We know that millions of men suffer from some form of hair loss. Now that you have taken steps against hair loss, how can you achieve the best results? Use Rogaine minoxidil patiently every day (once in the morning and once in the evening) applying it to the scalp. It takes ONLY 10 seconds! Make Rogaine Minoxidil part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth or shaving. If you do this, you will give the best care to yourself and your hair.
It is important to know that just as you did not lose part of your hair in one day, you will not restore it in that short period either. Although Rogaine minoxidil starts working immediately, clear and definite results may appear during the third or fourth month.
Some features to be aware of when starting Rogaine:
During the first few weeks, there may be a temporary increase in hair loss. This is a good sign and means a new growth cycle has started! Old hairs that were in the process of falling out make way for new, healthy hair. The growth is visible. Initially, the new hair is colorless and resembles peach fuzz. Over time, the hair acquires the same color and texture as the rest of the scalp hair. If you do not notice results after 4 months of use, consult a dermatologist.
Above all, continue with your daily life — just like brushing your teeth, but applying Rogaine minoxidil takes less time and you will feel great for following the regimen.
Frequently asked questions by men regarding the use of Rogaine minoxidil:
1. What shampoo should I use?
It is recommended to use a shampoo that cleanses the scalp and a light conditioner that does not weigh down the hair or flatten it.
2. Does exposure to sunlight worsen hair loss?
No, the sun does not cause hair loss nor worsen it, but it is a good idea to protect yourself from UV rays with a hat.
3. Can I continue to use hair gel while using Rogaine minoxidil?
You can continue to style your hair as before, but it is recommended to apply Rogaine first and wait for it to dry on the scalp before applying other products.
4. Can I apply Rogaine minoxidil on wet hair?
Participants in our clinical trials had dry hair before applying Rogaine, but this is not always possible at home. We recommend drying your hair with a towel before application if using a hairdryer is not possible.
5. Can I use a hairdryer after applying Rogaine?
Yes, but it is recommended to use the lowest heat settings on the hairdryer.
HOW TO ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM
1. How long can I use Rogaine?
Our clinical studies cover a period of one year, but there is no upper limit on how long you can use our products. Continuous and prolonged use is necessary to increase hair density and maintain it, or hair loss will resume.
2. What happens if I stop using Rogaine minoxidil against hair loss?
Continuous use of Rogaine is necessary to maintain hair growth. There is no cure for hair loss, and if you stop using Rogaine minoxidil, normal hair loss will return to previous levels within 3-4 months. Therefore, long-term use of Rogaine should become part of your daily routine — like toothpaste and razors. The minimum recommended usage period is 3 out of every 6 months; breaks longer than 3 months between applications will erase the achieved success.
3. What happens if I miss one or two applications of Rogaine?
If you miss one or two applications, continue as usual without trying to compensate. Missing one or two applications will not affect the product’s effectiveness as long as you continue regular use.
4. How long should I continue using Rogaine minoxidil?
Hereditary hair loss is a lifelong condition that requires continuous use of Rogaine. Make Rogaine part of your daily hygiene — morning and evening. It takes only about ten seconds. Many customers have used Rogaine for more than 10 years.
5. Does Rogaine help with beard growth and thickening?
Rogaine minoxidil causes hair growth on all body areas, including the beard. If you apply it on your arms, you will notice additional hair growth there, so apply it only on areas where hair growth is desired.
USAGE
1. What will the newly grown hair look like?
Rogaine stimulates the growth of healthy, dense hair. Although initially, the hair may be soft and directed downward, with continued use of Rogaine, the hair will even out in color and texture with the rest of the scalp hair.
2. I recently started using Rogaine and noticed my hair loss increased? Is this normal?
Rogaine stimulates follicles to move from a resting to a growing phase. It is not uncommon to notice a temporary increase in hair loss during the first two weeks of use. This happens sometimes because the new hair pushes the old hair upward while follicles transition from resting to growing phase. The process is similar to the shedding of baby teeth in children when new teeth grow in. This hair loss is temporary and stops after a few weeks of use. Note that if hair loss continues for more than 2 weeks, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist.
3. Is there a way to know if Rogaine is working?
There are several indicators that Rogaine is working. For example, a temporary increase in hair loss during the first 2 weeks is a good sign and indicates a new growth cycle has started in the hair follicles, and old hairs that would have otherwise been lost make way for new, healthy hair. This is encouraging and shows that Rogaine stimulates hair growth and stops hair loss. Keep in mind that not everyone responds the same way to Rogaine, and conclusions from official clinical trials show it works in over 85% of cases, which is confirmed by customer reviews worldwide. If hair loss continues for more than 2 weeks, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
4. When should I expect the first results?
For most men, results appear within 4 months. Results and success against hair loss depend on correct product use: remember to apply Rogaine twice daily, every day, directly on the scalp. If you do not notice results after 4 months of use, consult a dermatologist.
MAIN FEATURES OF ROGAINE
1. What is the shelf life of Rogaine?
The shelf life of Rogaine lotion is 3 years, and Rogaine foam is 2 years.
2. Are there any medications that may interact with Rogaine?
We have no data indicating Rogaine interacts with oral medications. You should not use Rogaine if you are applying other topical products on the scalp.
3. What are the most common side effects of using Rogaine?
Some people may experience dryness, itching, or scalp irritation. Switching from Rogaine lotion to foam usually eliminates irritation if it occurs.
4. What is the difference between Rogaine minoxidil foam and Rogaine Extra Strength lotion?
Both foam and lotion contain the same amount of active ingredient Minoxidil – 5%, but Rogaine foam is the only foam approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating hair loss. Because it is a foam, not a lotion, the application is different. The foam is gently massaged onto the scalp, whereas the lotion is applied with a dropper applicator on the balding area.
5. How does Rogaine work?
In hereditary hair loss, a combination of genetics, hormonal action, and age causes progressive shrinking of hair follicles. This shortens the hair growth cycle, and over time, the active growth phase turns into a permanent resting phase, and growth stops. Scientists believe Rogaine expands the hair follicles, thus stopping their miniaturization. With the enlargement of the follicle, the active growth phase lengthens, allowing the hair to grow thicker and longer. With more follicles in the active growth phase, new, healthy hair growth is visible.
6. What is Rogaine and how does it differ from Regaine?
Rogaine is the first FDA-approved topical product for promoting hair growth. Rogaine stops hereditary hair loss and promotes new hair growth. Regaine is the same product but distributed only in Central and Southern Europe.
7. Is the product safe for animals?
There is no data. Rogaine could harm pets and animals, so keep it out of their reach in a safe and secure place.
