Customer Reviews of Minoxidil-5% Extra Strength Hair Regrowth for Men, 6 Month Supply
Customer Review: Rather suprising
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered my first box on here but then had to dump it in international customs and ended up buying it again at COSTCO for around the same price. Im 23 but have the body of a 40 year old, very strange indeed :) I had to start shaving in 3rd grade, was 6 feet tall in sixth grade, and have pretty much stopped growing all around. Unfortunately, my hair took a hit too when I was 21. I had nice long hair but cut it all off when I went to an Army training course and it just never really grew back on top. It was super thin on top and didnt grow in the front besides two little patches. Also I had a pretty bad bald spot. Seeing pictures of my hair made me rather sad. Finally I got this and am very suprised. I usually bic my head so I continued to do so while applying this 2x a day. After about 2 months I noticed hair growing where it was not before. The top of my head is coming in slow and surely. Rather suprised to see it growing some good hairs on my hair line which is going to be nice. Remember it takes awhile for the medicine to work, thats why I continued to shave my head. This is definately better than Nioxin and especially effective if you started hair loss within the past few years. The price is right also, and be sure to get the 5% and not the 2%.Customer Review: great product works!

First off the shipping was fast and the product was in pristine condition. I anxiously tried the product not knowing what to expect. I used propecia and dutasteride for years and got moderate results. After only 2 weeks there was considerable regrowth and after 1.5 months I have a completely new hairline! I am not the hat guy anymore as I am confident to wear my hair and not have people stare cuz of the exposed scalp.
For those of you thinking of trying it out give it a shot its so cheap! I have to disclose a few things. In my research of minoxidil I have found it is best for those with recent hair loss, with thick individual shafts, I.e. coarse hair. Asian or hispanic/mediterrenean work best. Also those with thinning hair works better than baling/receeding hair. Those who have had recent telogen effluvium or shedding works great cuz all the new hair sprouts up at once! Finally the first 2 weeks I used the FOAM, then foam in the morning for styling & quicker drying purposes and liquid generic at night to save costs on the expensive FOAM. Also when you try the liquid it will make your hair look even more sparse so I recommend the foam in the a.m. I actually think the liquid is more effective though. Good luck!
Customer Review: So far so good

When I began losing my hair around the age of 16, it was no doubt a difficult time. After a few years of trying to cover it up, shaving my head and wearing hats, I decided to give Kirkland's product a try (though I always said I'd never use any hair regrowth product). A few weeks into using the product you'll definitely start to get discouraged because it seems like nothing is happening. However, after a little over a month I began to see small hairs growing in and at about 1.5 months they are beginning to darken. I've been using this product on the top of my head as well as on the frontal areas. Though its supposedly not for use on frontal baldness, I'm getting a substantial amount of hair regrowth in the area, almost to the point of reshaping my hairline.
The only downfall to this product is the amount it dries out your scalp. With twice daily applications, I began to have very bad dandruff and itching after week or two from initial use. I tried to give my body time to acclimate to this product, but I was forced to buy a Dandruff shampoo, which mostly solved the problem altogether.
All in all, this is a very good product and well worth buying at such a cheap price.
Customer Review: Good product...but cheaper at costco....

well, i can't say for sure this product will work for everyone...but its working for me.....i noticed that i am experiencing less hair loss on the top of my head, and new hairs are growing out on the hairline at the top of my forehead....so i have decided to continue using it....i have compared the product content of this item against rogaine and THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME....so why waste more money on rogaine when you can buy this for a lot cheaper....the last thing that i want to bring up is the price...i don't know why it never occur to me to look for this product at costco since its kirkland brand...so i have always bought this at amazon....but during one visit to costco, i found this exact same product (6 month supply) on the shelf for $16.97.....and i have been buying it from amazon for $26.97 or something like that.......don't get me wrong, i love to buy stuff from amazon because of wide selection, no tax, and free shipping....but for this item, i will be buying it straight from costco during my routine visits unless amazon can reduce the price to come close to the costco price.....so final words on this product....excellent product and superb alternative to the expensive rogaine...Customer Review: Let's be honest. It works but with side effects
Summary: 3 Stars
I am 23 years old and I started getting bald 2 years ago. I used to use Minoxidil 2% for 6 months and it was working without any side effects. I realized some new hair was growing and everything was fine. I ran out of Minoxidil 2% and decided to buy Kirkland Minoxidil 5%. (expecting to see better results in less time).
Side Effects:I have never had dandruff and I started having this problem (I bought a special shampoo to avoid this issue), then 20 minutes after application my head becomes itchy (but only for some minutes) and my brother's hair is getting blonder ( I didn't have that problem).
Positive things: It works much faster than 2%, and it is quite cheaper than other brands. It definitely works!!!
Personal Advise or personal point of view: Use this product if you don't have much money to spend and want to see some quick and efficient results but be ready for side effects.If you want to avoid side effects or have never used this type of products. You better start with Minoxidil 2% from another brand or with another active ingridient that avoids side effects.
Hope you find this useful folks,
