After 4 months of Regaine 5%, should I stop?

Question

I have been regularly using Regaine 5% foam for men for four months. Here I am reporting:

1. The shedding hasn't stopped since I started using Regaine, especially in the frontal line, and the remaining hair is curly and weak. But I am not sure if this is because of the original alopecia pattern or Regaine increased it.

2. There is some good new hair regrowth, however, the new hair is thin and light colored. So that it cannot be counted yet!

QUESTION: The overall situation is worse than 4 months before when I started, should I give it an additional couple of months, or stop?

Kind Regards.

Answer

By 6 months most people will have a pretty good sense as to whether or not Rogaine is going to help and just how much it's going to help. You may want to check with your physician but for most people it's very appropriate to continue until at least the 6 month mark before deciding.

I don't know. Some people have a lot of ego tied up in having hair (men) however in my case, the moment I stopped growing my hair thinned really badly; it slowed down after 3 years (when it had mostly gone). For 30 years almost now I give myself a number zero or one on the hair cutter. I don't think anyone cares.

In women I thought the normal therapy to be hormonal.
