If Rogaine Worked in My Hairline, Should It Work in the Crown?

I’ve been using Rogaine for about a year now with good success on my hairline, and recently started using it for my crown. I’m adding Nizoral 1% to my routine every third day–what should I expect? Further stabilization? Nothing?

Although it is a good shampoo, Nizoral (ketoconazole) isn’t proven to regrow hair. Some people suggest it has benefits for hair growth, but I’ve written about that before.

But as for expectations, I’d expect Rogaine to help in the crown now that you’ve started using it there (particularly if you had success in the hairline, which is rare). I suppose it depends on how you define success.
