Research paper regarding hairloss
What products do you highly recommend that are reasonaly priced for someone who is struggling with hair loss? Is it true that if you haved used Rogaine over the years and stop that you will actually have less hair then you started with?
Your statement regarding minoxidil/rogaine is false. There is no 'spite' response with minoxidil. Any hair regrown with minoxidil will be lost if you stop the medication. (It's kind of like stopping brushing your teeth--we all know you have to do that 'forever,' as long as you want to keep your teeth. It's the same for someone who has hair loss. Today, male and female hair loss is treated a little differently. For men, we have Propecia, minoxidil/rogaine, nutritional supplementation, laser therapy and hair transplantation. For women we have minoxidil/rogaine, nutritional supplementation, laser therapy and hair transplantation. For women, minoxidi/rogaine is a 'first-line' therapy because of it's cost and over-the-counter availability.
Let me know what other questions you have.
