Hi all,

I'm in the middle of researching Regaine as I was only made aware of it the other day. I'm early 30s and probably between a norwood 2 and 3.

Some queries I have:

- I've come across the term 'dread shed'. How bad is this? Is it common? I shed bucket loads anyway but I guess this is different to regular shedding?
- Is it necessary to apply it twice daily?
- I've read comments saying that once you stop using it you will shed like crazy. True?
- How easy is it to apply product (gel) after applying the foam?
- Am I wasting my time/money using Regaine and should look at finasteride instead? Is the latter available here? Is it difficult to get a prescription?

Thanks.
