Product reviews of Minoxidil-5% Extra Strength Hair Regrowth for Men, 6 Month Supply
Review: Didn't work for me. A very painful and frustrating experience.
Beauty product: 2 Stars
The review is for Minoxidil in general. I started loosing some hair in the front and went into a panic mode around the same time last year (Aug-Sep 2009). I went through the internet for solutions and most of them pointed to using Minoxidil or similar products. Although hair transplant was the other suggested alternative it seemed very expensive. So I opted to try this solution. To ensure Minoxidil would be effective I completely shaved my head and started using it all over my head rather than just the spot where I was losing my hair. I started with Rogaine until I realized this was a much cheaper option.
Results...
1. It took much longer to grown my hair. My scalp was visible even after 3-4 months of shaving my head. This was never the case until I tried Rogaine (minoxidil).
2. Once the hair grew to a certain length I realized it had to be strictly applied twice a day. I was following it earlier too, but now on days when I skipped once, my hair would just feel much thinner and then I could see it in the bath tub when I showered.
3. I couldn't quite apply any type of hair cream, gel or oil. If I did I had to be extra careful that day. Couldn't wear a cap/hat, couldn't wet my hair and if I did wear a cap it was embarrassing to take it off. A bald spot in the front would be clearly visible. To add to it if I did any of these, again my hair would suddenly become very thin and I could see a bunch in the bath tub.
4. Initially the scalp started to feel very dry but then it started to itch so badly I couldn't sleep at nights. The predicament was I couldn't scratch much either due to the fear of losing more hair.
Overall the experience has been bad for me. The period I've used this product has been embarrassing for me. People have avoided making eye contact, sometimes plainly ignoring. Trust me, people (specially girls) would rather talk to a guy with shaved head than with someone having a bald spot. The time and effort to keep the "treatment" going is tremendous and to add to the misery its not worth it. off. I've stopped using the product completely now and am hoping whatever hair I had before I started using this will return back sooner than later. Yet again I've shaved my head and am trying to keep the scalp moisturized and healthy. Its been more than a month since I shaved my head. Although the growth is not very significant I very very rarely see any hair falling off.
This paragraph is not related to the product itself so you can opt to skip it. The underlying reason for hair loss in my case was probably too much coffee and/or release of sexual hormones. I've cut down on the coffee intake and work out more. I'm sure working out, sweating more and burning calories does make a significant difference. I'm a vegetarian and consuming protein in forms like beans, lentils, and tofu has helped.
I'm still thankful to the makers of this product for whatever little hope it gave me during that panic mode, hence the 2 star rating.
Review: Does not work on receeding hairline
Beauty product: 4 Stars
The product says it does not work on receeding hairlines but i figure i still give it a try. Its true it does not work on receeding hairlines but it does grow more thick hair towards bald spots. I reccommend this to everyone.. Review: Fair
Beauty product: 3 Stars
Product appears to be OK, but was poorly packaged and the boxes arrived badly dented. The bottles inside are OK, or at least the ones I have checked of the six in total in two separate boxes. I did contact the seller and heard NO response. Review: Fake** NOT
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I have written that this product can be fake but I am sorry. After using it for 2 months my hair started to grow. The first thing I notice is tiny little hairs growing from my head. Sorry again from the dealer
And I recommend this product becouse it is working and cheap
Review: Fast shipping & friendly communication
Beauty product: 5 Stars
Very fast shipment, I don't think there is a need to choose a faster shipping method. Moreover, when I asked about their policy regarding return/exchange, they replied to me promptly and respectifully.
