How To Apply Rogaine


A quick lesson on…how to apply Rogaine. Rogaine is the brand name for Minoxidil which is a liquid topical applied to the scalp for hair regrowth. It usually comes in a small bottle with an eyedropper applicator.
*While handling the Minoxidil be sure NOT to get any into the eyes, if so rinse with water right away and consult a doctor if necessary. Be sure to wash hands after each use to avoid any unwanted hair growth.
How to apply Rogaine is really quite easy because the eyedropper applicator has a 1ml line on it to show you how much to apply.
1.    First remove all packaging, and locate the eyedropper applicator and the bottle of Rogaine.
2.    Remove the cap from the bottle of Rogaine and insert the eyedropper applicator.
3.    Squeeze the rubber end and suck 1 ml of Minoxidil into the eyedropper applicator.
4.    Position the dropper in the thinning hair area and lightly squeeze out the Minoxidil onto the thinning hair area. You will notice the Minoxidil is really quite liquidity and will want run down the scalp. *Be sure to apply one drop at a time while rubbing on to the scalp, this will help eliminate too much being applied and having it run down the scalp.
5.    Continue to apply drops of Minoxidil on the thinning hair areas while rubbing it in. Some people use their finger tips and massage it into the scalp where other use the eyedropper applicator to rub it on the scalp as this avoids contact.
Although Rogaine is FDA approved and has been proven to regrow hair it is strongly recommended that you use a hair loss vitamin supplement to trigger the hair follicle into the growth phase while supplying it with the specific nutrients it needs to grow. This is a very strong combination and produces very positive results although clinical studies show that just taking a hair loss vitamin on it’s own can produce amazing results on it’s own. 
Men with thinning hair can use either a 2% or 5% Minoxidil solution. The 5% Minoxidil is considered to be Extra strength Rogaine and does have some reported side effects such as itchy or irritated scalp. The 5% Minoxidil is restricted in some countries because of the side effects and can only be obtained through a doctor’s prescription.
Women with thinning hair should only use the 2% Minoxidil because of the report increase in side effects. 
There are only a few proven hair loss solutions available on the market today.
These hair loss products will use a topical solution and a vitamin supplement because the combination is so effective.
