Comment:
I am a female who used Rogaine to replace some frontal hair loss due to my blood pressure medication. The product did work with hair growth after a month's or so use, so it was effective. First I will say that the solution is syrupy, and makes the hair somewhat sticky, making hair styling difficult.
