I went to a hair transplant Dr. last summer, and I'm still trying to talk myself into having one. In the mean time, I am considering using Rogaine 5% foam. The bottle states that it isn't effective for hair loss on the top front, and sides, which is where mine is, especially from the hairline back. I'm wondering if I'll be wasting my time using it, is there anyone that knows if it works on women's hair loss as well as a mans?
