using this for over a month, and I am beginning to see some results in my hair. Not a# fast as I would like, but it is starting to work. You will need patience with this product as it takes time to see results. I will keep using, and see how it goes.

I love this product. I am thankful that it helped me with the little bold spot I had. It only took few weeks to see the results, and I didn't have to use a lot. I strongly recommend it if you have this problem like I did. Look a my pictures of before using the product and after.

I have used this product in the past with great results. Perhaps this vendor is selling old or deficient product, but after using only half the canister, the foam turned to liquid and is unusable. It's expensive. I would have liked to be able to ask the vendor to replace it if I sent it back, or refund half the price, but it is too late. Do not buy this product from this vendor, there are many other vendors who sell it. This has never happened to me before.

My hair was thinning due to aging, mostly by my ears and along the front hairline. I applied this religiously and several months later, my hair did seem thicker. But after a year or so, I noticed the regrowth was extremely wiry. My hair is thin so maybe that’s why, but after another few months I just gave up. The wiry, frizzy part was in the front and it looked terrible. So I stopped using it completely. It’s been at least six months since I quit and I still have about 2” of frizz that I can’t do anything with except wait for it to grow out. My hairdresser also has thin hair and said she had the same problem with Rogaine and had to stop it too. I’m kind of bummed because it was working, but the regrowth was a totally different texture than the rest of my head, and not in a flattering way. Just be aware if you have fine hair.

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.

Amooooo este producto , tengo alopecia por tracción , es algo que no se resuelve con un producto , cuando es irreversible el tratamiento es implante de pelo pero rogaine me ha ayudado muchísimo, me ha salido nuevo pelo y lo mantiene , claro esto se hace bajo supervisión de un dermatólogo o dermatólogo-tricologo , en fin , es mi aliado 🥰
