Minoxidil-5% Extra Strength Hair Regrowth for Men, 3 Count, 2 Ounce Bottles

I'm 25 years old and male pattern baldness runs in my family. I bought this product 2 months ago and have already seen significant regrowth. When I bought it, I thought that if I could at least slow down my hair loss, I would be satisfied. When I bought it I figured at worst I had only wasted ~20 bucks and if it didn't work I was going to shave my head. I didn't actually expect to grow back hair so when I noticed that hair was growing back (a family member actually noticed it before I did)I was pleasantly surprised. The hair first started growing back about 3 weeks ago (so I had been using the product for 5 weeks) and it is still growing back. I assume it will reach a point at which it has reached it's maximum potential and stop growing back but that has not happened yet. The product says that it is not meant to treat a receding hairline, but I applied it to my receding hairline and all over the top part of my scalp and it has worked everywhere. It even says that hair growth is not expected to occur in places where it it has been devoid of hair for quite some time, but this was the case with my receding hairline where it is indistinguishable from my forehead in regards to the amount of hair (none) and hair grew back. You have to apply this product 2 times a day but you can miss days. I missed a couple of days but I never made up for it; I just continued on with the normal dose as the instructions say to do. As I see them, here are the pros and cons: Pros: - It does it's job; hair has actually grown back in as little as 5 weeks. - Comes with a dropper and you only have to use it 2 times a day. Easy to apply. - Amazing bargain for what it does. The 6 month supply is very nice. o This doesn't really have anything to do with the product itself, but the delivery was fast. I got it the very next day even though I didn't pay for next day delivery. Cons: - When it dries, it flakes up and looks like dandruff in your hair. If you can help it, it's best to apply it 2 hours or so before you have to go anywhere, and then check in the mirror for the excess flakes and remove them accordingly. - Turned my pillow a brownish color but it washed out, so no big deal. - Makes my scalp itch slightly. Not real bad though. - If you stop using it, your new hair will fall out. You have to use it for life. All in all, a great product. You can't beat the price for something as important as keeping your hair. Until some new technology is developed that allows me regrow and keep my hair for a cheaper price, I will continue buying and using this product. The cons are a very small price to pay for the enormous benefits.

Super good job and thank

I came back to edit my first preliminary review. It's been a little over a month now, just finished the 1st bottle the other day. I also just cut my hair really short. I did a high fade with a #2 on the sides/ lower parts & a #4 on top. I'm starting to see a fair amount of peach fuzz up top by my frontal hairline. Again, I will continue with the applications & report back again in another month or so... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Application process with this stuff is pretty simple. You get used to it & get very efficient at applying it very quickly. I started using the dab method to ensure it spreads everywhere instead of trying to squeeze a drop here or there & suddenly there's none left, Lol. I've also started putting 1 to 2 drops on my finger & working it in to a patchy part of my beard by one of my jaw lines. I read that facial hair behaves differently than hair on top of your head. Using minoxidil, once facial hair goes terminal, I've read on a beard forum that it's permanent and will never fall out/ go back to being noticeably lighter than other beard areas. I'm excited to see how that goes. I would advise to shake it up real good. Otherwise you might end up with a dosage where the percentage of the active ingredient is either too low or way too high, thus creating the possibility for skin irritation, advanced shedding, or worse. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before & after applications. It's also not supposed to be touched by women, especially pregnant women, from what I hear. I also read that it's highly toxic to cats. BE CAREFUL!!! Fast S&H from the seller I selected. Very good price. I like the unscented aspect of it & I actually REALLY like the feel of my hair after applications. It's got PG (propylene glycol) in it. It's good for hair. I've completely stopped using other leave-in conditioners/ styling products & prefer how this leaves my hair.
