For some. I never tried liquid, went straight to the foam. I had a bad rash by month 4. No sides from oral.

Keep in mind that minoxidil is EXTREMELY fatal to cats.

I spray the foam in the cap then I heat up the bottom of the cap with hot water. The foam should dissolve into a liquid then I use a dropper to apply the liquid to my scalp.

Yes, this method is less itchy than regular liquid minoxidil.

I used liquid minoxidil liquid version last year and used to scratch my head a lot during sleep. During day, comb will help

I quit for like 9 months. I’m using foam version and it feel great!! I haven’t seen any results as it’s been 2 wks only.

I too switched from Kirkland liquid to Kirkland foam. The liquid was causing all kinds of issues; itching and extreme flaking being the most bothersome. It got to a point where I could take my fingernail, scratch my scalp, and get huge flakes that were everywhere I applied liquid minoxidil. Switched to foam, and after finishing off one can, no issues whatsoever. Not even itching.
