T Gel and T Sal are two of Neutrogena’s biggest selling scalp shampoos. They’re both extremely popular products. But, many people struggle to differentiate between the two. It can be difficult to know which one is better for your personal situation. Whilst some people think that these products are the same, there are some drastic differences between them. The main difference between T Gel and T Sal is that T Sal is stronger, designed for crusty scalps and bad psoriasis. T Gel is better for people who are dealing with mild psoriasis, dandruff and an inflamed scalp. Deciding on which of these options is best for you is not easy. If you have no experience and do not want to self diagnose your issues, then it may be worth visiting a dermatologist. Or an even better idea than this in my opinion is to visit your local hair salon. They have likely seen lots of cases of flaky scalps and may be able to give you an idea of which product would be best for your needs. Main Differences between T Gel and T SalAlthough they are similar, there are a few difference between T Gel and T Sal that are fairly easy to see.
Can you use both T Gel and T Sal together?Yes, some dermatologists have recommended that you use both of these products together. If you are going to use these products together, it’s advised that you use T Sal before you use T Gel. This is because it helps to loosen up and hard flakes that you have on your scalp. T GelSale Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo Original Formula, Anti-Dandruff Treatment for Long-Lasting Relief of Itching and Flaking Scalp as a Result of Psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis, 16 fl. oz
T Gel is the more popular option between the two, but that doesn’t necessarily make it the better option. You can use T Gel for everything from regular dandruff to an extremely itchy scalp. It’s generally considered as a good option for anyone experiencing dandruff, especially as Neutrogena are the number one brand when it comes to scalp care. You only need to use T Gel twice a week to start seeing results, though if you see a dermatologist they may recommend that you use it more often than this. Although you might not think it, many dermatologists recommend mixing your shampoos, so it’s okay to use this shampoo one day then use a different shampoo the next day. Of course, you’ll want to check the other shampoo that you’re using too. Whilst T Sal has a higher % of salicylic acid, T Gel has this too. The salicylic acid helps to cleanse your scalp, before the coal tar extract then soothes the itching and helps to stop your scalp flaking. T SalNeutrogena T/Sal Therapeutic Shampoo, Scalp Build-Up Control 4.5 oz (Pack of 2)
from $15.62 Whilst T Gel is more popular, T Sal is still sold fairly frequently throughout the US. It’s usually advised to use T Sal if you have a more severe from of psoriasis or other scalp issues. The reason that T Sal is advised to be used for more severe cases is that the higher percentage of salicylic acid is ideal to help breakdown a crustier scalp. If you’re going to use T Sal, it’s recommended that you use it more often than T Gel. This is because it gives the opportunity to cleanse your scalp more thoroughly than with less regular use. ConclusionOverall, for best results you’ll want to use both of these products in unison. If you don’t want to use both, then you can decide on one depending on how severe your scalp is. For more moderate situations, opt for T Gel. For more severe, go for T Sal. The post T Gel vs T Sal appeared first on Balding Life.

