Minoxidil and Hair Loss Blog

I just realized that I wrote yesterday about Revivogen Shampoo but I did not in fact write much about the Revivogen Formula. Sorry about that. For those of you who are not familiar with Reivivogen, it is an all natural, over the counter hair loss treatment that works in both men and women. Revivogen uses anti-DHT (a hormone believed to kill hair follicles in the scalp) to help prevent and stop hair loss. Anti-DHT technology was first used in the prescription drug, Propecia, which must be ingested in pill form and filtered through the body’s organs. Revivogen works topically, meaning that it is applied directly to the scalp in the affected areas. This keeps any active ingredients from entering the blood stream in concentrations as high as it would with a pill like Propecia.

Will it Stop Hair Loss?

Like any other hair loss treatment on the market, Revivogen will not work for everyone that tries it. The only way to find out if Revivogen, Rogaine or Minoxidil will work for you is to try it for a period of at least four months. I would recommend trying it for six months and try to document your condition before during and after with feel and appearance tests. Pictures are a great idea here. Many hair loss treatments will help to slow or stop your hair loss and may or may not actually grow the hair back that you have lost. But, as many of us who suffer from hair loss know, the process appears to speed up as time goes on. Slowing this process is something that many of us would like to do.

If you have any questions about Revivogen, or any of the hair loss treatments found here at Minoxidil for Less please let us know at info@minoxidil4less.com.

Revivogen is one of the latest over the counter treatments for topical hair loss in both men and women. Revivogen is an all natural treatment that works to block the formation of DHT around the hair follicles in the scalp. This hormone is believed to slowly kill off hair follicles and cause localized baldness. Available in a topical solution that you apply to the scalp twice a day, Revivogen was smart enough to put this formula in a shampoo that can be used as well. The peppermint shampoo feels great and rejuvinates your scalp. I have used the Revivogen shampoo, and I love it. So, if you are looking for a great hair loss treatment and would love to combine it with a great shampoo, Revivogen is your answer.

Looking for a low cost alternative to Rogaine? Check out our generic Minoxidil products which offer the exact same active ingredient found in brand name products like Rogaine for Men and Rogaine for women, in a low cost alternative. Compare a four bottle pack of Minoxidil at $40 to $49.95 for three bottles of Rogaine for Men or Women. So, if you are not afraid to use a generic drug (and you have no reason to be), then Minoxidil is for you.

After my last experience at the “hair salon” I realized that a good hair cut is probably one of the most important elements in the health of your hair. I moved to San Francisco last year and use my best friend’s “hair lady.” She is from Ireland, and not to stereotype, but I think she likes to have a little “nip” now and again. But, that is not the real problem. The real problem is the way in which she “cuts” my hair. And, cuts deserves the quotes. Many times she uses a razor comb device which really feels like it is struggling to cut my hair. Since I have started using her, my hair has taken a noticeable change for the worse in terms of what is left on my head. Needless to say, I have seen the light and will be going to someone who knows what they are doing next time I need a hair cut. Give your hair a shot and get it cut by someone who is experienced, well trained and uses sharp scissors to cut your hair.

For years, Rogaine was the only over the counter hair loss solution available to treat hair loss in both men and women. About 3 years ago, the patents on Rogaine were removed and the generic market for Minoxidil opened up. Soon after major pharmeceutical manufacturers like Bauch and Lomb began to produce Minoxidil for generic retail sale. Unfortunately for them, there were many other people who had the same idea and the market was soon flooded with generic Rogine product. This was great for consumers as Minoxidil was plentiful and cheap. But, the question still remained, was Minoxidil different than Rogaine?

The answer is that Rogaine and Minoxidil are exactly the same. I was told this by our representative at Pharmacia & Upjohn, the makers of Rogaine. Now Pharmacia is owned by Pfizer, but the product is still the same. So, you can purchase Minoxidil as a low cost substitute to Rogaine and rest assured that it is just as effective as the brand name Rogaine.

No matter what hair loss treatment you may or may not be using, there is something that is crucial in maintaining your hair’s health, quality shampoo products. I have used many products over the years including, Progaine shampoo, Revivogen shampoo, and Nioxin. Today I am using Biolage shampoo and conditioner and I have to say, that I can really notice a difference in how my hair feels and looks. My hair is usually pretty dry, but I never really noticed this until I used a good quality hydrating shampoo. Without a quality shampoo and conditioning regimen, your scalp can dry out fast. And, if you are using products like Minoxidil or Rogaine, this may lead to some irritation on your scalp. So, do your hair a favor and spend a few extra bucks on some decent products.

Women suffer from hair loss, just as men do, even though it is not as widely publicized. However, there are most likely just as many women that suffer from hair loss as there are men. With that said, there are many differences in the causes of female hair loss from their male counterparts. Many women lose their hair due to stress or because of chemical/hormonal imbalances. It is common in these situations for women to lose hair in spots or clumps. This type of hair loss is not treatable with common over the counter treatments like Rogaine for Women. In these situations, it is best for the woman to consult her physician to help diagnose where the problem is coming from and treating it accordingly. For women with hereditary hair loss, there is good news. Like men, there are over the counter medications like Rogaine and it’s generic counterpart Minoxidil that are readily available. There are even new treatments like Revivogen with new anti-DHT technology built in.

Almost 10 years ago, Rogaine revolutionized the way men and women treat hereditary hair loss. Today, not much has changed. There is only one other over the counter product that is revolutionizing hair loss treatment once again. Revivogen is an all natural product available in shampoo and topical solutions that can be applied directly to the scalp. The all natural forumula has been shown in independent trials to regrow hair in both men and women. Revivogen uses an anti-DHT formula to help stimulate and reinvigorate hair follicles in the scalp to continue producing hair. You can read more about the Revivogen Formula at Minoxidil for Less’ website.

I moved to San Francisco in the last year, and one of the most troubling parts has been finding a new hair cutter person. Sorry, I can’t say “hair dresser” or “hair sytlist.” I have been using my best friend’s hair cutter lady and to be honest, she is a complete hack. I realized yesterday, when she was “cutting” my hair, that I really need to go to someone else to get my hair cut…for my hair’s sake. The tools she “uses” and her methods are probably killing off the hair that is on my scalp. My point here is, use common sense when choosing who cuts your hair. Make sure they are not pulling your hair out, using some crazy tools or just don’t seem to know what they are doing. Sorry Scotty, Lilly is out. Anyone know of a good hair cutter lady in SF?

If you are seeking a solution to your hair loss, you have certainly heard of Nioxin. Nioxin is touted by many to help regrow hair in people with hereditary and other types of hair loss, but this has been proven not to be the case. Nioxin even says this on their website. So, as you can see, even Nioxin will tell you that their forumla will not regrow hair. So, I decided to try it out for a while and see what it did for my hair. Yes, I tried it to see, in addition to how my hair looked, if it regrew hair, made my hair look fuller, thicker, etc. So, I used Nioxin 5 to 6 days a week for 3 months. I can say that my hair is noticeably drier and it has thinned even more in the time I have been using it. This is not to say that Nioxin is responsible for my increased thinning on my scalp. But, I will say that my hair is thicker and healthier when I was using Biolage conditioner in conjunction with their shampoo. This is not a hair loss shampoo, but simply a high quality shampoo that is now available at Walgreens. So, if you are thinking of using Nioxin, I would not recommend it.
