Will Rogaine help me keep the hair I have and prevent further hair loss?

In clinical studies, four out of five users claimed Rogaine helped to slow or

stop their hair loss

Can I use Hair Sprays, Gels, Mousses, conditioners and such while using Rogaine Products?

Hair sprays, spritzes or styling aids can be used on hair while using

Rogaine. Simply apply Rogaine first and wait for it to dry before applying any

styling aids

How soon can I expect results using Rogaine Extra Strength?

Since normal hair grows only 1/2 to 1 inch per month, hair regrowth with

Rogaine also takes some time. Continued use of Rogaine twice a day for at

least four months is usually needed before you notice hair regrowth. If you do

not see any response to Rogaine after four months, stop using Rogaine and see

your doctor.

Should I Use Rogaine Even Though I Am Not Experiencing Hereditary Hair Loss?

Rogaine should only be used if you are experiencing hereditary hair loss.

If you think you are losing your hair for any other reason, we recommend that you

consult with your doctor

What is the Proper Dosage (how much Rogaine for Women should I use)?

You should apply a dose (1ml) of Rogaine directly to the scalp in the hair

loss area twice daily; for example, once in the morning and once at night.

The night-time application should occur 2-4 hours before bed to allow for

drying. Each bottle should last about 25-30 days, if used as directed.

Each applicator contains one dose. It is not necessary to use fingertips.

However, if you use your hands, wash them afterwards

Will I Continue to Require Rogaine To Keep The Hair I Regain?

Continuous use of Rogaine is needed to maintain hair regrowth. If you stop

using Rogaine, the normal hair loss process will start again. You will

probably lose your newly regrown hair in three to four months.

Can I have my hair colored or permed while using Rogaine?

We have no evidence that coloring or perming hair or the use of hair

relaxers interferes in any way with the effectiveness of Rogaine. However, to

avoid possible scalp irritation, you should make sure all of the Rogaine has

been washed off the hair and scalp before using these chemicals

Do I Use My Fingers To Rub Rogaine In? Should I Wash My Hands Afterward?

Each applicator contains one dose of medicine and is designed for

application directly to the scalp. It is not necessary to use the

fingertips to apply Rogaine. However, if you use your hands, wash them

afterwards

Are There Special Instructions For Washing My Hair While Using Rogaine?

Yes. Be sure that after using a mild shampoo like Progaine you towel

dry your hair (your scalp should be dry before applying Rogaine for Women).

You don't want the hair and scalp to be too wet or the solution may run off of the scalp.
