What’s the consensus here? Is once a day enough?
Using Minoxidil once a day vs twice?

Brand new to the forum, and have started a minoxidil regimen about 1.5 months ago, but pretty much just once a day because of the way the foam makes my hair look if I put it on in the morning and have to go out.
Any suggestions on making thin crown hair look thicker after applying in the morning? My thin hair looks best / most coverage if it is washed and dried with nothing in it.
Also - how do you guys ensure the majority of the foam is getting to the scalp? I have been putting a little foam on my hair and then making a lot of it stand up straight and putting the applicator tip on the skin between the hair and squirting very small amounts all over and then massaging the individual foam spots in all over. This is versus just putting a glob of the foam on my hand and splatting it down on top of my head
. Am I helping by doing this?

Oral minoxidil could help you avoid these problems.
Could use something like a dry powder, or perhaps a dry wax. You sound like you are doing a good job applying it, massaging is important for topical. You could also lightly needle to enhance absorption. Some people heat up the foam minoxidil and turn it into liquid, by surrounding the capful in warm water, or even microwaving. Foam minoxidil does not contain PG, but the liquid version does, which makes hair even more greasy. This is why some people turn foam into liquid as it may be easier to apply.

Same here. I use it once a night because of the way it makes my hair look.Brand new to the forum, and have started a minoxidil regimen about 1.5 months ago, but pretty much just once a day because of the way the foam makes my hair look if I put it on in the morning and have to go out.

Your regimen looks identical to mine. Are you seeing results? How long have you been doing it?
I have very long hair which I always keep tied up in a high pony tail or manbun (i.e. cover up game). I let it all down before I apply the minoxidil foam and massage my hair backwards before spraying a medium size blob into my palm and massaging in thoroughly. I then do a small blob on each temple recession area and massage upwards (starting to see some regrowth here). I then do a large blob in the crown area. I then let it dry in whilst I brush my teeth then tie my hair up again.Brand new to the forum, and have started a minoxidil regimen about 1.5 months ago, but pretty much just once a day because of the way the foam makes my hair look if I put it on in the morning and have to go out.

Guys, there are Reddit forums for this sheet. Can we keep the conversations civil and on point? Feel free to DM each other with love notes but let's try to keep the public discussion clean.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading a couple years back about a study citing that results for once a day compared to 2x were minimal to non-existent.

Meaning that the differences in the outcome were minimal?

Yes. Like I said, take that with a grain of salt, but there is a reason so many people only do it once a day. I'd find the study but I don't have the patience for that after today. Sorry.
