Advice plz - Foam or Liquid on Short or Long hair?

[sammo]

Ok, basically I'm at a crossroads and need some quick advice please.... If the experienced users could give me some info that'd be great. My hair is feeling really thin at the crown.... Not looking too great at the front... But since its long I slightly just get away with it, for the time being....

Currently... 0.25mg propecia (not enough to maintain)
Revivogen daily (missed about 1 month worth of applications due to a late order arrival)

I want to add minoxidil but don't know whether to use foam or liquid....

#1 - I look better with hair longer brushed foward like the beatles but greasy liquid hair looks like sh*t.... Could I do liquid once a day is that effective?????????????????

OR

Shave my head and use foam twice a day but theres no going back and its not good for longer hair right? because u kinda need to apply all over the scalp in affected areas right? So I could never go back to longer hair???

Try Dr. Lee's minoxidil 5% (dries very fast)

Does your hair look greasy after it?

Don't shave your head when you are balding. Its actually speeds up the process. When i was 19 my hairline was receding from one side but when i decided to shave my head both sides started receding.

If you have long hair try applying gel or something to hold it. Otherwise if your hair is not stable then keep it short.

My two cents.

one .25mg of propecia may be enough fertilizer for your body, may not. everyone metabolism/blood type is different so dosages needed are different.

minoxidil will give you some pubes for as long as you buy it and apply it. Again you are putting fertilizer on your skull. I love playing golf on a beautiful green course, but I wouldn't eat the grass or drink out of the water hazard.

So my best advice, if it's bugging you, get a hair transplant. It takes one day of surgery, 7 days of being a scabby bum, and 12 months later having a lifetime of hair. I may be biased since I've had three very sucessful hair transplant's, but I rather drive a YUGO and have 10 hair transplant's than take fertilizer and drive a Ferrari.

I personally have been using the liquid twice per day for 4 years and have good results. You could use the foam in the AM and liquid at night. Either way I would apply it twice per day for the best results.

I'd recommend you take this advice with caution. It's really a very silly idea

I second that.

yeah no way im getting a hair transplant at 21 lol. Still kinda unsure about that comment about not shaving my head..??

Each have their pros n cons... From what ive read...

Liquid - Use twice a day - hassle - better for longer hair and peace of mind knowing your applying correctly by parting your hair.

foam - easy to apply only if you have short or buzzed hair, but if you have long hair i assume id just stress because i wouldn't think im applying enough or its getting to my scalp properly.