If you’ve run out of oil for your hair trimmer, or you just want to avoid purchasing any more, then you’re probably looking for alternatives to use. Whilst most people recommend that you stick with the manufacturers oil, this isn’t always possible. Is there really any difference between the manufacturers oil and the oil you have laying around your house, like baby oil? The answer is that yes, it’s perfectly fine to use baby oil for your hair trimmers and clippers. Whilst you want to avoid thicker oils that may clog the blades, baby oil works fine as a trimmer oil replacement. Of course, this does depend on how thick the baby oil that you’re going to use is. If it’s extremely thick, then you may want to opt for something else. This is because thicker oils have a tendency to clog your trimmer up, especially after prolonged use. So, it’s important to avoid using thick baby oils to maintain your trimmer. To apply baby oil, you generally just want to use the same method that you use with your regular oil. Simply squirt a small amount of baby oil onto your finger or directly across the blades and rub it in. This is much easier to do with a small brush, but you can use your fingers if you have nothing else. Ensure to turn your trimmer on halfway through the process. This is to help the oil spread evenly throughout the trimmer, as opposed to moistening just one area. This can be an issue if you do not moisten your clippers properly. AlternativesIf you don’t want to use baby oil for your hair clippers, then there are alternatives that you can use which you may find around the house. The most commonly known alternative to using your manufacturers oil is to use coconut oil. Using coconut oil is likely a better option than using baby oil because it has the ability to spread across your trimmers blades better than baby oil – this is due to the density of the two. Another good choice to use if you have it on hand is sewing machine oil. You want to try and opt for clear mineral oils to help maintain your clippers. This is because they work far better than thick and dense oils. You want to avoid using thick oils like olive and cooking oils in general. This is because they are too thick to be used to properly moisturize your clippers. ConclusionIn general, baby oil isn’t the best way to keep your clippers sharp. But, they definitely get the job done and some people will find them to be better than their manufacturers oil – especially if it’s particularly expensive. The post Can you use baby oil on hair clippers? appeared first on Balding Life. From https://baldinglife.com/can-you-use-baby-oil-on-hair-clippers/ via https://baldinglife.wordpress.com/2018/09/17/can-you-use-baby-oil-on-hair-clippers/ Two of the most popular hair loss supplements of recent memory are Biotin and Nioxin. You’ll struggle to find a hair loss shampoo that doesn’t have biotin listed on the ingredients. And Nioxin – well, it’s a huge brand in it’s own right and has tons of verified reviews that commend the product. But what’s the major difference between these two hair loss supplements? Is one better to use than the other, or are they fairly similar? The correct answer is that Nioxin and Biotin work in entirely different ways to help rejuvenate your hair. Biotin is quite simply a vitamin, whereas Nioxin is a complete hair recovery system used to help any hair loss you’re experiencing. BiotinBiotin is simply known at Vit H, and it’s commonly found in many different foods that you’ll eat on a daily basis. It’s a B Complex Vitamin – all the B Vitamins are referred to as B Complex. Other B Vitamins include;
Anyway, it’s clear to see that Biotin is an important vitamin that we all need. And it’s also important for hair loss, as a deficiency in biotin can undoubtedly have an effect on the health of your hair. The reality is that the likelihood of you having a Biotin deficiency is very slim. And if you don’t have a deficiency, then this is not going to be the cause of your hair loss. Although there’s little research done on the effect of Biotin shampoos, it’s pretty clear to see that there are better options out there. If you really are deficient in Biotin, then you’d be far better off going for a biotin supplement or just trying to include more biotin in your diet. Good sources of biotin include eggs, liver and various different nuts and seeds. NioxinIt’s very difficult to compare Nioxin and Biotin, because they’re both completely different things. Nioxin the brand have various different products that they promote that can help with the health of your hair. Although they’re not defined as a hair loss product and they don’t state this, people have found their products useful in dealing with hair loss. Nioxin ShampooThe main thing that Nioxin Shampoo is a hair care shampoo. This ranges from numbers 1-6, which vary depending on what type of hair you have. Some of their shampoos are better for thin hair, whilst others are better for coarse, thick hair. You should consider which nioxin is best for you before purchasing. The main way that these shampoos work is to help cleanse the scalp. Essentially, they give your scalp a better environment for your hair to grow properly. Whilst this doesn’t necessarily spur growth, it is important for your hair to have a healthy environment otherwise studies show that it won’t grow as well as it could. Nioxin System 2 Cleanser, 300 Ml
