Rogaine Foam?

DethbyChocolate · Sep 23, 2014

I almost have 3 months of finasteride under my belt, and I started rogaine foam 5% minoxidil about a week ago, on top of the biotin and vitamin E Ive been taking as well. Ive been putting the foam on my front, and top, skipping the sides and back since theres not really any thinning there, and to conserve. So anyway, does anyone have any tips for the rogaine foam? Is there any way to make it more effective or work faster? Also, about how long did it take to get results for anyone that has had success with it?

my tip would be to read the instructions, it's supposed to only be used on the vertex.
I'm pretty sure the liquid formula is "extra strength" and tends to be more potent

It's only tested for the vertex. It will work anywhere on your body, even your arms. Cutting your hair short will extend the life time. Trying to get a little as possible in your hair by parting it with a comb and rubbing it in is a good way to conserve. Some say that you absorb more after a hot bath, since your pores are open.

Im glad you mentioned it working other places. Ive seen so many mixed stories online about it working in the front. Thanks, I guess Ill start applying after I get out of the shower. Hope it helps.
