I found that this treatment worked about as well as other formulations I've tried. It's easy to apply with the included dropper but it does tend to run, so be ready to work it in immediately. For that reason, I usually prefer the foams. The liquids often have other oils in them that can make your hair greasy, but I prefer them to this one that is pretty stripped down. I found my hair was sort of stiff and dried out after applying it, probably from the alcohol evaporating. That's a common issue with these but I found it more pronounced than in others. The smell is pretty mild (like alcohol / aftershave mostly). For the price, however, those little downsides would make me look elsewhere. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I got this 5% Extra Strength Minoxidil hair growth treatment by Colorsmith for my hair thinning on the crown. I also have experienced hair loss at the front part of the forehead, but I am okay with that. I only wanted a little more thickness on top. Application by dropper was simple. I applied it directly to my scalp and massaged it in. Instructions were followed for daily use. I totally understand this is a long term use product. Consistent use is key to success. I knew it was working because of the peace fuzz that developed on the crown area. This was a good sign. This came right around the 3 month term. I am now into the second phase usage of this product and feel that I am headed in the right direction. My goal is simply a thicker crown. Based on what I have observed, I will achieve that in 8-12 months. This product is working as intended. It's advertised results are accurate. Keep in mind, you must use this on a consistent basis to see a real world difference. I like it and recommend it. Read more

This Colorsmith Extra Strength Hair Regrowth Treatment has 5% Minoxidil which is the standard amount for most treatments for men. But I had read it’s okay to use in women too. The application seems similar to many other brands where you put the solution onto your scalp with a dropper. It is a watery solution so you have to be careful about putting light drops on and then rubbing it into your scalp in the places you want. As for results, I think you need to use about 3-6 months worth to really evaluate if it’s working or not. Read more

I am a female with thinning hair due to stress and hormone issues. After looking into various solutions, I decided to finally give minoxidil a try and found that 5% formulas are the most recommended. While this formula seems to be so far so good, I have a lot of issues with applying it. The cap the bottle came in was not the most secure and the seal was lacking as well. I don't love the dropper for applying because it tends to drip down my face and doesn't stay where I need it to stay (which is mainly on my hairline). This would be a great product if the applicator made the whole process simpler. Read more

This product came with very clear instructions and information about the drug and its uses. This is minoxidil, which has proven effectiveness to regrow hair while its primary functionality is increased blood flow.. This product specifies that it is intended for use by men only, not because it is harmful to women but because the lower 2% strength is enough to produce the same results. So if you are female, you can apply this one per day and should still get the benefits with less applications. The bottle is a 1-month supply, and the dropper is marked to dispense 1 mL, but you can use less/more depending on the size of the area that is thinning by I seriously doubt you would need more than that so unless you have a lot of scalp missing hair, this bottle will exceed the longevity listed on the packaging. I use a cotton swab to apply mine as itb will grow hair in undesirable areas if contact is made. That is why it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO WASH YOUR HANDS and not let other people, including children, come into contact with your affected skin or clothing that may have touched areas treated with the medication unless washed thoroughly. That said, it's easy to use as you just need to have clean dry skin. From the first day, I paid close attention to the appearance of my hairline. I could tell about a week since commencing a once-per-day application to my temple area that hair was growing in! Just a few hairs in a patch away from most of my other hair, but it is working! Now the box and leaflet also specify that this is just for the vortex, or top-of-head male pattern baldness, not other areas. So it may not work as well on my temples as it would on my crown but I'm not missing hair there to test it out. But already, my hairline is gaining fullness and the hair is dark, same color as my naturial hair despite my going gray early and the texture is the same also. I can definitely say that this worked for me. I believe the quality and quantity of the product give it a great value and I feel safe using it. Read more

My husband has been complaining about his hair for the past year so I decided to get this for him. While I'm not seeing what he's seeing in terms of hair loss, I like being able to provide a solution for him, literally and figuratively! Make sure you are following the directions of use and note that this is for men only. My husband is about a month in and he seems to like using it, I haven't heard any complaints. Just like skincare, it requires daily maintenance, forgetting to use this will result in a slower progress. It does say using it more isn't going to work better either, so don't waste the precious drops. My husband says his hair feels a bit fuller after weeks of use, which he can tell since he's the one feeling his head of hair everyday. I haven't heard as much complaining about how his hair is turning into his dad's, so I take it as a good sign. I am just about to order him another bottle if he hasn't already done so himself and we'll keep going with this product and see how it feels after a bottle or two. I think it is worth a try, this is at least a solution instead of just complaining and doing nothing to help your hair. Things like this seem to work differently for everyone so give it a chance, and remember to be consistent for best results. Read more
