Does Rogaine actually work??

Im 17 years old, and Ive been losing my freaking hair since I was 15. It ***** big time, and Ive recently picked up a bottle of Rogaine, just in case in might actually work.

Thing is, I have never seen anyone suffering from hair loss regrow hair, so Im assuming Rogaine is a load of crap.

So is there anyone out there who can truthfully tell me it has worked on them???

I began loosing my hair during high school aswell. I was gonna try rogain and got a bottle of the foam. I was going to use it until i saw in the directions it said it could make ur hair fall out then (hopefully) new hair could begin to regrow. Well giving that i didnt want to risk increasing my hair lose i took it back to the store.

I use nioxin  http://www.thebeautyplace.com/beauty-products-hair-farouk-nioxin-brands.html?gclid=CM2lk7C0s58CFQ4MDQodEmEe1Q

It comes in 3 strengths 1 for mild hair loss, 2 for medium hair lose, and 3 for really thinning hair. I have been using the stuff every day for about 3 yrs now. My hair is still thinning but it has definitely slowed the process. My older brother was bald by age 23, I'm 24 and still have good coverage. However my oldest brother has been using it since he was in high school he is 28 now and still has a ton of hair.  Moral of the story if ur gonna try it start using it early.

The shampoo can be expensive you can find it at many hair saloons and haircut places. be sure to get the right strength, I myself am on 2 but think its time to move to 3.