Nioxin Hair BoosterThere are other products that Nioxin produce that can also help with the health of your scalp. The way that the hair booster works is that it’s actually meant to be used in conjunction with their other products. Whilst the shampoo is used to help cleanse the scalp itself, the Nioxin hair booster is designed to help protect cuticles from any further damage. Nioxin Intensive Therapy Hair Booster, 3.38 Ounce
ConclusionOverall, these two are not really comparable in their ability to help with the hair loss that you’re experiencing. In my opinion, if you feel like you aren’t getting enough Biotin in your diet, then you should look to get yourself a biotin supplement. Nioxin however, has been used by many people around the world to help with their hair loss. Can it help to drastically reudce your hair loss or even regrow your hair like minoxidil and finasteride? It’s unlikely. But if you’re experiencing temporary hair loss and are looking for a shampoo that can help, then nioxin may be worth a look. The post Biotin vs Nioxin appeared first on Balding Life. From https://baldinglife.com/biotin-vs-nioxin/ via https://baldinglife.wordpress.com/2018/09/17/biotin-vs-nioxin/ Over the years, I’ve had tons of different shavers and trimmers, both for my head and my beard. The Wahl Balding Clipper, the Andis Professionals.. they’ve all served me well and done the job. But, they all have the same thing in common to work well. They all need maintenance. And, if you don’t use the correct beard trimmer oil, then this can significantly affect the quality of your shave. But what about if you don’t have any beard trimmer oil to hand? Can you use other substances to trim your beard – what about oils that you use for regular stuff, like coconut oil? Well, the good news is that I’ve used coconut oil many times on my Wahl Balding Clippers and they’ve worked absolutely fine afterwards. It’s no different than using your regular beard trimmer oil – though it may take you a while to get used to the smell! How to Apply Coconut Oil to your TrimmerIt’s extremely easy to apply coconut oil to your trimmer. It’s no different than applying regular oil, although you may find that the coconut oil is a little thicker. Because of this, you may want to massage it between your fingers for a few seconds before use. After the oil feels soft enough to apply, gentle place it onto the top of your trimmer. If you have a small brush handy, then you can use this to help press the oil into the trimmer blades. Once the oil is rubbed into the blades thoroughly, then you should turn the trimmer on for a few seconds. This can help the oil to spread evenly throughout the trimmer. What else can I use coconut oil for?Coconut oil isn’t just confined to being used for cooking and your trimmer. There are other things, specifically grooming related, in which your trimmer can work extremely well.
ConclusionIn conclusion, it’s easy to see that coconut oil works just as well as many other natural oils for doing a variety of different things. This includes using it to keep your trimmer blades moist, as well as an abundance of other things. The post Using Coconut Oil for Hair Clippers? appeared first on Balding Life. From https://baldinglife.com/coconut-oil-for-hair-clippers/ via https://baldinglife.wordpress.com/2018/09/17/using-coconut-oil-for-hair-clippers/ If you’re dealing with hair loss, then you really have to make a decision. You can either choose to accept it and resign yourself to shaving your head (nothing wrong with that, I do it!). Or, you can choose to fight your hair loss by using a hair loss formula designed to help hinder the attack on your hair. Minoxidil, most commonly referred to as Rogaine, is many peoples first choice. But what is Regaine? Is it any different than Rogaine, or is it similar? The answer is that Regaine is simply the UK version of the same product. They’re both owned by the same company. Despite this, some users did notice a difference between the products. Although this isn’t for certain, the likelihood is that there is some legal complications that do not enable Rogaine to use their brand name in the UK. Much like Tefal is rebranded as T-Fal throughout the UK and Europe because they aren’t allowed to use the ‘Tef’ (because it’s similar to Teflon), this is probably a similar case for Rogaine too. If you email the company directly to find out the differences between the two brands, then they’ll simply tell you that they’re the same product – just in different packages. Though this doesn’t explain the users that have found a difference when switching between Rogaine and Regaine. Even though they are supposedly the same product, many people do report differences between the two. Now, this is true for the