The Nanogen Experiment

First impressions

Some things worth mentioning. You are supposed to use 1ml (1ml!) of the Nanogaine. That's quite hard to measure out for a rookie like me. It would have been nice with some other kind of construction on the bottle so it would be hard (impossible?) to use too much. Or some kind of markings on the bottle? Oh well, I have absolutely no idea how much I ended up using. I hope it will last a couple of days though since this is a quite expensive hobby. The fluid reminded a lot of water, but a little thicker. It didn't smell anything special and it didn't take too long to dry, not much longer than water.

Speaking of the price... the Nanogaine cost £39.95 for one package, which should last for a month when you're using the right dosage. That's about a years consumption of Minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine, which is the most commonly used topical against hair loss). If you buy more you get a lower price (2 months = £32.45/month, 4 months or more = £24.50/month).

The Nanoguard bottle looks cheap but it cost £14.95 (or £12.49 when ordering two bottles or more...). I've not tried it yet, but it smells quite nice.. minty. There's "spearmint oil" in it according to the ingredients.
