Rogain... anyone try it?

[sircharlz]

I'm curious to know if anyone has tried Rogain and had success with it?

I keep my hair short (high & tight) and have been thinning up top for a few years now. I'm considering trying the Rogain foam to see if that makes new hair grow in the thinning areas. But before I do I'd like to hear from people who have tried it... any successes or failures?

[SnyderShrugged]

Just on my back.....what a mess

[polywog999]

You don't need it. Your OK the way you are, anyone who needs a perfect person around, is not a good friend to hang with.

I think my thinning hair is cool. True, you can't do a lot of things with it, but you don't really need too!

mcsluggo tried, but it was a lost cause. :silly:

I use it. It works pretty well, but you have to keep using it as directed. The effects of Rogaine will wear off if you stop using it after a few days.

[Sticksboi05]

Ask Karl Malone.

I've heard this also. But I heard you actually get worse than when you started using it once you stop.

are you serious dude? you're only 20? how is your hair already thinning?

George Costanza (Jason Alexander) started balding at 13.

[Blackest Eyes]

Embrace the baldness! Started losing my hair when I was 18. Eek!

[Rskins91]

I don't know about that. I guess it feels worse because when it starts to work you get used to having thick hair again, and once you stop, the effects regress. Personally, after I went off it for a bit, my hair felt thin, but I dunno about it being thinner.

Haha. I don't know why I'm already losing hair. Too much stress watching the Redskins over the years? =P

I know I have male pattern in my family history, so that's a good reason as any.

If you can afford it - Propecia is >>>>>>>>> Rogaine. It's super pricey though.

Otherwise, avoid the foam one unless you like washing your hands for five minutes 2x a day, after you put the Rogaine on.

?

First wait until hair starts growing out of your ears...When that happens if you believe in a God you will question if he/she is a comedian!! you will also throw in the towel.. But in the mean time Yes rogain was a little helpful ...get foam kind....not washing hair every day is also helpful.....anything to not allow hair to get dried out.....like a satin pillow case......take it from your bald buddy....

P.S Propecia has a side affect of making you ding a ling go limp.....serious **** man

[GoSkins561]

Just go bald.

Polywog you have already lost the battle, just shave it.

No need. I have nothing to "hide." I don't need to act any different just because my hair is thin....oh, yea; the chicks dig it! Worrying about hair loss is silly. I have no fear of it. When you are confident in yourself....people admire you. ;-)

I use the solution. They say if you put it on 2x a day for 6 months, you will have hair re-growth.

It took over 8 months for me. I got one crop of almost translucent peach fuzz that gradually grew into normal hair by one year. I did NOT get all my old hair back or even close to it, but I am satisfied with the little that returned and now I put it on once daily (usually at night before bed) and it maintains what I have.

You just have to be patient and diligent... and be prepared to be happy keeping what you have. I even use the Rite Aid brand instead of Rogaine. It's about 5-7 dollars cheaper per bottle and does the same work.

It's not uncommon for guys hair to start thinning in their late teens- early 20's. A number of things cause it, but it's hereditary for the most part. Some young people even get grey hairs too. I have a couple myself.

[Kosher Ham]

I definitely went to HS with a kid that had a comb-over.
It happens. I don't think anyone made fun of him or anything though, he was one of those invisible people.

[terrifNick21]

Money says there's someone that posts in here (that hasn't yet) that says "you're an idiot if you try to use rogain," or something along those lines.


But I started losing hair at 17. :ols:

[Kosher Ham]

You can't put money on it after that post.

I shaved my head when HH's Mom had to shave hers. I like the look and realized that I was thinning and had patches anyway.

I am old enough to pull it off and thankfully, I have a nicely shaped head for the bald look.

But I would try Rogaine, or transplants if I felt I needed it or wanted it.

Definitely hereditary. My uncle and grandfather were both going bald by 23. Thankfully I got my hair genes from my dad's side.

I got weird **** going on with my beard though. I have grey's in it, it's a lot redder than the head on my hair, and my mustache is almost blond. I love rocking a beard so it really pisses me off. I want to try Just For Men but I'm not sure how well that works and I don't want to waste the money if it's going to make me look clownish.

[terrifNick21]

I thought you get your hair gene from your mother's side?

I'll blame it on the redskins stress for you, lol, wasn't meant as a shot at you, I was quite literally shocked.

Isn't propecia for people who do steroids? There are some dudes at my gym who were ragging on someone for it.

Dang man, that sucks. I was worried I would get my dad's hair, I got his hairline, but definitely got my hair from mom's side. I won't ever have to worry about going bald, lol.

I don't have the grey, but my beard is irish red. Does not match at all with the hair on my head...this is difficult to explain to people who do not know me, my wife has just gotten used to it.

Is that a fact? :ols:

Dang George Costanza has had it bad, he's the spokesperson for all of the bad things that happen to guys, first rogaine, then jenny craig, next....extenze...with JJ

the world is quite happy that rogaine has enabled you to maintain this classic look....

fortunately... God beat "Just For Men" to that punch....

[pjfootballer]

I've been thinning for about 10 years. Thought about rogaine and hair transplants, but I'm married and my wife has never said anything. Last year I had 3 subascsous cysts on my scalp (fatty tissue cysts) and had them removed because I wanted to go shorter. I think I'll start buzz-cutting my hair now. It doesn't really bother me any more.

Fixed that for ya.

[CP3]

I was thining on top at one time. Then I started using "California Baby" baby shampoo and covering my hair at night and using silk pillow cases. Also I apply vitimin A, E and C to my scalp everyday. I eat plenty of kelp and silica gel. My hair grew back long, strong and healthy.

As for the grey hairs, it's not noticebale ( mainly because I've let it grow out a lot ) unless I look in a mirror closely. It just startles you for a bit when you think you have a piece of lint or some other particle in your hair and you try to pull it out, and it hurts like ****. :(

mcsluggo's reaction at looking in the mirror on his 17th birthday....

[mcsluggo]

it was right around my 30th birthday.... but yeah.. bummer!

but the real problem with going bald is that it makes you look older... and sometime in my 30s... that stopped bugging me :)

but balding in teens or 20s.... that really would suck, i must admit.
