How to Use Rogaine

Has your hair seemed thinner in back, and you want to take care of that? Rogaine may be the way to go. Rogaine is a brand name for the drug minoxidil, which is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regrow hair in men with hereditary male pattern baldness and to help hair growth in women with thinning hair.Application is quick and easy, and we'll show you what's involved. Read on!

Method 1 of 3: Applying Rogaine

1. 
   1
   Wash your hair and scalp thoroughly. Towel or blow-dry your hair as desired. You can apply Rogaine to damp hair.

2. 
   2
   Rinse your hands in cold water and dry well.
3. 
   3
   Prepare the solution. Rogaine comes in two forms: liquid (for men and women) and foam (for men).
   • Liquid: Load the applicator. Fill the applicator with 1ml Rogaine solution, or use 20 drops.
   • Foam: Invert the can and dispense about 1/2 a cap full of foam onto your fingers.
4. 
   4
   Apply Rogaine to your scalp. Part your hair where it's thinning, and evenly apply the Rogaine to the affected area, rubbing it in with your fingers. Wash any residue off your hands.
5. 
   5
   Let it dry. Allow the applied Rogaine to dry completely—about 20 to 25 minutes—before adding other hair-styling products such as gels, mousses. Apply it about 2 hours before going to bed.^[2]
6.

   Repeat this process as recommended. Generally, this is twice a day—in the morning, and in the evening—or as often as your doctor recommends.

Method 2 of 3: Using Rogaine Effectively

1. 
   1
   Make it a habit. Rogaine is not a permanent cure for baldness, and will only be effective as long as you use it at least twice a day, every day.
   • Use your phone to set a twice-a-day reminder, until it becomes an automatic habit.
2. 
   2
   Use the recommended amount of Rogaine. Additional amounts or more frequent applications will not improve your results; you'll only waste product.
3. 
   3
   Don't make up missed applications. If you skip an application, don't double up the next day. Simply pick back up where you left off.

Method 3 of 3: What to Expect

1. 
   1
   Expect shedding hair. While it seems counter-intuitive, shedding hair means that new growth has begun. This may last a few weeks, but it is just temporary: the shedding hair is older hair that would have fallen out, making room for the newer, healthier hair.^[3]
2. 
   2
   Be patient. New hair growth usually takes about four months, though some have results earlier than that. New hair growth may be soft and downy, like peach fuzz.
• Eventually, new hairs growing in will be the same color and thickness as your normal hair. To maintain this growth, you will need to continue using Rogaine.

How Rogaine works ? ( Rogaine Malaysia)

 

 

How Rogaine works?

Rogaine works by revitalizing shrunken hair follicles, thus increasing their size. When you use Rogaine every day, your follicles may increase in size, and the growing phase may become longer. This may then produce longer, thicker hairs.

Rogaine is a clear alcohol-based solution and should be applied to a person’s thinning area with its supplied dropper or spray twice a day.

The solution is approved and available in two strengths -- Regular (2%) and Extra Strength (5%). Individual users of regular strength Rogaine have claimed success rates of 30-40%. Meanwhile, users of Extra Strength Rogaine have claimed success rates of 50-60%. Currently, the average price for a 2oz. bottle of Rogaine is about $20-30 per month. Minoxidil is also available as a generic and can be purchased over the counter without prescription.

It’s important to note that Rogaine (minoxidil) does not cure baldness and scientists have been unable to determine just how it works. What is known is that Rogaine increases the blood flow to the areas of the scalp that surround these balding areas. Currently some researchers believe that Rogaine (minoxidil) works by opening the follicle’s potassium channels located in the cells. It’s theorized that these channels, when opened, may regulate hair growth.

Rogaine can’t grow hair on completely bald scalps or in the frontal hairline areas. It has been found to be somewhat effective in maintaining or growing hair in the crown area (the top back of the head). However, Rogaine is only effective at delaying hair loss. It is also more effective in women than in men. And again, the reasons for this are not understood.

What can I expect with Rogaine?

Rogaine (minoxidil) generally only regrows hair in a minority of men and women. In most cases, the best case scenario for hair growth with these treatments is a thin coverage of thin hair.

The real benefits of Rogaine (minoxidil) is keeping what hair you have or slowing your thinning. Rogaine’s success depends on how advanced your hair loss has become.

You must apply it to your scalp twice a day for life to get and maintain any benefits. Research shows that using Rogaine (minoxidil) only once a day is ineffective. If you stop taking Rogaine (minoxidil) you will lose whatever hair you preserved or regrew within 2 to 4 months. And while Rogaine may stimulate hair growth, it may not prevent the hair follicles from their eventual deterioration.

It’s also true that Rogaine’s effects may diminish over time. Some doctors believe that patients can build up a tolerance after many years of use.

Are there side effects from Rogaine?

There are only minor side effects with Rogaine. But some users do experience certain problems such as scalp irritation, itching, and dandruff. However, this can be treated with a good shampoo like Nizoral or Neutrogena T-Gel. There may also be an increase in hair shedding at the start of the treatment. You shouldn’t panic, as this may actually be a signal that the treatment is working.

Due to the medication’s alcohol content, some users may develop a contact rash or irritated skin. And with excessive doses, some users may experience dizziness or a rapid heartbeat. However, with normal use these effects are uncommon.

Rogaine users with severe, refractory high blood pressure experienced some problems. One such problem was “hypertrichosis,” hair growth on the face or other bodily areas. This side effect appears in about 3-5 % of women who use the 2% solution, and higher among women using the 5% solution.

Rogaine and Hair Transplants.

Some hair restoration physicians have come to consider Rogaine to be instrumental right after surgery. This is especially true when grafts have been placed in and around existing hair.

The shock of surgery can result in temporary hair loss. Rogaine is thought to possibly help prevent this temporary loss of healthy preexisting hair. The 5% solution has been found to be more effective for men and women. However, some physicians believe that the medication should be stopped a week or two before surgery. They feel that Rogaine may increase bleeding, while dilating blood vessels.
