Sister Chat

This post is brought to you by Rogaine. All opinions are my own.

Of all the roles I play in my life: nanny, blogger, dog mom, or daughter, one of my favorite roles is being a big sister. From the moment my little sister Holly (she will always be my lil sis even though she is way taller than me) was born I had hoped we would be close, and that has definitely been true. As different as we can be, we always have fun together, usually with bellyaching laughs occurring throughout. I've always felt like we can tell each other anything. I love her and what kind of a big sister would I be if I wasn’t concerned with her future?

She'll always be my little sister

In the video below, we had a sister chat and talked about our family and the hereditary traits we share--our hair is naturally wavy and we have freckles--Holly calls them Angel Kisses. Some of the traits aren't as fun--our family goes grey in our twenties, we have a long history of skin cancer, and we have hereditary hair loss. As her older sister, I want Holly to avoid the mistakes I've made and to know there are options out there to get ahead of the qualities we don’t love. Luckily, we can do things about those hereditary issues, like dying the grey away if we choose (hello, me!), sunscreen all the time (I am constantly getting onto Holly to do this), and Women’s Rogaine for hereditary hair loss.

Did you know that more than one in four will experience hereditary hair loss? And it can begin in the 20s, which is the decade Holly is in (source: 2014 Gallup). I am a huge fan of Women's Rogaine to get ahead of this. It reactivates the hair follicles to stimulate regrowth. And it works.

This hair growth treatment is clinically proven to regrow 25% more hair with new hairs growing in up to 48% thicker than before.

Women’s ROGAINE 5% Minoxidil Topical Aerosol is the first FDA-approved once daily treatment. It turns out, Women’s ROGAINE Foam is super easy to fit into your daily beauty regimen. Just apply the foam once a day. You can get more application details here. Your hair won't get greasy or weighed down.

It works right alongside your regular beauty products--I really liked knowing that you don't have to change your routine, or change all of your products, just add an easy and fast step. If you have color treated hair, you can use this! You can use it morning or night. And if used daily, results should start in 12 weeks.

Since Holly has expressed concern about that hair loss, she will be using the Women’s Rogaine, and will update on here in a couple of months. I can’t wait to share her progress!
