Rogaine Review: Does Rogaine Work?

Rogaine has been around for ages and since its commercial outbreak in the 80s, the company producing this hair loss prevention treatment have promoted it like crazy.

Strangely enough (or not, considering the amount of money they spent on advertising) most of the “unbiased” reviews on the Internet speak highly of Rogaine as one of the best products in the hair loss market. But is it really?

I’ll try to be unbiased myself in this review, although I’m going to also try and shed some light on Rogaine and another hair loss prevention product I’ve tried, Provillus. Thing is, they’re both rather well advertised and you will find a lot of positive reviews on both all over the Internet.

All reviewers will attest that they had some results with Rogaine, but a lot of them fail to mention what I noticed for myself: the hair is very thin and weak and it mostly grows on the crown of the head, not on the sides or the temple area.

In all fairness, I did experience some fast results with Rogaine, but I found it very weird that the hair that started growing was similar to the fuzz on a peach in strength. It also failed to grow at the same pace as the rest of the hair and in different lengths all over the head. Did it work?

Yes.

Was I satisfied with the results? No. In fact, my new-grown hair looked funnier and weirder than the bald spot I had earlier.

In comparison, Provillus might not be as fast, as it took up to 3 months to see the first results.

However, the hair grown with the help of Provillus seemed natural and strong and it also grew at a relatively good pace after the initial 3 months.

I believe that Provillus has a good balance between hair growth and hair loss prevention, which was crucial in my case. I didn’t just want some new fuzzy, weak hair, I wanted something that I could “wear” on a long term basis and unfortunately, Rogaine simply couldn’t deliver that. Provillus on the other hand came really close.

Another thing you might want to pay attention to when having to choose between Rogaine and Provillus is how they work to reduce hair loss. Rogaine’s main ingredient is a drug called Minoxidil, usually prescribed to patients having high blood pressure.

In case you’re suffering from a condition where you have to pay close attention to your blood pressure, it’s recommended that you don’t use Rogaine, as it may have adverse effects.

On the other hand, Provillus is a natural DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blocker that only works on a hormonal level, so there’s really no danger in using it.

Now, I’m not dismissing Rogaine as a completely useless hair prevention treatment, in fact it seems that many people found it to work quite well. For me however, Provillus simply proved to be the better product on many levels.

It does need a bit more patience, but the results are stronger and natural, which weighed a lot in my decision to use Provillus.
