    Hey im thinking of starting on rograine extra strength, my hair is thinning on top, only noticable in certain light but def thinning out. Starting now might be good pre emptive action. So just wondering is anyone on here using it and does it work for them and also will it be a big hassle doing it everyday. Im only 24 and dont want to be bald yet, my head will not suit it! Any advice on this would be great

    I will openly admit to using it :) and can easily say that it's the best product for this sort of thing. I don't think you can really expect to regain any lost ground around the front but of there is just thining this could help thicken up things (it did for me).

    My advice would be to log onto eBay and buy from the US. Usually works out at around €12/ bottle.

    Wouldn't you try the normal stuff first?

    Or are you just advertising?

    Seconded. A very good forum with a lot of very helpful people

    Rogaine contains minoxidil like most of these so they're all pretty much the same. It tends mostly only to work on the back of the head (bald spot area). It's not so successful on the front. I found it gave me sever scalp rash.

    I would recommend looking into finasteride (aka propecia or proscar) or dutasteride. I personally take the former with some good results. Read up on them. I can't really say much more on this as it's not a medical board. If you want you can pm me and I'll tell you a bit more.

    It's not a problem to use every day and time of results vary (they say to give it around 6 months). If you are hapy to keep what you have then I would say that it is ideal! I wouldn't worry about missing applications now and again. I usually miss a couple a week,

    With regards to finasteride I used it and found it to be of no benefit (that's just me though). Make sure to read up on it as there can be some nasty side effects.
