A detailed review of a great product

After going on a cruise and getting sun burn on the back top of my head, I thought I better do something about it. I never lost more then 50%, and my spot wasnt more then 2 inchs across, much like that guy in the comercial. I have always had thin hair compared to my friends, but I didn't want to be at my wedding with a bald head. I am 26 now, I keep in very good shape, and eat super healthy. I thought that that might be important to note.

First, if the smell bothers you, then I bet you can even step outside in the spring without complaining. I NEVER smelled anything on the pillow as long as I let it dry. It dries within minutes, and can be combed easily. Just make sure you WASH YOUR HANDS. If you don't, and you put your fingers in your mouth for any reason, the taste will be with you for hours!

I would apply just like the directions said, twice a day(I started once a day in the morning later on, see below explanation). I would put the can in cold water in the sink to cool it inside while I showered, then run my fingers under cold water. It wouldn't melt away this way. The only problem I found was it seems that half a cap full wasn't enough, but the little cans held a lot. I think that half a cap full is more a mental thing then anything else, I just wanted to apply more then it instructed me to do so. It only takes 2 minutes in the morning at most, it becomes part of your day just like brushing your teeth.

After four months, I begin using Kirkland's 5% solution at night to save money, since I didn't need it to dry as fast at night. By doing this now the Rogaine can is lasting maybe a month and three weeks. It's cheaper and I don't have to worry if im using too much. I also used Kirkland all over my head in places I wasnt loosing hair, and its really made my hair thicker, like it hurts to brush now. Since they really dont know how rogaine works, I think me putting it over my head is just enlarging the hair I already have and making it not fall out as fast, but I dont know..

After 3 months I had re-growth, with about 65-75% coverage compared to my original 50%. Its also important to know that I bought a mirror to make sure I was applying it right. I asked the person who cuts my hair and she said that I had small hairs growing.

After 4 months I had more re-growth, with maybe 75-80% coverage.

After 6 months, I can't honestly tell even under bright light where my bald spot is. I can't believe that in 5-6 short months my hair completely has grown back. It is actually kind of frustrating because now that its grown back, I wish I didnt need the rogaine anymore, but sigh I will need it the rest of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well until science clones hairs to put on my head!

ALSO, important to note!!! I also begin using head and shoulders. Most people think this is a dandruff shampoo, which it is, but it cures your of dandruff by taking care of your scalp. I also started taking a nutritional supplement called "Hair, Skin and Nails", I bought at Wal-Mart. I noticed that after 3 months my hair just seemed healthier, and grew alot faster. I also begin using Saw Palmetto Pills once a morning, 540 milligrams. People say this blocks DHT, I have no idea whether they did anything or not, but my hair is thinker all over.

I hope this helps
