Thinking of quiting (Rogaine, Minoxidil)
Hi Ladies,
Firstly a brief history, basically I have inocently abused my hair for as long as I can remember ie, constantly tight braids, tightly pulled back pony tails top and back, tight wig caps restricting blood supply to the head, bad relaxers that burnt the head to blisters etc; in the past it didn't matter how bad my hair was it would grow back in no time, until now that is. Since Sept 2007 I have worn no extentions and my hair has been completely natural, the crown being abit thin due I believe to the tight wig caps, the temples thin due to tight Ghana braids, but the back is the most puzzling one to me, I think it's my stress patch it usually grows back eventually but at the moment the hair just grows and drops back off as if I've cut it like that. This is what the beginning of Feb 2008 led me to a well known Hair Clinic in London, for a so called free consultation. Put it this way by the time I left the clinic I had the full works, including 3 months supply of 12.5% Minoxil, for some strange reason I did not even question them too much I was feeling quite vunerable that day so just reluctantly got out my credit card. I tried searching the net almost exsessively trying to find information on Minoxil nothing that bad showed up so 3 weeks ago I started the Minoxil, since starting the treatment I am now reading about all the negative stuff and stopped using the stuff immediatly. After second thoughts I dont think this treatment is for me, I'm frightened that Minoxil will make my hair worse and that I would end up being reliant on it. I still have over 2 months supply of Minoxil and am gutted that I have wasted my money. I havent as yet phoned the Clinic to tell them I am quitting treatment as I no there not going to offer me my money back, nothing like that was mentioned at the consultation. Question am I being too hasty quiting so quick or should I just follow my mind?
Sorry for length of this post, but trust me I could of write a whole load more.
