I heard the generic Rogaine is very good. Has anyone had positive results?

Answer 1

I've never really heard of anyone having great results with Rogaine. Just my opinion, but I think that the companies that produce that probably have a one-shot cure all, but they tone it down to make a product that you have to keep repeatedly buying to see any if at all effects.

Answer 2

PLEASE don't use Rogaine or a generic version of it. It is a drug. Years ago it was a blood pressure medication (Minoxidil) (hope I spelled it correctly!). They discovered that one of the side effects was that people were growing hair on their bodies. So they took it off the market and re-vamped it for people who have thinning hair/baldness. It is a drug, it does enter the bloodstream and that is why when you stop using it, all the hair you did get from it, you lose once the drug is out of your blood stream. (For most people it's about 2-3 weeks) Many people experience side effects from it, anywhere from feeling dizzy or lightheaded to nausea. NOT GOOD!

If you are dealing with hair that is just starting to thin or if you want to hold onto the hair you have, (or many cancer patients will use it to grow hair), try Nioxin. It is natural, is not a drug, it won't enter the blood stream, and it works! I've seen it do some AMAZING things for people who use it consistently. They have 8 different systems designed for your specific hair type and hair loss situation. Get it at a salon that has had education and training with the product. They'll be able to guide you and teach you how to properly use them. (Makes a difference in your results!) They also have a multi-vitamin that you can use with the product that helps with hair growth. If your body is getting the nutrients it needs on the inside, it will help tremendously with growing strong healthy hair. If you are serious about growing hair then you would want to add the Follicle Booster as well as the Treatment to your regimen.
Good luck! For more infor check out:

Answer 3

Rogaine is not something to mess with. Once you stop using it, any hair that has regrown during rogaine use will fall out. You could wind up in worse shape than before you started. Think carefully.
