rogaine plus toppik?

[sarah56]

Hi everyone,

I am a 52-year-old white female with diffuse hair loss--my hair thinned noticeably about 12 years ago, then stabilized, but in the last six months has started thinning again.

I'm using Toppik and am fairly satisfied with the results. The boost to my self-confidence is very helpful; I don't spend so much time feeling self-conscious about my scalp showing through my hair, so I want to keep using Toppik for that extra reassurance.

I'm considering starting Rogaine to try to slow down the thinning. So here's my question -- can I use Rogaine with Toppik in place?

By the end of the day, the Toppik tends to "clump" on my scalp. So when I put the Rogaine on in the evening, I'll be rubbing it on over the Toppik. Is this all right? The only other option I can see is to wash my hair TWICE a day, before applying the Rogaine morning and evening, and that seems rather impractical.

I'd appreciate any advice about this -- there must be people out there who are using Toppik and Rogaine together.

Thanks!
