Answer: kind of, as long you keep applying the substance you will regrow all the hair that you have lost and maintain it
Hair loss remedies are always criticized on the grounds that you need to continue using them to continue seeing the benefits.
I don’t know why this complaint surfaces for hair loss medications in particular, when a lot of things are like this. Insulin. Depression drugs. All supplements. Etc.
That's the problem I've always had with baldness remedies. Shaving my head every other week takes less effort and saves money. Plus I've been bald since highschool so I'm kinda used to it at this point.
Same. I feel like I’d look so weird with hair now.
So rogain or whatever it's called
But it actually works
rogain also works, don't tell me you believe in pfs?
It works, but not all that well. The hair that comes back tends to be really thin.
...on specific areas and doesn't regrow lost hair to the same density or lustre, but yeah.. it works.
keep applying for how long? Forever?
Until you're ready for your old man era, presumably.