liquid version of Rogaine – they are both made from exactly the same ingredients. But this isn’t true for the foam versions of these products. If you look at the ingredients list, they actually use different ingredients. Rogaine vs Regaine – IngredientsAlthough the difference in ingredients of these two products in minor, there’s certainly a difference between the two. Here’s a list straight from the ingredients on both products. Regaine foam Rogaine foam It’s pretty clear to see that both of these products have different ingredients. This will give them a different feel and texture – many Regaine users note that they prefer Regaine, although it’s decidedly more expensive in the UK than it is in the US. Rogaine foam is ‘more foamy’ than Regaine, although this is possibly down to the drastic difference in temperatures between the two countries. There is the possibility that the texture of Rogaine changes whilst in transit, though in my opinion it’s more likely to just be the difference in ingredients that makes the difference. ConclusionOverall, it’s easy to see that these products are both pretty much the same thing. Many people in the UK do choose to order Rogaine in bulk however, to help avoid the extortionate prices of Regaine in the UK (it tends to run at about half the price in the US than the UK). Essentially at their core, both of these products are 5% minoxidil like any other minoxidil (unless you opt for 2%), so there isn’t any drastic difference between the two. The post Rogaine vs Regaine appeared first on Balding Life. From https://baldinglife.com/rogaine-vs-regaine/ via https://baldinglife.wordpress.com/2018/09/17/rogaine-vs-regaine/ Rogaine is one of the most popular hair loss products on the market, and it’s been that way since it’s inception back in the late 80s. Although other brands of minoxidil have subsequently been released, none have come close to the popularity of Rogaine. But as with most treatments and medications, Rogaine does come with some side effects. One of the lesser known side effects of Rogaine is actually weight gain. But is this really possible, and if so, why? Well, yes the reality is that a small percentage of people have experienced weight gain as a side effect of using Rogaine. Although it’s not common, numerous people have spoken out and said that the drug caused them to rapidly gain weight. The reality is that the weight gain is not necessarily fat gain, and it isn’t a direct effect of the Rogaine – it’s a causal, knock on effect. Let’s look at the two most common ways that people experience weight gain when using Rogaine as a medication. Water RetentionOne of the potential side effects of using Rogaine can be water retention. This can cause users to gain a vast amount of weight in a short amount of time. We know this because Minoxidil was originally used to treat high blood pressure, but the water retention that minoxidil users faced was a hindrance. In these cases, doctors also tended to prescribe diuretics along with the minoxidil to ensure that the body won’t retain water to the same degree. With using minoxidil for hair loss, doctors recommend that if you do experience any of these side effects then you should just look towards other hair loss products instead. Though this is quite an uncommon side effect of using Rogaine, it does occur for a small amount of people. AnxietyOne of the most common side effects that people experience when using Rogaine is heart palpitations and chest pain. This is likely due to the increase of blood flow that’s created by using minoxidil. Unfortunately, anxiety is heavily related to weight gain. It’s thought that you’re more likely to experience weight gain as a knock on effect of the heart palpitations causing anxiety, than there being a direct correlation between minoxidil causing you to gain fat. How does this work? Well, as stated minoxidil was actually used to treat high blood pressure. So when you’re using minoxidil, your body will actually start to maintain a lower blood pressure. The effect of this can be different for certain people, and this decreasing of blood pressure can cause people to have anxiety. One of the most commonly associated side effects of anxiety is weight gain, or an increase in hunger. Heart palpitations and decreased blood pressure are a pretty strong side effect to experience from any sort of medication, so if you do experience these side effects then it’s worth contacting your doctor. Other side effectsThere are other side effects that you might experience when using minoxidil. They include;
