Help - thinking of using hair a-gain

[jay_waln]

Hi folks,

I've started losing my hair probably 3 years ago. Currently it's thinning at both crown and at the front of the scalp. I don't have a family history of hairloss, not sure why I'm losing my hair. I don't have any health problems, the only thing that I can think of is that I used to have dry scalp and dandruffs few years a go which I could not care to fix it. I'm 31 years old and thinking to use hair a-gain which is a generic brand, the gal in chemist told me that she has heard positive feedbacks from her customers.


My question is whether it will be okay to use it since the first question at the back of the package says " Only use if have a family history of hair loss."

Any of you guys in similar situation?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Jay

I get minoxidil for $17.00 for a 6 month supply of generic 5%. Although I am in the US and get mine from a Club Store there are alot of places elsewhere as Finfighter said to obtain it cheap as well.

minoxidil works and generic minoxidil works as well as name brand so no need to pay alot for it if you can help it.

That's quite expensive brother. May want to shop 5% generic minoxidil around a bit and save alot of money. I think you can do much better on that price no matter where you are located and remember.....GENERIC 5% is the same as NAME BRAND.
