Hey Friendly Forum,
I have a question. I am a little over 2 weeks post 3rd HT and I have been using Rogaine for about a week now. This is my 1st experience with Rogaine and I decided to try it this time after i read about Shock Loss. Now, I didn't even know about shock loss at the time of my last 2 HT's (once again, thank goodness for education & this site!!) So i don't really remember if I had it or not, and that being the case, I imagine if it did occur, it must not have been that bad given how hyper-attentive we all are post surgery, right?
So anyways, I have been using Rogaine for about a week (i'me continuing propecia which I've been on for about 6 years). And I am really interested in your opinion as to whether it is worth it or not. To be honest, I don't like it. I feel it makes my scalp goopy & itchy. I also have noticed a change in the texture of my hair. Before I begin Rogaine my hair was full, smooth, and soft. Now it seems more frizzy and dry even though I have returned to using the same shampoo & conditioner that I used pre HT and was extrememly happy with.
(Which reminds me. I highly reccommend Mane, Tail, & Body Shampoo & Conditioner. It was originally created for horses but a top female model friend of mine put me on to it and it's great. And cheap and available at CVS, Brooks, etc for about $7 each for a huge bottle).
But I digress... My schedule only really allows me to apply Rogaine once a day (as opposed to the reccommended 2x). So my question for my forum friends is: Is Rogaine really worth it? I mean I'd def. continue to use it if y'all had good experience and recommend I should.
And I understand that everyone's experience is different blah, blah, blah, and I should do whatever I feel most comfortable with yada, yada, yada, but I mean I gotta be honest, I mean HT isn't exactly the most comfortable experience but the results justify the means I just am hoping to hear your guys' personal experience and opinions on the whole Rogaine after the HT thang!!!!!
Thanks Again & I can't to wait to hear from everyone!!!!