ConclusionOverall, the likelihood that minoxidil is going to cause you any fat gain is minimal, though there remains to be much more research done on the matter. With the lack of research, it really is down to you whether you decide to use Rogaine as your hair loss product of choice. The post Rogaine | Weight Gain is a side effect? appeared first on Balding Life. From https://baldinglife.com/rogaine-weight-gain-side-effect/ via https://baldinglife.wordpress.com/2018/09/16/rogaine-weight-gain-is-a-side-effect/ Keranique and Rogaine are two of the big hitters in the hair loss market. If you’re experiencing hair loss and have been researching it, then you’ve undoubtedly come across these two names. But how do they really compare to each other – is one significantly better than the other, or are they relatively similar? Simply put, these products are extremely similar in the way that they both use minoxidil as their primary hair loss ingredient – though Rogaine has a higher concentration of the hair loss drug. As you might expect, normal Rogaine has 50mg of minoxidil for every gram of product (you might have guessed that from the 5% name). You can also find 2% Rogaine, but this is considered to be less effective and more appropriate for women and people with sensitive scalps. The amount if minoxidil in Keranique is significantly less than this, though Keranique do not state the amount of minoxidil that you’ll find in their products. Like many other minoxidil shampoos, the amount of actually effective hair loss product in their shampoo is questionable. How to Apply Each ProductFortunately, it is relatively easy to apply each of these products to your scalp. Depending on the minoxidil that you buy – foam or regular – you’ll either have to squirt a few drops of product onto your scalp, or rub a small amount of foam onto your scalp (I prefer the foam myself). Men’s Rogaine Foam Hair Loss Treatment (3-Month Supply) & Nizoral A-D Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (7 fl. oz)
With Keranique, you’ll get 4 different products to use for your hair. You’ll get shampoos and conditioners to use, and you’ll also get an ‘after the shower’ spray that they recommend you spray onto your hair post shower. You’ll also get another spray to use later in the evening. For this reason, it’s pretty easy to see that Rogaine wins on an ‘ease of use’ scale – it’s considerably easier to use than Keranique. Side EffectsThough the side effects of both of these products is relatively minimal, you will find that you may experience some adverse feeling when using these products. RogaineWith Rogaine, you are more likely to experience headaches. This is because the high concentration of the drug promotes blood circulation in your head, which in turn has been said to increase the likelihood of headaches. Some people that have used Rogaine have also reported experiencing an itchy, flaking scalp. This is a common side effect of a lot of hair loss products, as some people just don’t work with certain formulas. Another particularly concerning side effect that some people have experienced from using Rogaine is weight gain, though the people experiencing weight gain seems to be minimal. KeraniqueAs keranique contains minoxidil as Rogaine does, you’re exposed to all of the same side effects as you would be using either product. It’s worth mentioning a few other side effects that you might experience from either of these products. Another side effect that many people experience from minoxidil is chest pains and an increasing heart rate. Though much of the research behind this is still unknown, it’s though that this is related to the increase of blood circulation throughout the body. There is also the possibility of other symptoms related to anxiety – some people have reported feeling dizzy and lightheaded after starting to use Keranique and Rogaine. It is difficult to tell whether these are symptoms related to the product itself or another issue. ConclusionIf you are considering using either of these two products, then I advise you do a little more research into which one would work best for me. Personally, I would prefer to use the high concentrated Rogaine as opposed to Keranique – it has a better track record and a longer life span within the hair loss industry. The Rogaine name speaks for itself, which is why it’s still extremely popular today. The post Keranique vs Rogaine appeared first on Balding Life. From https://baldinglife.com/keranique-vs-rogaine/ via https://baldinglife.wordpress.com/2018/09/16/keranique-vs-rogaine/ It’s not difficult to see that there’s two main contenders in the hair loss treatment market. They are Minoxidil and Finasteride, and they’ve been the top two hair loss treatments for a long time now. Especially since being branded in the 80s and 90s by their most popular brands – Propecia and Rogaine. But comparing these two hair loss treatments is extremely difficult, and they actually often work very well together. They work in entirely different ways, so it can be hard to know which is these hair loss treatments is ‘better’. The difference between Minoxidil and Finasteride is pretty simple. Finasteride prevents the conversion of testosterone to DHT in your body – DHT is the primary cause of baldness in men. DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, does affect women too in some ways, but it’s primarily an issue if you’re dealing with male pattern baldness. This is a natural thing for your body to do, which is why some take issue with the use of hair loss drugs. So whilst Finasteride is made to