Do's and don'ts

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. So we've put together some simple pointers about what you should and shouldn't do while using Regaine®. Ready to take notes?

Do's
   If you've made the decision to treat your hair loss with Regaine®, then it's worth making the most of it by looking after your hair carefully. Use good quality products and do everything you can to keep your hair healthy.
   Try to use non-silicon shampoos such as Pregaine® which won't stop you absorbing Regaine®.
   Always use the recommended 1ml dose.
   Any massaging of the scalp should be gentle to minimise hair breakage.
   If you use a comb, make sure it's got rounded, widely spaced teeth.
   Keep up the regular applications, morning and evening.
   Be patient – it won't happen overnight.
   Register for our free Regaine® e-reports, crammed with advice and support to help you get the best results.

Don'ts
   Don't get it in your eyes! If you do, rinse them with lots of cool water.
   Don't stop using Regaine® if you want to keep your hair. Reports and studies of people that have re-grown hair using Regaine® have shown that if treatment is stopped, the user will not only lose the hair that grew back, but will most likely revert to the previous pattern of hair loss.
   Don't try to make up for a missed application. Just keep using it normally.
   Don't worry if you notice more hair loss during the first few weeks – this is normal and is a sign that your follicles are making way for new hairs.
   Don't give up! – Regaine® takes time to work so give it a chance.
