I'm 27 year old Male. I'm not entirely positive, but I believe I am developing a thin spot on the back / top of my head. I did some research into it, and have started using Rogain. We'll see if it's effective.

From what I've read, when you're young, 100% of your hair follicles are active. Everyone's hair falls out naturally and regrows, so the head of hair looks full. As men age, some follicles become slower to regrow strands that have fallen out. Eventually, in some men, some follicles cease to produce hair altogether, which eventually causes baldness. My understanding is that if you are a male whose hair is thinning, in some cases, Rogain will restore the vitality of slowing follicles, and can, again, in some cases, slow down or stop the spread of thinning or balding. In some very rare cases, hair will regrow. The conclusions I have seen basically find that Rogiain seems to be most effective in thickening existing hair, and for some reason, it is most effective for balding in the back of the head. Unfortunately, receding hairlines seem to be more of a lost cause.

As a caution, women are not supposed to use Rogain for men. Supposedly, women who use the drug can develop facial hair, and suffer other side effects. Though there is Rogain for women, I can't speak to its effectiveness.

I hope this information is helpful.
