"Will Regaine® affect the condition of my hair?"
Regaine® products can help to strengthen and thicken your existing hair. There's no evidence that it will do
any harm but there have been some rare reports of a slight change in colour or texture.

"Will Regaine® make my scalp more sensitive to the sun?"
No. If you plan to be in the sun after applying Regaine® we recommend you use headwear.
It would also be a good idea to wait until Regaine® is completely dry before putting
your hat on as the solution can stain the fabric.

"Should I use a special shampoo while using Regaine®?"
It's not essential, but we do recommend using a gentle shampoo. Pregaine®,
also in our range, has been specially formulated to care for thinning hair.

"Do I have to wash my hair before applying Regaine® and if so, how long should I wait afterwards before applying it?"
You don't have to shampoo but if you do, you should then wait until your scalp is completely dry
before applying the Regaine® - this could take up to 1 hour. This ensures that Regaine® won't be
diluted or evaporate before it has been fully absorbed.

"Can I continue my normal hair care routine, using conditioners, wax, etc. while using Regaine®?"
You should continue your hair care routine as normal, but choose your haircare products carefully.
Gentle shampoos and conditioners suitable to your hair type are best and always rinse them out
thoroughly. If using any sprays, gels, wax or mousse, make sure that the Regaine® you’re using is completely dry before applying.

"Can I use a hair dryer while using Regaine®?"
You can use a hair dryer after shampooing, but Regaine® should, where possible, be allowed to dry
naturally. If you use it to dry the medication the heat will cause it to evaporate before being
absorbed into the scalp. Regularly using a high heat can break the hair so it's not a good idea.

"Can I go swimming after using Regaine®?"
Yes, but you should wait until the treatment is completely dry before taking the plunge. There's
no need to apply an extra dose of Regaine® after swimming, just wait until your next application.

"Can I have my hair dyed or permed if I'm using Regaine®?"
Yes. Stick to your normal hair care routine but make sure you tell your hairdresser that you're
using Regaine®. Explain that any massaging of the scalp should be gentle to minimise hair breakage,
and that if they use a comb it should have round, widely spaced teeth.
