Will Rogaine® For Women help me keep
the hair I have and prevent further hair loss?
In a user survey from clinical studies, four out of five women
reported that Rogaine helped to slow or stop their hair loss.
Can I use hair sprays, mousses, gels, conditioners or other
styling aids, while using Rogaine For Women?
Yes. Hair sprays, spritzes or styling aids can be used on hair while
using Rogaine For Women. Simply apply Rogaine For Women first and
wait for it to dry approximately 20 minutes before applying any
styling aids.
How soon can I expect results by using Rogaine For Women?
Since it takes a normal hair follicle about one month to grow ˝
inch, it will also take Rogaine For Women some time to work.
Continued use of Rogaine For Women twice a day for at least four
months is usually needed before you notice hair regrowth. It may
take up to eight months to see your best results.
When you first begin to use Rogaine For Women, your hair thinning
or shedding may increase for two to four weeks. This hair thinning
is temporary and happens because Rogaine For Women is stimulating
the hair growth cycle, so that old hair is being pushed out to
prepare for new growth. If you continue to experience increased hair
thinning after four weeks, see your doctor.
Should I try Rogaine For Women even though I am not
experiencing hair loss?
No, Rogaine For Women should only be used if you are experiencing
hereditary hair loss. If you think you are losing your hair for any
other reason, consult with your doctor.
What is the dosage?
You should apply a dose (1mL) of Rogaine For Women directly to the
scalp in the hair loss area twice daily, once in the morning and
once at night. The nighttime application should occur 2-4 hours
before you go to bed to allow for drying. Each bottle should last
about a month, if used as directed.
Each applicator is designed to deliver the recommended dose
directly to the scalp. If you are using the dropper, fill up the
dropper to the 1mL line marked on the dropper. If you are using the
extended sprayer, use 6 sprays. Rub into the scalp with your
fingers, then wash your hands.
What happens if I get new hair regrowth and I stop using
Rogaine For Women?
Continuous use of Rogaine For Women is needed to maintain the hair
you've regrown. If you stop using Rogaine For Women, the hair
follicles that are genetically predetermined to hair thinning will
return to their shortened growth cycle and will eventually stop
growing hair. It will probably take about three to four months for
you to lose your newly regrown hair after you discontinue use of
Rogaine For Women.
Can I have my hair colored or permed while using Rogaine For
Women?
Yes. We have no evidence that chemical services interfere with the
effectiveness of Rogaine For Women. However, certain people do
experience scalp irritation from chemical services and for that
reason we recommend the following precautions:
1. To avoid possible scalp irritation, inform your stylist and
make sure all the Rogaine For Women has been cleansed from the hair
and scalp prior to the service.
2. Do not apply Rogaine For Women for 24 hours after your service to
ensure your scalp has not been irritated. If no irritation has
occurred, resume use of Rogaine For Women. There is no need to use
more or to make up for missed applications.
Are there special instructions for washing my hair?
Yes. Be sure that after using a mild cleansing shampoo, such as
Progaine®, you towel dry or blow-dry your hair. Your scalp should be
dry before applying Rogaine For Women. You don't want the hair and
scalp to be wet or the solution may run off the scalp.
Can I style my hair as usual while using Rogaine For Women?
Yes. Since Rogaine For Women is applied to the scalp, not the hair,
it should not affect the way you normally style your hair. Simply
apply Rogaine For Women first, then style as usual.
What if I miss a dose or forget to use Rogaine For Women?
If you miss a dose, just continue with your next dose. You should
not make up for missed doses.
Can I use Rogaine For Women more than two times a day?
Will it work better or faster?
No. Rogaine For Women will not work better or faster if used more
than two times a day. Studies have been carefully conducted to
determine the correct amount of Rogaine For Women needed to get the
best results. More frequent use or larger doses have not been shown
to speed up hair regrowth and may increase your chances of side
effects.
