Hey,
I decided to take the dive into Rogaine Foam a year and a half ago. I was skeptical, but I gave it a whirl. There was dramatic shedding for the first three months, I documented everything. I made absolutely sure I made two applications per day, morning and night and took Avodart (I was on avodart for years prior). I used to soak my head in warm water to open my pores, semi-towel dry, then apply the foam. Months 4-6 were without a doubt, miraculous results, I even laughed in the mirror as hair on my forehead was growing thick, black hairs. ALL of the thinning in my frontal area was thick and it didn't matter how I styled my hair, it looked like I was in my early 20's again (I'm now in my early 30's). Needless to say, I was completely elated and I was very confident.
To make a long story short, 8-12 months the shedding started again, at 16 months I'm back to my baseline and very disappointed. Has anyone had similar results? Does Rogaine lose it's effectiveness?
My treatments at the time: Avodart .5mg, Nizoral 3 times a week, Rogaine foam
