I use the 5% solution. The box says that women should not use it. The 1% solution is what Rogain for Women is, which is exactly what the original Rogain for men was. It was just re-boxed into a more feminine label.
Well...
Anyway, I've had very good results from it after just a few weeks. I could see new growth starting very quickly. And after six months, my hair is becoming full enough and long enough that I can have it styled properly. I am very happy with it.
If you do some research, you'll find that the problem with women using the stronger concentrate, is the possibility of accidentally growing hair where it is inappropriate for women to grow hair, like on their face! Number one, I have just about finished having all my beard hair removed so there is less of a chance of that happening. Also, according to the research, if you are very precise about washing your hands after applying the solution there is less chance of facial hair growth when you touch your face.
The thing is, do remember that this is a long term commitment. If you stop using it, you will start to lose the hair that you grew. And it is possible to lose *more* hair than when you started so be aware.
Just do it, Rita!!!
