I tried Rogaine Foam on two separate occasions but the alcohol in it caused my scalp to itch like crazy! Ladies I strongly suggest asking your doctor to check your iron and thyroid levels as these two deficiencies are quite often the cause for hair loss in women. Both my tests came back slightly low and I was prescribed medication/supplements to bring them back to a normal level. best thing I did in a long time as the hair shedding reduced by at least 50% which was good but still some room for improvement. I then purchased Rogaine foam 5% online and tried it for about a week, took a break and tried again but couldn't get past the horrid burning sensation.

After that came a phase of trialing different hair loss products: Nioxin, Alpecin, Sebamed, Divine Herbal etc etc. Results varied - some quite good, some did nothing whatsoever. My favorite (although a bit pricey!) was Divine Herbal hair oil as the shedding stopped almost completely after a few weeks using it and my hair thickened up too in the crown area and temples around the 4 month stage (or possibly 5, can't remember exactly). And make sure your shampoo doesn't contain harsh chemicals such as SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) as this can damage the hair. Mine's a whole lot better since switching to chemical-free.    -
