Rogaine Foam Minoxidil Application Question/suggestions To Hair

[PantherPit]

I have been using Rogaine Foam 5% Minoxidil for about a week now (twice daily). My hair is some what long and I apply to my hair when its partially wet to be able to see the thinning spots best. When applying I usually put the canister right onto my scalp to try and get as direct as possible. I've found it difficult to strictly apply to my scalp. Due to this, once my hair drys its very almost sticky and rough from the foam getting into my hair

Does anyone have any application advice or similar experience?

Thanks!

I find with the foam if you rough up your hair about 10 minutes after applying it will help keep it from getting that crusted over texture

liquid is much better for making sure it gets directly to the scalp

Yeah my biggest fear is that its just getting lost in my hair and not doing the proper work on my scalp. On the other hand I figure, although definitely in my hair it has to have made its way to my scalp to some extent.
