Title. How long do you spend massaging into the scalp?
I'm usually done within 10 seconds but just tried for about 30 seconds, problem is i dont like to rub too much incase more hair falls out

I've been using the kirkland liquid for 2 1/2 years. Pretty sure it's not doing anything for me but I'm too afraid to quit.

It takes me 10-15 minutes because I have to apply it all over my scalp and I take my time. I rub it in pretty hard out of desperation with the eye dropper tip. When I do that I can feel it go systemic and since oral minoxidil works better than the topical I figure it couldn't hurt. At least I know for sure that it's getting to where it needs to be.

The way I do it is probably not necessary. It just gives me the illusion of having some control.

I'd say each temple I spend about 12 seconds rubbing it in, I outline it with the foam and then just run till it's almost dry. It's my crown/middcalp which I really spend a good 2 minutes rubbing it in making itnsure it doesn't get stuck in hair.

I've had great success with minoxidil. I spray grape sized spheres of foam along the hairline and then just rub for a couple of seconds, no massaging I just rub it until it's no longer foam. Takes me about 15 seconds to apply to each side of my hairline.
