A very common question among men of all ages and women is does Rogaine really work. For men and women alike losing your hair or going bald can be a troubling circumstance. Nobody wants to see their head full of hair suddenly start to thin out. Cosmetically speaking it can be very emotionally devastating as your hair slowly falls out. Consequently people have for hundreds of years have searched for a cure for baldness and general hair loss. So far in the United States there are only two FDA approved treatments for hair loss Rogaine and Propecia. As a side note minoxidil is Rogaine in generic form. So after considerable research I decided to try Rogaine before anything else.In the future I might incorporate Propecia and a laser comb.

Rogaine Dropper or Spray

Another question I had and many people have as well besides “Rogaine once or twice a day” is should I use the dropper or spray. The spray is meant for men and women, so if you are a female the dropper can be used on your scalp. Using the dropper is much easier than trying to spray your scalp and can reach all the spots that you require. If you are a male, then it depends on what type of hair loss you have. If you are in the early stages of hair loss, then using the dropper is recommended. 

It is now been a few weeks of daily usage and I now have my personal favorite which I will share with you now. I initially started with the spray simply because my bottle of Rogaine was given to me with a spray attachment already on it. I used it like that for the first couple of days and noticed some “cooling” sensation around my scalp area. It was a very refreshing feeling, but one to go away rather quickly. The cooling sensation is a result of the alcohol content in the formula. In the beginning, I thought the spray was quite efficient and would be very easy to use however it soon became very apparent that a lot of the Rogaine was sprayed onto my hair and not directly into my scalp. The dropper works much better and although it takes longer to apply, the dropper is much more efficient. I now found it most effective to use the dropper once or twice a day.

In case you didn’t know minoxidil has to penetrate the scalp in order to work, it does not work if applied to the hair itself. In other words, it must touch your head and not your hair. So by using the dropper, you ensure that all the minoxidil is going directly to your scalp. Some of you may be very skeptical about using the dropper and in honesty, it is much easier to use the spray. I recommend trying both options and see which one works for you. If you’re lucky enough to have a lot of hair on your head like me then using the spray can make things much more complicated and inefficient. So, after while trying the Rogaine spray attachment I switch over to the dropper and I couldn’t be any happier. The Rogaine dropper makes things so much easier and as efficient as possible. After some research on the Internet and on YouTube I found my current routine of applying minoxidil every day now. In short, is very simple and direct, first give a good shaking to the bottle of Rogaine.

Next draw one mL of Rogaine or whatever dosage you use into the dropper. Now all you have to do is simply squeeze a few drops all around your head with the minoxidil directly to the scalp bypassing any hair you might have. The key to regrowing hair is to take the steps below at your earliest convenience. You will start to see results within a few weeks, at which time you will be able to grow thicker and denser hair. At this point, many people seem to like to rub in the minoxidil with their fingers or simply leave it alone and let it dry on its own. Personally, I like to comb through it with a bristle brush in order to help the minoxidil spread out across my scalp and that’s it. My best advice to you at this point is to simply experiment and stick with a routine that best fits your needs!

In conclusion, try to find what suits you best. There are hundreds of different routines here, including some with minoxidil. Just remember that minoxidil is the most critical ingredient, and as long as you’re getting that in your regimen, the rest of it is up to you. Just don’t forget that no matter if you decide to use it or not, make sure that you get your hands on a good regimen for hair growth. Sure, there are tons of options out there for your billions of hairs and follicles! You might just have to mix and match a few methods in order to find the right one for you. It is very important to remember that minoxidil does not work for everybody. While it brings about quick results, it may not be the best solution for everyone; so, choose whatever suits you best.
