I have used kirkland from the start and have had decent results, some people think that rogaine is more effective though. Good to see you are still charting your days without masturbating. Hopefully you are substituting it for some real ***.

I have used both Kirkland (foam and liquid) and Lipogaine and didn't notice a difference in effect, although a big difference in price. Therefore I now use the cheapest - Kirkland.

Never used Rogaine but in terms of effect I would guess that there wouldn't be any difference, similar to Lipo/kirk. Apparently Rogaine dries faster... Blah who cares.

Hey, guys, I was wondering

Minoxidil:

Kikland, Rogaine or it doesnt really matter?

It doesn't really matter, Kirkland's and Rogaine are both Minoxidil.

About the way they come, you can either get them in foam or liquid form. The advantage of using the foam is that it dries quickly and you can style your hair as wanted, the only down fall with using the foam is that it's very easy for it to get stuck in your hair. With using the liquid form, you can apply it directly to the scalp using a 1 ml dropper, the down fall is that it can take up to four hours to dry and can make your hair oily and thin looking, which is the last thing you want if you're suffering from thin hair.

When it comes to both the foam and liquid form on how efficient they are at treating Androgenetic Alopecia, in my opinion, I think both of them work exactly the same, especially that I've used both forms before.

So the foam doesnt leave your hair oily?

The foam will not leave your hair oily. Just make sure you don't keep getting too much of the foam on your hair when applying otherwise when it dries in the next five minutes, it's going to look brittle.

I used the liquid for 4 months and it was the worst; it took forever to dry, gave me incredible psoriasis and it leaked like a motherf****r so it kept burning the back of my ears and forehead. I got stuck applying olive oil to my face every day just to look acceptable enough to go outside. The foam on the other hand dries relatively quick and takes much less time and hassle to apply. I've only been using it about a month but its been a godsend compared to the liquid.

I've used Target Generic liquid (made in India I believe) and Wal-Mart generic liquid (made in Israel). No difference between the two. If I do decide to continue when my wal-mart runs out, I think I'll be trying lipogaine liquid, then kirkland liquid, then finally brand name Rogaine liquid. However I'm debating whether to continue minoxidil at all.

Any way, a lot of people like to debate whether foam or liquid is better. It depends on your level of hair loss. If you have a slick crown, or slick temple recession, I truly believe the foam is better. There is no hair to block it getting on the skin, and liquid on barren skin will just run down your face.

For people like me, who's hair is thick as ****, the foam is just impossible to put in. It will end up all over your hair and not on the scalp. The liquid, via the dropper, is the only feasible way of getting it to the scalp, and even then it can be tough. I've taken to using a syringe to get through the "shrubbery." Also, my hair is dense enough that the liquid never runs down my face or back of my head. I feel it slowly moving through my scalp, but it always dries before it reaches my face or back of head.

Okay, my hair is kind of thick, alot of foam would DEFINITELY get on my hair, so does that mean I have to get liquid?

To be honest with you Toms, in your case, I don't think you really need Minoxidil in the first place. If I were you, I would only focus on anti-androgens to combat DHT. There has actually been men who have had extensive thinning that were able to stop their hair loss, and grow back the hair they lost just using an anti-androgen without any Minoxidil. Using Minoxidil is usually for those who didn't get good regrowth by being on an anti-androgen.

If you really want to use Minoxidil, then go ahead, but as I stated, I don't think it's needed in your situation. Using either the foam or liquid form are both effective, the only difference is the possible change in cosmetic appearance on your hair depending on which kind you decide to use.

Definitely use liquid. You're basically wasting minoxidil and thus wasting money using foam. And worse than that, you're inhibiting the effectiveness of it by choosing foam over liquid.

You'll have to decide whether or not to use minoxidil. But should you choose to, you'd be making a mistake not to use liquid.
