before i would get burning sensation like crazy with minoxidil which is why i switched to foam minoxidil, but i feel like foam minoxidil didn't do jack for me so i switched back to liquid, i like it better - and to combat the burning i noticed that when i would get my hair buzz cut, and apply the minoxidil directly it would burn like hell - but now i am growing my hair long, cus i figure if i lose this fight, i'll be bald for the rest of my life so may as well grow it long now and if/when I start to look like crap cus the hair on the sides of my head outgrow the front twice as fast it seems ill go to the barber and tell them to leave the top alone and just trim the sides and clean it up - and now that its longer i am able to apply 1ml minoxidil twice a day with NO problems 
(before it was so bad and my scalp was getting so irritated that it would literally bleed!) - i feel like with my hair longer it absorbs a bit of the minoxidil and kinda lets it go down to my scalp slowly with gravity, rather than with the buzz cut it would all just go to my scalp and feel like i was rubbing acid on my head.
