Three. This is the goal. Full, full bodied, beautiful, thick hair. But the reality is a lot of women, yours truly included, start to lose hair in their late 30s, 40s, sometimes even as early as their late 20s. This, my friends, is your answer, even though it says men's do not be fooled. 2% is not strong enough for you to help yourself. When they did come up with a Women's Rogain At 5%, it cost more money. Hello, Pink tax. Just go for the men's.
