How To Treat Hair Loss: The Scientific Method

Sure, you can buy the oils, tinctures, potions and topicals that claim to help you avoid hair loss. But what actually works? Here we separate the snake oil from the good stuff based on science. We provide you with a method to do everything you can to keep your hair. There exists two clinically proven ways to prevent hair loss: an oral DHT blocker (finasteride) and minoxidil. Minoxidil is the active ingredient in the commonly known Johnson & Johnson Rogaine products. Minoxidil is a topical treatment for hair loss, it works by opening potassium channels in the scalp, these wider channels allow more nutrients into the hair follicle.

Should Women Use Men’s Minoxidil Products?

First, let’s discuss the difference between men’s and women’s minoxidil or lack thereof. There is no compositional difference between men’s and women’s products.

Is there a generic Rogaine? Indeed. Costco Wholesale USA produces a generic Rogaine product under their Kirkland label. They produce both a 6 month supply of 5% liquid minoxidil and 5% foam.

You can decide for yourself whether the brand name is worth it for you, for us, we have used the Kirkland brand for years with great results. Hair Supply solves a problem we had...

Women's vs. Men's Minoxidil Dosage - Clearing Up the Confusion

Minoxidil products, whether they be foam or liquid, are accompanied by a supply indication which can cause some confusion. Men's Rogaine foam is sold in a 3 month supply which includes 3 60 gram cans. However, Women's Rogaine foam is sold in a 4 month supply version that includes 2 60 gram cans. The reason for this is women's Rogaine foam is to be applied once per day as recommended by the manufacturer, whereas men's Rogaine foam is to be applied twice per day. We hope to clarify the confusion with the table below. Although we have not included generic minoxidil products, they follow the same dosage guidelines for both foam and liquid.   Product            ...
