Other than for spreading it across the scalp, is there any noticeable benefit of using your fingers to rub it on? If it helps to answer this, I use specifically Rogaine Foam, not the liquid minoxidil with propylene glycol.
I want to know how much this will increase its effectiveness, because I have no reason to spread it manually with my fingers. I am able to apply the rogaine and have it spread as much as I want without having to touch it. It spreads as much as I want it to when it's in the process of changing to liquid.
I know one downside (at least from my perspective) is that my fingers are going to smear some of the solution off onto them, and I wouldn't want any rogaine to be subtracted from my scalp if you know what I mean. I figured then, I could just leave my fingers constantly wet with the solution, but this doesn't work either, as the solution keeps soaking into your fingers, not to mention it feels quite uncomfortable when that happens...
From what I can see, I THINK the only purpose of the rubbing is just to spread it. I don't think it makes the solution penetrate better, unless you had sebum on your scalp, and then your fingers "made way" for the solution by rubbing off the sebum, but I make sure my scalp is pretty clean before each time I apply the solution.
Thanks for your help guys.
