Has anyone used Rogain for Women and has it worked?

Hi Lady,..I am also wondering the same question...I am 35 and very thin on my crown but I live in Canada and they don't sell it here for women yet, just for men. I hope some women out there answer this post with any tips or suggestions because I'm sure there are more women with thinning hair these days than years ago... Right now I use a hair concealer to color my scalp to reduce the contrast between my hair and my scalp and it works pretty good but I would like to stop any more from thinning! Good Luck!!

several years back my husband tried it and it did nothing for him..which if i had to guess was probably what it did for most people who tried it..you see very few ads on tv for it anymore..and i am thinking that is because it really didnt work on the majority of people..but i suppose that if i had thinning hair i would try anything ..good luck

i have and am using rogaine for men.....my derm was the one to tell me to use the product!she said to use the one for men verses the one for women the 2% isn't effective but the 6 for men is.i have been using it for 3 and a half months and where i was experencing hair, alng my temples yes i am getting new hair growth!!!the down side to using rogaine is some women might experience facial hair growht if you do just quit using and hair growth will discontinue, and fall out.
