Applying Regaine foam.

[ukmale24]

So i started on liquid at the start of the year, and after 4 months I decided to give the foam ago, which i've been using for 11 days now. First few times were a little messy, but now i've found my 'own way' of applying the foam, but i am blatantly putting on more than the advised.

Basically, for my hairline and temples, I'm spraying the foam directly onto the hairline, so it kind of looks like a worm goes across. Same on my temples, and crown.

Just wondered how any of you guys put yours on? I tried to put it on like they do on the adverts but it ended up a mess, over the top of my hair, on my hands and nowhere near where I wanted to apply it.

I just put it directly on the hairline like you a can lasts me over a month.

Has it made a difference to you yet? I never feel like I've put enough on, but maybe that's because it soaks in and dries so quickly, unlike the liquid.

I put the foam in the cap that comes along with it. Then hold the cap filled with foam in a glass filled with hot water so the foam melts. Then I can put it on my scalp using an eyedropper. Easy peasy.

...then why not just go ahead and get rogaine liquid? I feel like it would be less steps for the same results.

Because the liquid takes two days to dry. Liquid FOAM takes about 10 minutes, AND adds body

But then isn't it being dispersed around your scalp a lot more resulting in less Minoxidil in each area?

Eh, why would that be?

 

[ukmale24]

Well like, 1ml of Minoxidil over a smaller area is more than 1ml of Minoxidil over a larger area, right? Best way I can describe it as, is rationing. Like you're having to feed more people with the same amount of food.

sh*t, i don't think i'm making much sense.

Foam gets in your hair. The liquid works much better. I've tried them all. Liqiud is easier and more precise. You end up wasting a lot of foam.

The foam DOES make your hair look better though(like a conditioner).


Not worth the price for me personally.

Ive switched to kirkland 5% liquid and yeah it takes a good 15-20 mins to dry, one could rub it more in the hairline/skin and scalp just so it drys up quicker...

I appy it over weekends twice a day, and in evenings and rogain foam for the mornings. I usualy spray a small foam ball in my fingers and apply to wet hair into the hair line and back of head, and then massage/rub it more into the scalp.

It definatly doubles up as a conditioner and gives my hair a thickness in appearance and feel.

Unfortunatly the above is all that it has done in the past 3 years, hence the reason ive switched to kirkland liquid past month.

I will keep trying till early next year before considering other options, I think after 3-4 years if nothing has improved other treatments are the only option !

I always rub the liquid in with my fingertips. I guess that combined with my longer hair on top means there's very little time needed for the liquid to dry.

 

[redhot2k4]

Can you apply the foam to wet hair and then blow dry your hair?

 

[ukmale24]

How come they state you you should apply to dry hair?


I don't think the foam is working for me, i dunno. I might give this Kirkland minoxidil a go if it dries quicker than Regaine liquid. But then isn't the foam meant to be better? As it says you should start seeing results within 4 months, whereas on the liquid bottle it says 6 months.
