Should I begin a Rogain/minoxidil. treatment? New please help...

[jjamess02]

I am new to doing something about my hair loss. I have a few questions and would appreciate any advice. First off I have noticed a lot of people using the Rogain Foam and just wanted personal advice if I should start that or if it was to early and then my hair would rely on it and I would have to take it for the rest of my life. I really don't want to pop pills if I don't have to. I have just heard so many side effects, but then I have heard wonders from them. Basically I have the Revita shampoo on order and wanted to know if I should wait to see what that does, start on Rogain now, or wait because it's to early for me? I am currently 25. My hair started thinning in my tempural region about 2 years ago and now has started thinning on top. Just need some help.

Just use Revita...we wanna know how good it works!

But honestly, if you want more hair, you'll use more stuff, right? How can we tell you what you need when Revita just came out? And people respond different to treatments anyhow.

propecia = 1 mg finasterid
Proscar/Fincar = 5 mg that you cut into 4 or 5 pices .. its alot cheaper.

it all comes down to what you want to use.. i used rogain when i was 18 because i didnt know of finasterid. It worked ok for a while.. but it only grows new hair and doesnt help you save the hair.. so in the end it didnt work all that well.. now im on rogain and finasteride for the 3 month.. im 23 and im restoring my hairline.
I personaly would go with Finasterid and REvita shampo.
Never liked to use rogain 2 times a day.. but its easyer now with the foam.
It dryes in 2min.
