Ok so I have a friend who lost her edges (perms etc...)and I feel her pain b/c mine are thin as well...
anywho we were talking about Rogaine and other products that contain Minoxidil...
while doing a some looking around on the forum a see a lot of women advise against this, b/c it is a product that u supposedly have to use for a lifetime....
Well after doing some looking around on the internet I read that Rogaine is usually aimed at helping people with GENETIC HAIRLOSS....meaning that if it is an internal problem...yes you would have to use it for life!! Topical treatmets are not fixing internal problems!!!
BUT if ur hair loss is not gentic (self inflicted - i.e. traction alopeica, perms, etc) I don't think you would have the adverse affects of hair loss if the treatment is stopped - esp if u are taking care of the new hair coming in and changing practices that could have caused the hair loss in the beginning....
I feel like this could make a huge difference in determining if u really have to rely on Minoxidil forever....what do u think?!?
