Does rogaine thicken the hair you already have?

I'm not worried about re-growth, but I have very thin black hair; always have. I got a full head of it, but was wondering if using rogaine would thicken it up?

    Rogaine is suppose to help with both re-growth and thickening your hair, so I think in your case it will help. My Dad swears by it. But I do think you need to use it all the time, you can't stop. I think that's the only downside.

    You can usually find free samples of Rogaine. My Dad said he got his first sample here http://www.freesamplesfromheaven.com/rogaine-for-m...

    Good luck, I hope that helps :)

    Rogaine/Regaine is designed for people with thinning hair and generally I would not recommend using this as there is a chance that your hair will shed before growing back thicker (side effect). Also it is an alcohol based product and can leave your scalp itchy and red, better for you to use a thickening shampoo and conditioner rather than a re-growth product containing Minoxidil.

    Hey,

    This is a good guide with a step-by-step method to get your hair back http://hairagain.toptips.org/

    Male hair loss is the most common type of hair loss.It's caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones (androgens) in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation. There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall. You can try to regain your full head of healthy hair by following natural methods: they are cheaper, they have no side effect and very often more effective than conventional one.

    As said above an interesting guide you can follow to get your hair back and prevent future hair loss without dangerous chemicals and drugs, and without expensive supplements or painful hair transplants is available on this site: http://hairagain.toptips.org/

    Hope it helps.
