I'm 26, started using Rogaine about five months ago. Results didn't show until about four months. My hair loss started becoming noticeable about two years ago when I was 24. Strangely enough I think I've seen more improvement in the front (temples) than in the back. I definitely think the product works but it requires a lot of patience and dedication. Very important note: I've been using Rogaine with a DHT blocker that I take morning and night. From my little research and experience so far, Rogaine re-grows the hair while the DHT stops or slows the hair loss. Rogaine doesn't seem to do much for the hair loss itself so I think it's necessary to use a DHT blocker to preserve the hair that's already grown.

Here's a not-so-encouraging fact: this product pretty much requires an endless commitment. That means that whatever hair growth is generated by Rogaine is sustainable only through continued use of the product. (Stop using the product and the new hair goes away.) I contemplated doing hair transplant surgery but decided not to because even after surgery it's recommended (if not required) to use a hair re-growth product to maintain the rest of hair around the treated area. Until there's significant breakthrough with stem cell research, Rogaine seems to be the best option.

It would be great if it somehow worked faster. But hair growth just isn't a speedy process.

I've been using Rogaine for more than a decade and the foam is far (a million times) better than the original liquid. With the foam it is more like hair mousse -- unlike the liquid which is slathered on and leaves your head greasy looking (and feeling).

One thing though is that the foam is far more expensive, mainly because there is no generic version yet available. But for me the price is worth it. However, when I found this option on Amazon I leaped at it -- I'm saving nearly $30 with every order.

In summary,
1) Rogaine works for me -- I've regrown and maintained much of the hair on the top of my head.
2) The foam is much better than the liquid -- goes on like hair mousse and isn't messy or greasy
3) Ordering from Amazon saves me $30 when I order 3 month supply.

I am a 25yr old asian male, who has been thinning hair for about 7yrs now. I have used the liquid version before, but I have to say that the foam is much easier to use; once you get the hang of it.

As I've stated befire, I've tried Rogaine before but it didn't seem to do the job, so I discontinued use. I decided to give it another try when I heard of the new foam ,but did not get around to it till now. And so far, I have to say it seems to work.

I do not have significant bald spot at the apex, but rather a frontal thinning (area that isn't indicated by Rogaine). But I figured I had nothing to lose. Initially, I lost more hair but that is what is supposed to happen. 1 1/2 months later, I started to see so-called peach fuzz in the frontal area. And now, after two bottles (2 month), I see that the regrown hair is starting to darken. Not incredibly thick, but darker newly grown hair none the less.

If you expect time machine like effects, this product probably won't do the job. But if you have reasonable goal, this product may definitely help. I mean if I grow enough hair so that I can cover it without noticeability, that is good for me.

It does take sometime to apply it correctly: TO GET IT ON THE SCALP NOT THE HAIR. But it is do-able. One last thing, as others have mentioned, I found it easier to apply directly to scalp rather than using the hand.

I should also note that I did take natural DHT blockers along with the Rogaine. AND don't forget Nizoral or other anti-inflammatory shampoos!!! IMPORTANT!!!

Good Luck to you all

I used the Rogaine foam faithfully/consistently for 7 months, but I did not see much difference at all. It must be my bad luck to be in the 15% of the population for which this product does not work. That being said, if you're going to try it, here are some things to keep in mind (which other reviewers have noted, as well):

1. You have to apply the stuff twice a day for the rest of your life, or at least as long as you want to try to thicken your hair. Although it's not the worst discipline, I grew weary of having to do it. Too much trouble, I found.

2. It's expensive.

3. As others have said, it works best just to spray it directly on the crown of the head.

4. I don't think the odor is bad. It dissipates after a few minutes, anyway.

5. Definitely use the foam, not the liquid solution. The liquid solution is horribly messy.

Hope you have better luck than I did.

I've been using this product for about a month now, and while I've never tried any other form of Rogaine or similar product before, it's been a pleasant experience. At first I was unsure about how well I'd remember to apply twice a day. So far I've only missed once. The instructions say to use about half a cap full in your hand (run your fingers under cold water nonetheless), but I found it was much easier to just dispense the foam directly onto my scalp, without worrying about it literally melting in my hand. This way I could easily target the areas I needed most all at once. Sometimes I accidentally do a little too much, and sometimes too little. But the little foam bottle actually does have more in it than I expected. Then I gently rub it in all over my scalp and believe me, the stuff dissolves almost instantly into liquid so you gotta keep rubbing it in until it completely feels dry. Thats when you notice your hair all matte textured like you just used some weird thickening mousse. It's not bad at all. If you already have thin hair like me then it actually kinda helps the styling process to give your hair some body and lift. The smell isn't so bad either. I've heard of other products having weird smells but Rogaine Foam smells decent. It's a little strong at first but goes away soon enough. I should point out that I've been using this product where it hasn't been clinically confirmed to work - in the frontal areas of my scalp and along my receding hairline. I've read and heard about people having success using the product there, so I figured why not. As of now it's hard to say if any new hair is growing, but one thing's for sure - my hair hasn't looked any worse. About 5 years ago I noticed my hair taking the same route as my brother and male cousins - the dave letterman style receding island. It's been slowly getting worse this past year but with the Rogaine Foam I somehow already feel confident the product is working. It's funny how I've heard about other people dismissing Rogaine simply because it's a well known doctor advised solution. And I've personally seen what happens when they decide to go the herbal or "all natural" route, such as all the nonsense you'll find online with all the glorious fake reviews to back it. Sorry, but those products just don't work for people - I've seen it first-hand with my brother and others over the last 5 years. They're now bald. I'm really glad I went with Rogaine - definitely satisfied so far, good luck to everyone! I'll update here if I can. :)

This is much easier to use than the liquid version, though I would suggest applying it directly to the scalp and forget about putting it on your finger than on your scalp. The one drawback is that your hair seems to consume a lot of it and I wonder how much actually makes it to the scalp itself.

My fiancee who didn't know I was using Rogaine for 3 months noticed that I started to regrow hair before I did. You have to be diligent about this stuff and not freak out if you notice you're losing hair early on during the rubbing needed for the application process. I'm going on my 5th month now and the results are well worth it. I like the foam too because it can also be used to style your hair.

I have been suffering frontal hair loss for two years, I bought this foam although its not intended for frontal baldness. However, since I started using it, my hair loss got reduced like 80%, so this foam is helping me to keep my hair where it belongs a bit longer.

The results are not inmediately so you have to be patient. But after some weeks you start to see the difference. soon, you will be able to do apply it in seconds and it doesnt interfere with your hairlook. I recommend it 100%

Swear by this stuff. Use it once a day to maintain hairline that was once mildly to moderately receeded.
