Dirty little secret about Rogaine (Minoxidil) is that it works better on women than men, especially if you start early enough. When I noticed my already fine hair thinning several years ago, I talked to my dermatologist about Minoxidil. She said to give it a try because it would not hurt anything. It just might not work. Well, it did work! At first my hair fell out even quicker (a sign that it is working because it is getting rid of the old, deteriorating hair to replace it with better quality strands from revitalized follicles), but then grew in much stronger. I do have some minor skin irritation (I use the 5% solution once every evening) but my hair has never looked better. I'm 39 and have been using it for about two years now. The downside? I will have to use it the rest of my life, but there are no nasty long-term side effects, e.g. cancer, so I'm okay with that.
