Mercedes, there are many different types of alcohols, and not all of them are bad on our hair. That's the problem with reading labels without understanding the context. I agree, we are definitely here to support each other. I have gotten great advice and tips from people on this forum!

Buckthorn, Wen has been all over the new for causing hair loss. Here are the facts: when people start using a new product (Wen or anything else), they stop using their old products. Because the protein complexes of the old products are no longer gluing the ends of the hair together, they see...

July, 2016 Update The thinning from the Men's Rogaine is still noticeable. It's reversing, but it will take time. I know not to use the men's version anymore. My hairline is completely filled in. The hairs are course and dark. My crown is also completely filled in. The hairs are fine...

David, you have to be consistent. From what I read on the Wen forums, it should be used 2-3 times per week.

January 2016 Update I am still seeing positive results from the consistent use of both products. A few months ago, I could not find the women's Rogain nor the generic 3 month supply. I bought the men's (5% minoxidil instead of 2.5%). On my hairline, I am getting the same thinning results...

Thank you, ID Walker! I have been using Rogaine for 2+ years and it has taken that entire time to see results. It's a slow and steady process as well as a lifetime commitment. I think a lot of people have an issue with that.

June 2015 Update I haven't checked in due to being busy with life. I still use Rogaine for Women everyday, twice a day on my hair line and crown. The results are slow but steady. I still use Wen Tea Tree 2-3 times a week all over my head. My hairline is finally a hairline again. I'm...

January 2015 Update I have fine, straight hairs all over my head! The edges of my hairline are dark and full. The space in between my edges and my hairline is full of thin, fine hairs. I can see them starting to thicken. I am still buying the Rogaine for Women.

Update for November 2014: I still use Rogaine for Women at my crown and the edge of my hairline. I'm down to my last bottle, but will continue to buy it; at least a few more. I still use Wen Tea Tree Oil and cleansing conditioner at least twice a week. The new hairs along my hairline are...

My update for October, 2014: I still use Wen Tea Tree Oil and Rogaine in the manner above. I now use Wen Tea Tree Cleansing Conditioner twice a week. My hairline has completely filled in. I have no more bald, bare or thin spots. It's long enough for me to curl the hairs around my fingers...

Call the Rogaine Hotline and ask them. You can find their number on their website. They were very helpful when I called them.

Here's my update for September, 2014: ROGAINE I still use it twice a day on my crown and the edge of my hairline that frames my face. The growth is starting to thicken and it's steady. The new hair on my crown isn't the same texture as the rest of my hair, but it has grown to the same length...

I was going to look into hair transplants if Rogaine for Women didn't work. Luckily, it did.

MDM, why was the transplant so bad? I use Rogaine for Women (2% minoxidil) and I see results. I've been using it since 4/13. Here are somethings to keep in mind: Rogaine is a lifetime commitment: twice a day, every day. It takes about 4 months to kick in. During that time, you will see...

Sure, okay john. I'm still using Wen Tea Tree twice a week. I use Rogaine for Women twice daily in 2 areas instead of 3. The new hairs that I feel on my scalp (non-Rogaine areas) are now stubbly instead of fuzzy. The Rogaine areas are longer but still downy. - - - Updated - - - I am not...
