I'm a female and have started Minoxidil 5% for men. I've used 2% for years. I find 5% little gummy on my hair. Any comments?

There is a reason why the product is stronger for men. It's because women have different skin. My doctor said it's very dangerous for women to use the 5% product: he said that the 2% for women works the same as the 5% for men. It doesn't necessarily mean that if some is good, more is better! Maybe that's why the product feels strange on your head.

I though woman were not supposed to use the 5%. Something about hormones I think. You'd better Google and see what you can find out first.

the 5% mens made my blood pressure rise so i stopped using it and went back to the 2% womens.

Hi Jen! I felt like I noticed the decrease in shedding after about a week or two, and then I started noticing little fuzzies growing up by the front of my hairline, but I've only been using it for about a month now. I am sold on it, though. It feels like the most noticeable results I've gotten from this type of product. Hope that helps.

I am not a man. All I can verify is that my fine ,curly hair grows 1 1/2 " a month. Even in winter when hair growth slows down. Give it a try for 3 months and see what it can do for you. I also take B-Complex.

Yes, 50%. Just to clarify, my husband uses this and the hair growth is notable.

My hair was a great color when I started using it. Now My hair is 50% GONE. 10 months and it is not recovering even using Rogaine. I have been in touch with the FDA about it. Don't chance it!!!

Didn't take it long enough to notice any diff. I went back to using Kevis shampoo. I had excellent results in the past as it has a patented formula to block/remove dht which is main cause of hair loss in men. However, I feel I also had some success with "hair essentials" which is supposed to be for men and women. Slowed hair loss and balding spot seemed to reverse.

My derfmatologist My dermatologist recommended I switch from 2% Minoxidil solution to men 5% foam and it works very well. As Rogaine (or generic minoxidil) is no witch medecine, I strongly suggest you consult your own doctor. Pregnant women and those with heart condition must avoid self-medication.

I have been using this product for about two months and my barber has seen growth on the back of my head last time I was there.I was really looking at the front of my head this morning and I see new hair starting to grow. I hope this was helpful to you

I think it depends on the person. I've noticed more restorative health and not so much a lot of new hair growth, but I am about to order my next bottle and I hope to see better hair growth results this next go round.

There is a conditioner for the #1 system , keep in mind that the system is depending on your hair type. I choose #6 because I have thick coarse hair. I believe this system is working but if you really want to see a difference get this shampoo and conditioner based on your hair type and purchase minoxidil for men 5 and up believe me yor hair will actually grow back. I am a woman and I did this of course I used the minoxidil for woman and in thirty days my hair is growing back!

Yes I did, I felt if I didn't my hair was too dry. And as an FYI to you after I finished two huge bottles of conditioner I am now only using the shampoo and using another conditioner to provide better moisture to my hair. Hopefully if you are trying to regrow hair you are also using 5% minoxidil. The combination of the shampoo with the minoxidil really works I had growth back in one month. The shampoo alone won't do that, it only stops the follicles from clogging ok good luck!

Regenepure's Minoxidil has a Spray nozzle that prevents wasted product and is made of very high quality minoxidil. Please let me know if i can be of any other assistance. Sincerely, David Luxury Barber Customer Service

It could be you are using too much, I use very little and only on my hairless spots. I also try to spread it around in that area. It does make my hair seem thicker.

I feel like it did for me, but not substantially. But any hair that grew back was the same amount I previously had. I tried it for awhile and quit.

I've only been using the product for a couple weeks but i think my hair is getting thicker. Will need to continue monitoring the progress. :)

It definitely stays in all day, I just sprinkle in the morning and it stays in. I also wash my hair everyday so I don't know how long it will actually stay in. I guess 0.42 lasts different for everyone. I only sprinkle near my bangs. But some people (especially men with male baldness) use more. I always get the big bottle so I dont run out.

This product does nothing to really thicken hair--at least for me it didn't. You might look into Lipogaine for women. It is 2% minidoxl (sp?) and if you stay with it for 3 months, it does give hair body, and helps with regrowth. Also, a good hair vitamin such as Hair Essentials, which I really saw a difference. A little expensive, but hair is important to a woman, so for me this combo seems to be working. Also try Nioxin #4 Shampoo--it helps Stop hair loss. These are what I'm using, and plan to keep using. My hair is long and I'm over 60.
