I come from a family of women with significant hair loss as they aged, and I began to see the same result in my fifties. I decided to try something that had been tested over time, and found a generic form of minoxidil (i.e., the active ingredient of Rogaine). I've been using it for almost three years with impressive results–my hair cutter has no idea, nor has anyone who has known me over time, including my kids–they just see a full head of hair. When I apply it, there is a fleeting sting, but certainly not enough to dissuade a new user. At the suggestion of a dermatologist, I tried a 5% solution, because I thought it would be handy to apply minoxidil once a day rather than twice, but for me it was a little too much–it caused my scalp to itch and peel–so I returned to the tried and true 2% offered here. This generic form of minoxidil is about half the cost of Rogaine with the same active ingredients. Plus it can be delivered to your door.
