No one ever comes on here not sure why as seems to be plenty with hair loss problems.

I was told I could give it a go the regaine but decided not to at the mo.

Life long commitment can have a massive shed after first use and think twice a day.

Think the foam less messy than the liquid and its quite expensive to use for ever messy with no guarantees of sucess.

I sometimes think I should try it as mine is getting no better but every day a big commitment really.

Use google for revues some say yes some say no .

I also worry as I get lots allergies and it can dry scalp and make it sore too.

Mine is diffuse hairloss all over no patches or pattern just loads shedding and strand thinning away to nothing like cobweb hair.

Sorry I'm not much help.
