In description it says "Please do not shake the bottle before use"... really?

Well to be honest no I don’t think you do shake the bottle . Originally Upjohn made the regain with minoxidil and it was just a lotion taken from the medicine and also did not need shaking . Now they make the foam which is simply easier to apply I am sure you do not need to shake it at all . )You do not shake foam bath wash either ) there is no need . I did my thesis on make pattern baldness in 1986 and minoxidil works . Be patient . First you may seem to be loosing some of the precious hair you have . That is normal . The roots are dead and need to grow again . Slowly over 6 months use you will see fine hairs start to regrow . If you see no improvement in 6-9 months the final layers of skin have already grown over the follicles and it can’t penetrate them. Very good luck . I can mention many famous people who started using minoxidil in the 80’s and still have great heads of hair in their 70’s and 80’s . Use exactly as prescribed and I always advised clients to only wash their hair every 3 days . People tend to wash their hair with every shower nowadays. This is of no help to the product which needs time to penetrate the hair follicles . That’s a long answer ! But explains no don’t shake it Jackie

why this item is so expensive now??? , if I bought the same in August for the price of £40.99

I think it's because people say it makes your beard grow faster and they probably saw a positive result after they bought it. The higher the demand, the higher the price.

Is this suitable for women?

My dermatologist said that there is no difference in between the male and female version as they both contain the same active ingredient. The only difference is the male is 5% and the female is 2%. This is mainly down to the unwanted side effect that it can cause facial hair. It has around my chin area slightly but I use a device now which has stopped facial hair (including peach fuzz) growing back. 9 months down the line, my hair is thicker and my fallout is back to normal. I have tons of baby hairs growing back. There are areas where the follicles had already died as I didn’t use it quick enough. My advice is, start it straight away, as once you root is dead, that’s it

After applying the product if I sweat while exercising then would this be a problem as sweat would travel from hair to face

Why not just apply it before bed instead..? It's unlikely that it will sweat back out and go down your face once it's been absorbed, but if that's something you're worried about then just don't apply it before you're about to work out.
