If the hair on your head is going the way of the dodo, you’re in good company. Not just with me, but with several companies who are here to help guys like us hang onto what we’ve got left for as long as we can.
I’d heard great things about Keeps from a buddy, but Rogaine has been around forever, so I thought I’d compare the two. See which I’ll be sticking with, and choose which one will be right for you.
The one that you can try without putting a hole in your pocket… Keeps
When stepping into the unknown with a new personal care product, cost is a consideration—I’m not going to invest too much dough in something I’m not sure will work. Rogaine costs $51.99 for a 3-month supply of topical solution and Keeps costs $33 for 3 months. Considering Keeps also offers doctor consultations and more, it’s an amazing deal and an obvious choice.
The one with a team of experts waiting to assist you… Keeps
If you’re a rule-follower like I am, or you just want to approach your new hair routine from an informed stance, you’ll want to check in with a doctor. Keeps has in-house docs who can see you within 48 hours for a free virtual consultation. If Finasteride (generic Propecia) is something you might be interested in, they can also prescribe that to you.
There are no docs available from the Rogaine team—sure, they’ve been around awhile, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have questions.
The one with reputable customer service… it’s a tie
That said, if you have issues with the product itself after trying it, Rogaine does have well-rated products and a money back-guarantee. So that’s reassuring! With Keeps, if you have any questions, you can connect with an actual human being, which goes a long way.
The one with all the products you need… Keeps
If your hair loss is mainly at the crown of your head, both Rogaine and Keeps offer a topical solution with the active over-the-counter ingredient Minoxidil. But if you’ve got a receding hairline or overall thinning, you’ll want to pair that with Finasteride, which Rogaine does not sell. Keeps also carries a line of thickening hair products like shampoo and conditioner, gel, and pomade to support your efforts between applications.
Who takes the gold for hair loss treatment? It’s Keeps for me.
Keeps is the treatment I’ll be moving forward with. With wins in the categories of cost, effectiveness, access to experts, and variety of product options, I would say Keeps has something for everyone.
