Can Using Rogaine Inhibit Natural Hair Regrowth?
I’m a 28 year old woman who suffered a bit of diffuse hair loss at the front of my scalp. I have always had thick dark curly hair but started losing hair as consequence of being treated with a medication for anxiety. I have been told that it will regenerate by itself once I stop the medication. But, I am still taking this medication and obviously I dont want to keep losing hair so my doctor has given me some vitamins and also Rogaine for 6 months. I’m only on the first month of using Rogaine and I havent noticed any improvement yet. I was just wanderig what will happen once I finish both treatments. I’m planning to stop the medication in two months. I’ve read that once you quit Rogaine your hair goes back as it was. Is this going to affect my natural hair regrowth? Will my hair keep thick after Rogaine if this is my natural? Is Rogaine appropriate for me?
Many thanks for any advise!
Rogaine (minoxidil) will not impact normal hair. If you have no side effects from its use, you can apply it as directed twice a day and wait out 8-12 months to see if it works. You won’t notice anything in the first month, and if you stop the medication in 2 months you’re not going to get any benefits. Why would you even bother starting it?
