And so, you know how you have your daily allotted hair loss in the shower?

I was having like postpartum hair loss and it was very, very scary.

So of course I called my dermatology friends and they're like, try this, try that.

You know, we had blood work done.

They looked for low iron and all the other things that could be.

And then they're like, okay, we'll try topical minoxidil.

And so it's basically generic Rogaine.

And get the men's strength, the 5% extra strength.

Don't worry about the women's.

You don't need that.

And that seemed to work really well.

And I did it for a few years, but it just got messy, right?

I was using the alcohol-based and it would make my hair kind of sticky.

And now that I color my hair to color the grays, the whole like hair map of when to wash my hair, but I got to put the minoxidil in, but I can't have minoxidil in because the color won't stick.

Just got to be a lot.

And then my derm friends were like, well, just switch to oral.

And I was like, oh.

Okay, so the oral doses, you only need about 2.5 milligrams and they make it in a five.

So I just cut this in half and it is $5 for a nine month, for a three month supply.

It's really, it's generic.
