Quote from: LoriDee on Yesterday at 09:36:40 PMI think shaving is a smart idea. If the topper is tugging at the hairs, it could be painful and possibly damage the follicles. You don't need that. I forgot to mention, the prescription strength of the Rogaine they sent me is for men.
Quote from: imallie on Yesterday at 09:33:21 PMIs Minoxidyl much stronger than Rogaine?
Quote from: Moonflower on Today at 04:41:54 AMRogaine is the brand name for 5% Minoxidil. Minoxidil is available in several strengths (%) by prescription. A former dermatologist of mine prescribed a specific 7% formulation that cost a fortune, so we never tried it. We understood that it works best on recently-lost hairs.Minoxidil was originally prescribed in pill form for high blood pressure.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6691938/Doctors noticed that increased hair growth (including facial hair) was a side effect of the oral dose. When applied to the scalp, it should only increase hair growth where it touches. Foam seems to be easier to use than the liquidy solution. Lots more info at that government website.
