Minoxidil-5% Extra Strength Hair Regrowth for Men, 3 Count, 2 Ounce Bottles

I'm 25 years old and male pattern baldness runs in my family. I bought this product 2 months ago and have already seen significant regrowth. When I bought it, I thought that if I could at least slow down my hair loss, I would be satisfied. When I bought it I figured at worst I had only wasted ~20 bucks and if it didn't work I was going to shave my head. I didn't actually expect to grow back hair so when I noticed that hair was growing back (a family member actually noticed it before I did)I was pleasantly surprised.The hair first started growing back about 3 weeks ago (so I had been using the product for 5 weeks) and it is still growing back. I assume it will reach a point at which it has reached it's maximum potential and stop growing back but that has not happened yet. The product says that it is not meant to treat a receding hairline, but I applied it to my receding hairline and all over the top part of my scalp and it has worked everywhere. It even says that hair growth is not expected to occur in places where it it has been devoid of hair for quite some time, but this was the case with my receding hairline where it is indistinguishable from my forehead in regards to the amount of hair (none) and hair grew back.You have to apply this product 2 times a day but you can miss days. I missed a couple of days but I never made up for it; I just continued on with the normal dose as the instructions say to do.As I see them, here are the pros and cons:Pros:- It does it's job; hair has actually grown back in as little as 5 weeks.- Comes with a dropper and you only have to use it 2 times a day. Easy to apply.- Amazing bargain for what it does. The 6 month supply is very nice.o This doesn't really have anything to do with the product itself, but the delivery was fast. I got it the very next day even though I didn't pay for next day delivery.Cons:- When it dries, it flakes up and looks like dandruff in your hair. If you can help it, it's best to apply it 2 hours or so before you have to go anywhere, and then check in the mirror for the excess flakes and remove them accordingly.- Turned my pillow a brownish color but it washed out, so no big deal.- Makes my scalp itch slightly. Not real bad though.- If you stop using it, your new hair will fall out. You have to use it for life.All in all, a great product. You can't beat the price for something as important as keeping your hair. Until some new technology is developed that allows me regrow and keep my hair for a cheaper price, I will continue buying and using this product. The cons are a very small price to pay for the enormous benefits.

Excellent product with great price

Works wonders for growing back hair, would recommend to anyone that needs it!

It's a bit too early to say whether this helps (most sources agree that it takes 4-6 months to see results from Minoxidil) but the packaging and formulation are good and easy to use. Comes with one dropper you can switch between the three bottles, and the unscented formula goes on pretty cleanly. It is a tiny bit "sticky" so if you get it on your hands you will be able to feel that it's there. Not as bad as some other products for hair loss I've seen, though.

Works great if you stay consistent

I've been using Minoxidil 5% for 2 weeks.- My scalp feels a little itchy.- I've noticed some extra hair shedding (which is normal at first).- No big results yet, but I'm staying patient.It's easy to use, and I haven't had any bad reactions.I'll keep using it and share an update later!

Alright, this is going to be a little long but I have been using minoxidil 5% as directed for a year now and since they say the best results won't be seen until about a year, I'm finally ready to write a review. First a little background on me...I'm 25 now and was around 18 when I noticed my hair falling out. However, I started out with pretty thick hair so I didn't notice it becoming visibly thinner until I was 21. Hair loss runs in my family and is worse on my dad's side. He and both his brother's have pattern 5 class 7 balding on the Norwood scale. For anyone who isn't familiar with the Norwood scale, that is the worst possible balding. The entire top is hairless and you just have hair on the sides and back of your head. So after watching my hair become thinner and thinner for three years, I started using minoxidil when I was 24. At first I didn't like the oiliness that it gave my hair. Like a lot of people have said, it takes a long time to dry (probably about an hour). However, after a few months I started to like the texture of my hair better after the minox had dried than if I just let my hair dry without putting anything in it. And to avoid that hour period where it looks really oily I started using a blow dryer, holding it pretty far from my head just for a few seconds to get it almost dry. The first couple months of using it, it kind of made my head itch sometimes but that never happens anymore and it wasn't as bad for me as it apparently is for some people. Another problem I had with it was what I first thought was dandruff but later realized was just the dried minoxidil flaking off my scalp. This can be avoided to some degree by washing your hair everyday but I still get little flakes sometimes. So after two or three weeks I thought I was entering the shedding phase. It never really stopped though and I'm not sure if I was shedding more than I was before I started using it. My bathroom sink still constantly has hair in and around it. After a month or so of using it I started getting peach fuzz in the front corners and to this day it is still peach fuzz - short, clear and not visible from more than a few inches away. As for my hair everywhere else, I'd say it's about the same as when I started using it - maybe a little thinner but maybe a little less thin than it would have been if I hadn't been using this stuff. In conclusion, I'm going to keep using this stuff because I don't think it hurts and it makes me feel like I'm doing something to fight my MPB. I've tried Saw Palmetto supplement, Nioxin and Revivogen shampoo and, as with the minox, I'm not sure if they make any difference. But kirkland minoxidil is super cheap so even though I haven't seen obvious hair regrowth or less shedding, I'm going to keep using it.
