My hair is getting thin on one side of my face and in spite of all the vitamins and shampoos its not getting any better. Does anyone use Rogaine and what strength do you use? I would love some feedback.

I haven't used Rogaine, but my husband tried it.  He quit using it because it burned and itched his scalp. I have had success using a combination of The Ordinary hair peptides serum and treatments with a Theradome laser helmet (Costco).

Thank you. I will look into the last helmet.

If you go to Rogaine dot com website, scroll to the bottom and then click the FAQ link. There is an entire section of questions just for women. Very helpful in all aspects of hair loss and not just about the Rogaine product itself.

 

Thinning on one side only can be the result of an injury/trauma or just from the way you style your hair.

I can't use Rogaine.  Makes my scalp itch.

I bought a box of 3 dropper bottles of rogaine (2%) and am on the third bottle. I think it is helping and I plan to continue after this trail run.

 

I have used a laser helmet too the last three years and it definitely makes difference as well. I'm kind of giving it the ol' one-two punch now with both.
