Title: Regaine for hair loss
Post by: jaycee on October 18, 2020, 10:22:25 PM

I have posted before about my hair loss,and seeing a dermatologist, but fed up now and trying Regaine
Anyone had any success with it? and how long if so before you saw results if any

jaypo.,what is she using,the 2% for women which is liquid, or the 5% extra strength,i started with the 2% but it seemed to trickle everywhere so trying the 5% which is foam, but it makes my hair sticky like mousse, as i have a lot of hair otherwise apart from the patches, so it is hard to keep it from touching,
I will be very interested to see how your daughter gets on
There is someone else on MM who has used it with success, but can't remember who it is
Maybe she will see this and comment
I have had no tingling by the way
