Justlooking was pretty spot on. If someone thinks they're loosing their hair for whatever reason, when in reality they are not. Then they jump the gun and start treatment with propecia/rogaine immediately. Surely this must affect the hair in some way?

If someone who is not loosing any hair begins to use propecia and rogaine what will happen? How will their hair be affected and what will happen if they stop using the two?

the bottle says, "use every 3-4 days for up to 8 weeks or as directed by a doctor. Then use only as needed to control dandruff"

I have used it for exactly 8 weeks now, once every 3 days. I was wondering what happens after 8 weeks and why they recommend stopping at this time? I have sebhoreic dermatitis and I believe it has gotten better but it is not gone. I am not taking any medication nor am i currently losing any...

Your right bro, it's not as simple as going to the gym.. You can work out all you want if your diet is not in check it won't do anything. I worked out for years with little results until I got my diet straight.. I now eat 6-8 clean high protein meals every day and almost on a weekly basis I...

"1" thick"? hhhmmm not so sure about this one, Your scalp is not 1" thick, unless bits of bone and brain were coming off. I meant 1" long pieces that were thick and crusty. What makes you believe your hair can become dependent of Rogaine ? I believed I read it on...

thanks for the reply hotlegs, it was very helpful I also thought that the hair lost from rogaine would come back but it's been about 2 years now and it hasnt. My hair has stayed the same as far as I can tell. I know I have a severe case of dermatitis on my hairline, I get tons of crap under...

i think i am being misunderstood.. a few years ago (b4 I had any hair loss)i went over a month w/o washing my hair and applied gel on a daily basis. When I finally washed my hair, quite a bit fell out (although I didn't realize these were naturally shedding hairs). Being young and stupid I...

i dont use rogaine and wont use it again because is messed up my hair.. i am not losing any hair and dont have a family history of hairloss.. i lost hair when i used rogaine on my hairline (again long story). this was a couple of years ago. therefore i was wondering if rogaine had a negative...

I began using rogaine on my hairline before I acutally had a receeding hairline (long story) and it really messed it up. My dermatolgist says I have sebhoreic (sp?) dermatitis and told me to use nizoral. I have heard rogaine and nizoral work kind of similarly? Is that correct? If so I need...

Thanks for your replies. I will try to get some pics up within a few days. Basically I am trying to find out the science behind Rogaine. With this understanding, maybe I could figure out what Rogaine did to my hair and thus be able to do something about it. Actually I do worry about...

First of all, thank you for your detailed response. The reason I started using Rogaine was the following: About 3 years ago I used to wash my hair maybe once a week while using a ton of gel in my hair once or twice a day. I saw no reason to wash it since I could just wet it and apply...

To make a long story short, I used Rogaine on my hairline for about a month or two around 2 years ago. Here's the thing: at the time I did not have a receeding hairline. My hair is identical to my fathers who has never had any hairloss. Rogaine really f'd up my hairline. Currently I...
