Minoxidil probably needs no introduction because its popularity has steadily been growing in recent years.

But just in case, it is a hair growth/regrowth product to promote the growth of scalp hair, and sometimes even facial hair

The only “downside” is that one has to use it for at least a few months to observe noticeable positive effects. This leads to an important question that we’re going to answer today.

Is minoxidil safe for long term use? If yes, for whom? And if no, for who isn’t it considered safe? Let’s find out.

Minoxidil is a great tool in the battle against hair loss, or even hair regrowth.

Like I mentioned in another post, there are a multitude of ways to make the minoxidil even more effective. Like combining it with tretinoin and microneedling (dermarolling), for example.

Likewise, certain shampoos combat dandruff, redness, itching, scaling, and flaking of the skins, which are all common side effects from minoxidil usage. Even better is that certain shampoos such as ketoconazole shampoo contains hair growth ingredients.

That’s all good and well, but a couple of questions arise. Questions such as, “should I wash off minoxidil?” And if so, how often should I wash my hair while using Rogaine?

Let me explain what kind of shampoo you should use in combination with your topical minoxidil solution.

Overdosage of medication is unfortunately an occurrence that happens far too much.

And although minoxidil is generally very well tolerated with overdosing being a rare occurrence and most often not dangerous, it can still cause problems and in extreme cases even life-threatening.

Let me answer what happens if you overdose minoxidil, what the minoxidil overdose symptoms look like and what you should do if you experience an overdose of minoxidil.

Today, we’re going to answer the question, “can women use men’s rogaine?”

As some of you might know, there are some differences between rogaine for men and women.

Let’s start by figuring out if rogaine for men does indeed work for women or not.

Quite a few of us who have heard of, or have used minoxidil before in our lives may know that there is such a thing as men’s Rogaine and women’s Rogaine.

And while we might at first glance think that there are significant differences between the two since they’re promoted separately for both sexes, they’re mostly the same.

That does raise the following question, “can men use women Rogaine?”

Let me get to the point and answer that question for you.

While minoxidil and dermarolling both work great for promoting hair and beard growth, there are other ways that can help those whose facial hair need that little extra boost.

Tretinoin is such a product. It can help people to grow facial hair by aggravating the skin, which in turn divides the skin at a quicker rate and replaces older skin cells.

Let me explain why tretinoin cream and serum can be used to grow a full beard.

A lot of people note that minoxidil causes an increased amount of hair shedding.

Since some people use topical minoxidil for facial hair growth, this naturally raises the question if it can also lead to shedding beard hair.

Let me answer why shedding facial hair and hair in general is normal, especially when using minoxidil.

Today we’ll be answering a simple question, “does insurance cover minoxidil” and if so, does insurance cover rogaine minoxidil?

I dug up some answers that might be of use to you.

One’s beard hair color, as is the case with any hair on the body, is determined by the amount of melanin in the hardened cells of the hair.

Minoxidil isn’t the only product that can help to promote facial hair. As a matter of fact, it has been proven that microneedling for beard growth is effective as well. Especially when combined with using topical minoxidil.

Let me start off by explaining what a dermaroller is, what it does, and why derma rolling and beard growth are connected with each other.
