Can women use Men's Rogaine?
Women's Rogaine contains only 2% monoxidil, while the men's formula contains 5%. Just wondering if it's safe for a woman to use, and if it would yield better or faster results?

Check with a doctor. I'm not sure if Rogaine is one, but some of the men's hair growing formulas contain chemicals unsafe for women. I don't recall which ones but I remember seeing one of those commercials where they said women should not even touch the medication.

WELL I SAY NO....
Because Rogaine themselves says:
Rogaine For Men
Do not use if:
you are a woman
your amount of hair loss is different than that shown on the side of this carton or your hair loss is on the front of the scalp. 5% minoxidil topical solution is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline.
