The Skinny on Skinny Hair: Kirkland Minoxidil for Women
July 10, 2008 by Rhonda · Leave a Comment
Finally…products are available to help fight hair loss for women. Sure, men are freaked out by their own baldness. But it’s usually nothing more than a hand-slap to their egos. For us, hair loss can be truly devastating.
Enter Kirkland Minoxidil for Women, a topical, 2% minoxidil solution. Doctors recommend topical treatments for women for safety reasons, and 2% minoxidil (the max approved by the FDA) is the front-runner in the results category.
If you’re going to use Kirkland Minoxidil or any other topical minoxidil treatment, here’s what you need to know:
- Topical treatments aren’t effective for a receding hairline or hairline baldness.
- Once you begin treatment, any hair growth you have will stop once you stop using minoxidil.
- Do a patch test; topical treatments of any kind can cause allergic reactions. Kirkland Minoxidil for Women, while proven effective, has other ingredients you may be sensitive to (like alcohol).
- Don’t use more product or more frequently than recommended. You won’t have any better results and you’re in danger of causing more allergic reaction.
- Do NOT use any topical minoxidil designed for men. Many of them contain 5% minoxidil (not approved or recommended for women).
- If you have any concerns about hair loss, see your doctor.
