    Rupi - yeah it screwed my hairline quickly too-just hoping it'll regrow again-I'm not greedy, I'll settle for what I had before I started using it! I apply on temples and hairline, kinda wish I left it alone now, but I'll push on with it.

      ye I think it did accelerate the loss on my sides.
      But my temples and top of the head started to fill in nicely, been using it for about 5 months.

      Hope you get great results man !!

        Thanks dude, are you applying it twice per day? I'm seeing baby hairs and am optimistic about it, so will carry on

          Yes I have been using it religiously twice a day, along with propecia and nizoral shampoo. Also been using laser comb, 3 times a week.

          And so far I have had decent results. Shedding has slowed down significantly in last 2 weeks or so, and hair looks thicker.

              yes I started fin and rogaine at about the same time, and added nizoral 3 months later. So far I am pleased with the results. I am going to wait a whole year before uploading new pics ...

              If you look at my history you can see the pics I posted when I first started ...

                Hey guys 10 week update, time is flying by....

                So hair still looks generally the same as it has, but there is now alot of blonde hairs all over the place (esp the hairline) that seem to be actually growing. not trying to get my hopes up because who know if they will continue to grow and darken, no cosmetic difference yet, but something may be happening?


                Hows everyone hanging in there?

                  Good news dude! Hmm I'm contemplating quitting, my left temple is taking a big hit and no sign of regrowth. Oddly enough tho my right temple seems to be thicker maybe even thickening. Hard to say.

                    HEY JCM! Do not quit! If i am correct you have only been applying once a day for about 4 months? The package says that most men have to do it TWICE a day for 4 months to begin to see regrowth... best results come between 8 months to a year. Hang in there man. I would say apply it twice a day for at least 2 more months before you throw in the towel. Has your hairloss stabalized at all recently or are you still losing a lot?

                      hi guys i think that regaine or us version rogaine are not too good i think that the advanced treatments are better if going down the minox road.
                      Like promox and also dr lees minox with added antiandrogens,dr klines promox has had 75% success rate with his new 15% minox.
                      I am not saying try these as some are a bit pricey,i was interested in the genhair formula of minox as it is not that expensive for 3 months supply,that is my next one i will try i cannot at this time as i am trialing a stem cell topical and want to use that for 5 months.

                        I'm applying twice per day for the last three weeks or so-as of today im leaving the farthest reaches of my temples alone-it's moving back rapidly since using Minox-can't bear that anymore!! Shall continue to apply along hairline tho..

                          i dont know whats up but i really feel like my hair is improving, i put in the foam today and for some reason slicked my hair back, something i would never have dared do over the last two years, and it looked MUCH better, I dont really know if its more hair or the hair i have is getting thicker, but something has changed. Who knows it could just be a good hair day, and i dont want to get to excited, but im pretty happy this morning. FYI i am 10 1/2 weeks into rogaine foam been on propecia 2 1/2 years

                            When I first embarked on the foam I loved it-it was great for styling my hair. Now I have a whispy hairline that's hard to style, hope you don't have the same experience as me in the next few months dude, it's bloody disheartening.

                              I don't mean to scare anyone-I wish all good luck with it, I'm just having a crap time with it and think I'll be rocking that Stetson soon if it keeps up.
