Hi all,

As it has just been Christmas I thought I'd spread some festive cheer and provide some hope to anyone who finds themselves in the same position I did.

For the past six months I have using Regaine Foam twice daily, along with Regenepure DR Hair loss shampoo 3 times weekly. I apply the regain to the front of my hair line which had been thinning dramatically over the previous couple of years. I also apply it to my crown, however this is more of a preemptive measure.

Previously I used Alpecin Shampoo for a year or so, which despite making my hair feel thicker, I felt it made it dryer and more prone to falling out.

The 3 attached photos show my hairline in June when I started the treatment, a month in where I could begin to see some new hairs coming through and at the end of August, three months into the treatment. As you can see the results are quite dramatic for such a short period of time.

However, I currently (at six months in) find myself somewhere in between what the above images show, I believe this is due to a second shed which I have seen some precedent for online. I will most likely update any further progress/changes on here.

nice result man ! so the second photo was one month treatment?
Thanks! Yeah, you can see some hairs coming through on the right hand side. I was pretty surprised to see results so quickly especially when I was bracing myself for a huge shed.

Possibly an extremely small bit of both now that I think about it but barely noticeable in either case.

you mean more body hair ? this is my main concern about minoxidil.
Nah, literally just a few extra hairs on my lower cheeks which might not have anything to do with Regaine. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I'm so far a really good fast responder to minoxidil

i did not get increase of body hair at all

i did get my facial hair darkened a little and around my forehead (baby hair line) i got more baby hairs and a little bit of hair around eyes....i see these differences really in the magnifying mirror...i dont think they are that noticeable yet to other people i am also brunette so this maybe why its not crazy noticeable...My hair colorist is brutally honest person next time i see her i am going to show her and ask her how noticeable.

honestly as a woman i am not even worried about it if it continues or darkens more i am just going to have it lasered off at dermatologist.

I see women on hair loss forums giving up on minoxidil because they got some facial hair...its MUCH easier to get rid of hair on face or body than grow hair on head.
