Rosemary oil did wonders for me - and studies have shown it to be as effective as a popular OTC medication. See NIH to search the studies - it's legit. That said, when I was seriously anemic, it took an iron infusion.

I read about a study of Rosemary Oil. It said the mice’s hair was removed with depilatory cream. But that doesn’t kill the follicle, so wouldn’t the hair regrow anyway?

It is easier if you are male

My friend uses the 5% Rogaine, but the amount per treatment is so small that she cannot spread it all over her hair. It's limited to a relatively small area. Also, my hairdresser told me that one of her clients had good results, but had to stop because it caused hair growth in places where she didn't want it.

Rogaine is so messy. How do you apply and do you leave on overnight? My md. just prescribed oral Minoxidil 2.5mg and I take half to start. Know antthing about it?

Yes, it's really a blood pressure medication but also used for hair growth. I am just so scared now and my hair keeps falling out.

I’m thrilled to get hair growth and if it grows on my face, I remove it.

I use rosemary oil. A few drops, massaged into the scalp.
There are reliable studies on the NIH site showing that it works as well as Rogaine.
Do not get it in your eyes. And wash your hands after applying. The smell is strong, but pleasant.