prevent this conversion, Minoxidil works in a different way. Minoxidil helps to improve the circulation of blood in your scalp. This allows more stimulation in your hair follicles, which helps your hair to regrow where the follicle may have previous been impaired. With the increased blood flow and oxygen reaching your hair follicles, you have more chance of hair regrowth and help to mitigate any current losses you’re experiencing. Rogaine and Finasteride vs ShampoosOf course, you’ve probably heard about how bad DHT is and how it’s causing baldness for every guy. There’s an abundance of DHT blocking shampoos appearing on the market, but the likelihood is that none of them will be as effective as Propecia. And in the same breath, there’s a lot of Minoxidil shampoos appearing on the market too – but would they be able to compete with just using Rogaine? It’s unlikely. Both Rogaine and Propecia are made with carefully designed formulas to contend with your hair loss. Neither of these methods were designed to be applied as a shampoo in the shower – especially Minoxidil, which works best if left for a longer period of time than a few minutes. Of course, with these products comes the possibility of some side effects. To me, the minoxidil side effects appear minimal if you compare then to Propecia, but I’ll let you make up your own mind. Minoxidil Side EffectsMen’s Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam for Hair Loss and Hair Regrowth, Topical Treatment for Thinning Hair, 3-Month Supply
Dark Circles Under the Eyes – This is one of the lesser known side effects that you might experience when using minoxidil. Itchy Scalp – Another side effect that is reported when using minoxidil is itchy skin. This is probably because the scalp gets much drier when you use minoxidil for a prolonged period of time. This is actually why it’s recommended to use minoxidil as a trifecta with other hair loss products, including ketoconazole, which promotes a healthy scalp. Nausea – As with many other products that are used to treat hair loss, nausea is relatively common when taking minoxidil. The difficult thing about this is that it is hard to tell what is causing the nausea – is it the minoxidil, or is it something else? Well, it’s hard to know but the likelihood is that if you haven’t changed anything else in your diet and you’re sleeping well, then minoxidil may be the cause. Propecia/Finasteride Side EffectsErectile Dysfunction – One of the scariest things for men is ED, and it’s the main reason why I would be cautious of using Propecia. Less than 3% of people reported that they experienced this, but for me it just isn’t worth the risk. Libido disappearing – Along with ED, some people report that your libido decreases whilst using Propecia. In fact the most scary part of this is that the few people who did experience this said that it took a while for their sex drive to return after they stopped using Propecia – scary, huh! Weakness – Whilst this isn’t a definite, there are people who think that finasteride can cause a temporary feeling of weakness in your body. This is a pretty common side effect of many different products, so it’s not surprise that this may be a side effect of using Propecia. These are the main side effects of using Finasteride. EffectivenessComparing the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride is very difficult, because they both work in completely different ways. We can however, look at the people that have used each of these different products. It’s worth mentioning the availability of both these products. With Rogaine, you can easily purchase it over the counter or find it online. This isn’t the case with Propecia however, which you’ll need to go and visit your doctor or see a dermatologist to get a prescription. This could indicate that Propecia is more effective, though this isn’t necessarily true. In reality, it’s impossible to know which of these products is more effective. It completely depends on the individual – some people experience adverse side effects from Fin, and vice versa. How they workMinoxidil/RogaineTradtional Rogaine is pretty easy to use. Back when I used Rogaine myself, I used a small pipette to squirt the formula onto my scalp. But nowadays, it seems the better option is to opt for the Rogaine Foam and simply rub it into your head twice a day. You can also use it in combination with Nizoral for better effect. Men’s Rogaine Foam Hair Loss Treatment (3-Month Supply) & Nizoral A-D Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (7 fl. oz)
