Yes, but not everything that is online is from a reliable source. However, I think that the following link contains reliable information on how to apply Minoxil foam: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/minoxidil-topical-route/proper-use/drg-20068750

You don’t need a guide just put it on scalp.
It barely works in best circumstances.

Hi,

if you'd ask *me*, the best way to apply minoxidil foam is to liquify it first (fill the bottle's cap about half full of foam, then hold the cap into some hot water until the foam melts). Then take a syringe with a blunt needle and use it to apply the liquified foam directly to the scalp, where it has the most effect (using it that way ensures that as little foam/liquid as possible is being caught in the hair). Works very well that way.

In the link from Mayoclinic it says the following: "Use your fingers to spread the foam over the hair loss area and gently massage into your scalp."
For how long should I massage it into my scalp?

 

[Kaus Klinski]

No need to massage it into the scalp at all, just apply, distribute it evenly with your fingertips and let it dry. Done.

Dermarolling is a must with minoxidil these days, what i do is wet my hair dermaroll for a couple of minutes, apply minoxidil foam then dermaroll for another minute or so. Seems to work okay for me.

I've often thought about doing this. How have your results been since doing this? Better than liquid or straight foam?

 

[Kaus Klinski]

Can't say anything about the results, I wear my hair really short, so it shouldn't make any difference, because in both ways the foam reaches the scalp easily, but in general, a liquid is easier to apply directly to the scalp rather than getting caught in the hair where it won't do any good. Recently, I liquified a whole can of Rogaine foam at once (I have it in a glass bottle now), makes it a lot faster to apply because there is no need to liquify every single portion of the foam prior to each application. It behaves just like liquid Rogaine, but without the skin irritation from the high propylene glycol content in the Rogaine liquid. In fact, the only reason I'm using the foam instead of the liquid in the first place is an issue with scalp irritation.
