i never had hair transplant.
I just bought a minoxidil 5% topical solution. should i apply it on the crown only or on crown and front? on the box it says only works on crown. is it really true?

Check it out: i just bought 3 months supply from walmart for $18(generic of rogaine made by equate).

omviki,

Though Rogaine 5% has only been tested for the crown, a few patients have reported success in the forelock and frontal area of the scalp also. I have also heard a few physicians say that they believe it could have some benefit in the front. In my opinion, I would use it anywhere you are noticing any thinning hair.

By the way - very nice deal for a 3 month supply!