Minoxidil helps to promote blood circulation in the scalp, helping the flow of blood to your hair follicles. Though the research on minoxidil isn’t as thorough as with Finasteride, it is FDA approved (one of the only hair loss products to get this certification!). PropeciaMany people of for Propecia for it’s ease of use. It’s commonly take in a 1 mg pill that you only have to take once per day, which makes it an extremely attractive option. It’s said that Finasteride has been supporting Hollywood hairlines for 30 years – and with good reason! Unlike Minoxidil, Propecia simply prevents the conversion of testosterone to DHT in your scalp. ConclusionOverall, it’s very difficult to compare both Propecia and Minoxidil directly as they work in totally different ways. In fact if you go to a dermatologist, many of them will recommend you use both of these products in unison for best effect. It is safe to say however, that these two are undoubtedly the most proven hair loss products available on the current market. They undoubtedly work for the majority of people, which is more than you can say for some other products that are around. The post Minoxidil vs Finasteride appeared first on Balding Life. From https://baldinglife.com/minoxidil-vs-finasteride/ via https://baldinglife.wordpress.com/2018/09/16/minoxidil-vs-finasteride/ Rogaine, also known as minoxidil, is one of the better known methods for helping to prevent hair loss in men experiencing male pattern baldness. The majority of people will have heard of Rogaine at some point in their lifetime. But what about Lipogaine? Is it as effective as Rogaine and can it be used as an alternative, or are you better off sticking with minoxidil? If you didn’t know, Lipogaine is essentially a shampoo blend that contains minoxidil. This makes it easier to apply to your hair, but it may be less effective than using Rogaine because it’s diluted. That’s right – it’s very hard to compare these two as one of the main ingredients, and reasons that Lipogaine works, is that it contains 5% minoxidil. There’s no denying or arguing that Rogaine is one of the most effective hair loss products currently on the market – the only real competitor in terms of size is finasteride. RogaineRogaine has been the go to hair loss product for over 20 years now – so much so, that many people use the term Rogaine as a general name for the actual chemical, Minoxidil. Men’s Rogaine 5% Minoxidil Foam for Hair Loss and Hair Regrowth, Topical Treatment for Thinning Hair, 3-Month Supply
The reason that Rogaine works so well is that in helps to increase the circulation of blood flowing through the scalp (this is also one of the reasons it’s primary side effects is headaches!). This extra circulation helps blood to flow to your hair follicles, which in turn spurs growth. The other side effects that you may experience from using Rogaine include weight gain and an itchy scalp. Though in spite of these possible side effects, Rogaine still proves to be one of the most popular methods of promoting hair growth and dealing with male pattern baldness today. But what about Lipogaine? LipogaineLipogaine was created to help deal with the hassle of applying Rogaine twice daily. This is one of the more common complaints about minoxidil – you have to continuously apply it until you’re ready to accept balding (which is totally normal, for the record). Lipogaine Hair Stimulating All Natural Shampoo for Hair Thinning & Breakage (purple) (16oz)
Lipogaine contains Minoxidil 5%, which is the best option for people looking to tackle male pattern baldness. Along with minoxidil, Lipogaine also contains a lot of other hair loss products which will have an effect on your hair. These include;
Do minoxidil shampoos like Lipogaine even work?It’s debatable as to whether minoxidil shampoos even work to their full potential when they are diluted significantly. There’s little research to back up how effective that minoxidil shampoos can really be. The main reason that there is an issue with minoxidil shampoos is that to really work, minoxidil needs to be applied to your head for an extended period of time. If you’re using your shampoo in the shower, then there’s a good chance that you’re going to wash some of the formula off of your scalp before it really gets the chance to have an effect on your head. ConclusionFor the main reason that minoxidil shampoos are likely to be less effective than the real thing, I’d be inclined to opt for Rogaine as opposed to Lipogaine. Although there are many people who say that Lipogaine worked well for them, there are far more positive reviews of people who have used Rogaine successfully. There’s a reason it’s one of the big three hair loss products along with Fin and Nizoral – it just works! If you’re looking for a good way to mitigate any further hair loss and actually have a standing chance at fighting baldness, then I’d advise to opt for Rogaine out of these two options.

Now, there are many other hair growth myths that aren’t true, but there are elements to this one that really make sense. But can an egg shampoo really work for hair growth? The answer is that in all honesty, the research is very thin on the use of eggs for hair growth. But, the majority of people do agree that it can help to rejuvenate your hair follicles. The primary reason for this is that eggs are filled with protein. The protein in the egg will help your hair maintain it’s thickness.

It will undoubtedly work well with people experiencing temporary hair loss, but the likelyhood a shampoo will help male or female pattern baldness is minimal.
