It works but what they don't tell you is that you have to take it twice a day just to esentially maintain your current hair, with minimal growth. Plus it smells like alcohol. You can use extra strength, which will grow more hair, but it also leaves a nasty, dandruff type residue on your scalp in addition to the smell.

four years pass...

Will Rogaine grow hair in other areas of the body, even areas that don't typically grow hair?

Just curious, really.

You're taking your Beastie Boy role so seriously you want to grow a chest hair?

O that's not to Orbit... losing hair as a woman'd be awful, I imagine. Or at least seem it. Hopefully she meant for a boyf or something (or maybe not hopefully, if you're that worried you're weird). Gear pretty otm, I think... my cat hates my chest hair

It is important that my first post here be both drunk and relevant. Rogaine will grow peach fuzz on your head and stubble on your eyebrow area.

it works for both men and ladies, but you're better off to take it in Rx form, the topical is kinda nasty (my boss used it for a while and it did leave a dandruffy sort of look plus it only helped peach fuzz grow since the hair was already gone when he started using it. But...if you still have a good amount of hair and are using it since you are aware the hair is starting to go, why not give it a shot. If you can't afford or abide the surgery to graft hair to the bald areas that is. Personally, on a man, bald is sexy if you just have the attitude to carry it off as "damn I am sexy". Hair don't make the man IMO.

Balding women I feel really bad about. It is NOT socially acceptable to be a balding lady. However, women CAN get away with hairpieces and wigs; men CAN NOT.

PS, so Orbit isn't Laurel?

one year passes...

considering giving this a go, i'm not really too bald yet but apparently that's the time to use it? would be cool if i could get a bit more hair at the front of my head too...
