How is everyone doing? I am 22 and I used to have hair down past my shoulders for most of high school. In the last year of HS I found my hair getting oily like half way through the day and a lot was falling out when I combed it in the morning. It really thinned out. I chopped it down to a...

I used Nizerol for a long time while using minoxidil, and I thought it was great. When my hair was longer, I found it kind of made it look like straw and be more dry looking. I wasn't down with that. Then when it was shorter, near the end of the day I found my hair would start getting...

If I were a music producer looking to find new talent and it came down to two mediocre radio bands, from a business point of view, you'd want to pick the band with the better looking people in it. Doesn't necessarily mean hair=better looking. A lot of guys can pull off the shaved head look...

How does a hair piece/wig go on? Does it glue down somehow? Do they need to be taken off before bed? How well do they stay on?

I will start by saying that currently, I still have enough coverage on the top of my head, and my hair is down around where my ears end. I've had long hair before and would be interested to maintain the same look of longer hair. Probably down to my shoulders or so. Obviously I am going to...

This topic has come up before, and is always a good disscussion, especially since this is the main reason we are concerned about loosing our hair. My opinion is that if you meet a woman and you are too self conscious about your hair or lack of, than you will be subconsciouly be seeking the...

The more that you care what a woman thinks of you or your appearance, or the more you seek their approval of any type, the worse luck you're going to have with woman and relationships. You just say hey, I'm thin hair, I'm over it, are you yet? If you can fine tune your personality to...

He's got you there.

I've been on minoxidil for 13 monthes now. Throughout this duration there have been times where I've missed a few days here and there, and currently, I am just using it once per day because my hair is longer and I hate the greasy look it has if I put it on before I start my day. Also, I've read...

I used to have hair down past my shoulders throughout highschool. I cut it because I was loosing a lot each day with combing and my hair was beginning to look thinner and thinner. I had it "shaggy" for almost a year afterwords hoping the lost hair would grow back...but it only slightly...

It can be a pain in the *** to apply minoxidil two times a day...no one likes the way it makes their hair feel...and honestly, with this type of weather, how can anyone go 4 hours without sweating. I've toned down my dosage to one time a day, after a shower before I go to bed. This way, I'm...

Been using minoxidil for 8 monthes now and have seen some results at the front of the hairline, and I'm almost positive some of the thinner white hairs that have sprouted up have gotten thicker and become regular hairs. Overall, I still have not seen the results I anticipated, however it has...

If rogain can regrow velus hairs, will they thicken over time with continued minoxidil use?

What I mean is, I would like to have the hair I lost during the minoxidil shed to come back before I go on finasteride. Right now I don't think I can really "afford" another shed. Do you know what I mean? If I'm not making any progress, than in a few more months I may talk to my doctor about finasteride.

You see my problem is, I can't find 5% rogaine or any brand for that matter in my local drug stores. I suppose I could order it online, but I am afraid if the package is in the mail for more than a couple of hours it would freeze or destroy, especially being shipped to this cold climate in...
