To the women on Rogaine/Regaine/Kirkland

[Stinger122]

Hey ladies, just wanted to ask how do all of you long haired women apply your rogaine/regaine etc?

Is it working for you?

Thanks!

Well Stinger, I just started using the Folligen spray yesterday. It is easy enough to get it on the front of my head but a PAIN in the *** to get to the back of my head. My thin areas are under layers of hair (which is a good thing, I know, but makes it very tough to apply anything). It took me close to an hr I think to get everything. But I think I will get better with time. Was that your question even ????

Hi Stinger,

I part my hair in 1 inch sections (in metrics that's what? 2.5 cm?) and apply several drops in each part, then rub in lightly with my fingers. As for the back, I just part a few times and apply, but I'm not terribly obsessive about it. I figure the system absorption will take care of everything.

Stinger,
My application method is pretty much the same as Maya's.

Thanks ladies, I ask because my hair is about 2 inches long and well I find it quite hard applying the stuff at times and I just hope it gets in the scalp! So I thought what better to ask then the ladies with long hair?

Anita, you did uhm answer it but.. You never stated HOW you apply Rogaine specifically so plop to you!

Thanks agaiN!

Oops, sorry Stinger...

I use many methods at once. For the front, I look for the bald areas and spray it on, rub it in a bit. Sometimes I just dip my finger in the folligen and dab my head. For the back I also put up my hair so that the balding areas show. Then I spray or use my fingers. Of course, the back is a lot harder... This is for Folligen but I understand that minoxidil is much greasier so I may have to try something else with minoxidil once I start it.

The women's Rogaine comes with an applicator that does not come in the men's kit. Correction- the Walgreen's version is like that.

this is a different tip that replaces the top nozzle on the pump. I think this is what you are looking for. Contact the company directly.
