Minoxidil and long hair

[Bald Bigfoot]

Hey fellas! First time poster here. First, I just want to say that I've been lurking for a while and that this forum has really helped educate me and give me strength during this disturbing ordeal. I plan on posting my story with some pics soon, but before that, I have a quick question:

I've got really long hair for a guy - like below shoulder length. How difficult is it going to be to apply minoxidil if I choose to add that to my regimen? I've been on 1mg Propecia for just over 3 months along with Nizoral 1% 2x a week. I haven't seen any improvement and feel my shedding has increased. I get a good quarter sized clump of hair every time I wash (currently every other day). Also, should I go with foam or liquid? I've heard foam is easier to apply for many, but also perhaps much less effective.

Thanks in advance, gentlemen (and ladies?)! I look forward to interacting and sharing my journey with you all.

mate, stay on the finasteride only.
ive been on finasteride for 6 months, shedded months 2-4. then never lost a hair!!! for some stupid reason started regaine 22 days ago and ive lost a huge amount in 22 days. Hairline screwed from a 1.5 to a 2.5 Norwood. now have a bald spot and a thick line down the middle of no hair. I lost 300-400 hairs in the shower yesterday....i am hoping this will all grow back but its not looking good, still shedding! i do hope i report good news in a month or so
