Hoping to find some help... :)

Hi, I'm new here (as you can see this is my first post). I'm in my first month of using Rogaine for Women. I dont have hair loss, but very thin hair. this is my first step in trying to do something. I have to use 2 doses a day of 1 mL. 1) can I apply them say 5 hrs apart or does it have to be morning and night?

2) what is the difference between the mens and womens formula? men's is 5mL and womens is 1mL a dose. Would it benefit me to buy the mens?

 

Thanks so much for your help

maddysmommy,

 

Welcome to our forum.

 

Actually the "2" and the "5" refers to the percentage of minoxidil, not the number of ML to apply. The 5% has been found to cause unwanted hair growth in areas other than the scalp which is why most women don't use it.

 

If you are going to use Rogaine twice daily, it's optimal to spread out its use closer to 10-12 hours apart. But if you have no choice, there's no reason why you can't apply it at shorter time intervals. Some Rogaine consumers have used it only once a day with great success.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill
