- Is Minoxidil foam better than Minoxidil liquid? Dr Bhatti explains in detail about the advantages and disadvantages of Minoxidil foam vs. liquid formulations. The pros and cons of the two forms of Minoxidil are discussed so the community knows the which is better- Minoxidil foam or Minoxidil liquid.
Minoxidil is an FDA approved evidence based scientific medication to improve hair growth and slow down the hair loss process.
Alongwith Finasteride, Minoxidil is the mainstay of treating hair loss from androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness.
Inspite of the fact that its used for hair loss treatment is over 35 years old, researchers are still skeptical about the exact mechanism of its action to promote hair growth.
When we talk of differences between the liquid and foam forms as far as acceptance goes, convenience is key!
Also, if your skin is sensitive, the foam formulation will be your best bet. This is since it does not contain propylene glycol. However in clinical practice I have seen that the liquid form has better results so perhaps it absorbs better due to the disturbance in epidermal integrity caused by propylene glycol.
Consumer use studies tell us that Minoxidil users generally rate foam on a higher scale due to its ease of application, quicker absorption, lack of spill or dripping onto face and ease of fitting it into one’s daily routine. On the other hand, the liquid form of Minoxidil causes hair to feel greasy and leaves a residue.
Foam can be easily applied to a larger area of thinning or balding. But the liquid form is easier to apply to the scalp when you have long hair which may catch a lot of the foam before it reaches the scalp.
However in the end, like most things, it all boils down to user preference and most patients prefer the foam form of Minoxidil.
I personally recommend those with sensitive skin to start with 2% liquid and graduate to 5% liquid after 2 weeks. If they have significant itching and discomfort, I ask them to changeover to the foam formulation. Also, since it causes less greasiness and residue accumulation, it is better accepted for esthetics. Those with long hair and parting issues should use the liquid version if skin is normal.

Thank you so much! This was super concise, easy to understand and in one video answered everything I needed to know. Blessings to you, as well!
Glad it was helpful!
I am addicted to your videos , you are more like a teacher, god bless you!
Wow, thank you!
Yup i have both foam and liquid, and i can tell you the liquid is more effective and gives faster results. The downside is you get dry skin but with a proper moisturize your good. So definitely i would recommend the liquid more than the foam.
Thank for citing your invaluable experience with Minoxidil
You mean valuable?
@@daivikize Go back to your English tutorial. you don’t know what invaluable is?
@@daivikize no, invaluable is correct. Just like ingenious means beyond genius.
Any moisturizers for the face that you can recommend?
Excellent, logical video. Thank you. Liked and Subscribed!
This channel gonna reach 100k subscribers soon. More valuable information then elsewhere on internet
Thanks for your blessings!
Thank you 🙏🏼 …Very nice video and greatly informative! Do you recommend derma rolling and if so, how best can one incorporate this?
Thanks. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/J7DMv_iUnSU/v-deo.html
THANK YOU!!! ive gone around to several videos and they all just dance around the point. you got straight to it and gave explanations i could understand thank you so much!
Thank you for the valuable comment.
Doctor, you are always so through with the subject on hand and patient care.
Thanks
Great information. I have long hair and been using foam. I notice that a lot of foam get stuck in hair and also leave a greasy residue. I will try the liquid to see the difference.
UPDATE: I've been using it for a week now. It doesn't irritate at all. Much better than foam for direct application. As for result only time will tell. I've been using 5% foam for about 5 months now and I haven't seen any noticeable results yet. But I applied it on semi-yet hair for awhile. Only dry hair from now on.
Topical solution is better in those with long hair. Scalp needs to be clean and dry on application.
Doctor, does over dosage of Minoxidil after hair transplant on the recipient region has negative effect on final results?
Hi, I am fourth week after a hair transplant on scalp, is it safe to use minoxidil on my beard? No side effects on my transplanted hairs?
precise information.. thank you ❤
Does minoxidil also causes tolerance in our body for prolonged use...if yes then how long it takes?
Thanks doc 😊 you cleared my all confusions keep growing man
Most welcome 😊
Thank you Sir for your great Information, Sir i have been using Regain 5% minoxidile for last 8 months, still my thining hair is falling from the crown area and Still No Result outcome. Will i continue it OR it is a good sign of New hair Growth? Please Sir Reply, it's a request 🙏🙏
Thansk for sharing the video and I hope people's now about these things.
Thanks for the comment.
I used liquid for beard growth and got good results switch to foam and lost a lot of ground. Hoping back on liquid soon.
okay i will also continue with liquid then
minoxidil foam fits into your daily routine for a long time, the foam dries in 10 minutes, but the liquid needs minimum 2 hours to dry. But you can mix both, foam at the morning before starting to day, liquid 2 hours before bed
If that is the amount of routine that is required, most people will not apply it. Better move on to oral Minoxidil.
@@hairtransplantinindia What you commented later: "Oral Minoxidil is NOT a safe drug. It is to be only sparingly used. If you are a fit person with no cardiovascular ailment and usage is approved by an internist, long-term medication can be taken under supervision. Serious problems can happen with self-medication unlike any other medical treatment for hair loss including Finasteride."
@@staybased9320 Yes. I say that again. You need a doctor's assessment.
Amazing explanation differentiating the two forms of minoxidil. I prefer 5% foam because it is less irritant on the scalp. I tried liquid minoxidil and my hair seemed very dusty, itchy, and was hard to comb. Foam is double the price and has less efficacy than the liquid, but no itching.
Well said!
For the itching you could use any oil in your beard to solve it
The irritant part gives you a extra little bit of testosterone. Don't let it go to waste
you prefer foam because you have longer hair then most
I switched into foam..less itchiness but white flakes don't go away...
Hello doctor , I am
Applying minoxidil gain of dr reddy which has finasteride as well from the last 7 months , now I have started taking oral finasteride .5 mg every alternative day , so now can I apply minoxidil which doesn’t have finasteride or the same which I am already applying
Hi sir , what's your thought on minoxidil 5% + 0.1% finasteride topical solution , and also my doctor recommended to apply 2ml of minoxidil at night and q sera hair serum at night and keraglo men's tablet at morning
Topical Finasteride does not work. Finasteride, Minoxidil are the mainstay of hair loss treatment. All else is a waste of time, money and energy.
Thank you, this kinda helped me. I'm still going to do more research but this video got me thinking foam over droplets for my case. I'm black so basically I have a low cut. Hairline is beginning to recede & hair is also beginning to thin, especially at my crown. I still have waves in my hair but I guess now I'll be using the foam before I put my durag on & go to sleep
Thanks for watching
Hi doctor, your videos are very informative but I need your help and will be very grateful if you can help me. I got my hair transplant done 2 months ago, I was told to use minoxidil after 2 weeks but because of wounds I was scared and didn’t use it however after 7 weeks when I was confident enough to use it, I started using it. Please tell me if I have done a blunder, I worried if grafts place in my forehead might have died because I didn’t use minoxidil. Please advise, I will be very thankful to you
Thanks for watching. You should follow your doctor's advice. He knows your condition better. How were the wounds he will know better.
Thank you for the video. I have a question: Will I lose hair or go through a shedding phase if I switch from foam to liquid minoxidil (right now foam is to expensive for me)? I'm afraid to make the transition due to possible risk of loosing the hair I've gained with the foam version. Thanks.
Yes since it is more effective you should be prepared for some shedding.
There are liquid minoxidil with no alcohol content right ?
Hello Doctor. Is it true that Oral Minoxidil causes aging in a person? Skin Aging. Thanks
I'm seeing a doctor that claims to have formulated an 11% and 13% minoxidil product, i'd be interested to get your take on using a higher concentration minoxidil?
There is absolutely no use applying Minoxidil over 5% or taking Finasteride above 0.8 mg . The dose response curve gets flat after this dose.Taking additional concentrations just raises incidence of side effects without benefiting even an iota in measure. Eventually it will lead to poor compliance due to the side effects. The field is commerce driven and one-upmanship at the cost of the gullible patient with hair loss is the norm today. So stay alert!
Hello doctor, Last time I asked you a question and you answered me, you are very interested in people and your patients, thank you! I want to ask one last question. I used propecia for 8 months, but because of its price, ı switced to the proscar and divide it by 4 for about 2 month. (Using 3.75 mg per week) I started minoxil 3-4 weeks ago and I use it once a day. Hair loss has increased recently in the shower and in bed, and most people say that it loses its effect when proscar splits. My liver enzymes were high, it dropped a lot after proscar passed, I wonder if proscar has lost any effect because of splitting Or is it pouring minoxil, which I use once a day, I am very confused, what is your opinion sir?
Powder formation on splitting the tabet will decrease the actual amount ingested.. Moreover, the efficacy is lesser since by splitting the pill there is no guarantee you will cause active distribution of the medicine
@@hairtransplantinindia so what is your advice sir :( should ı continue?
@@ceyhunyener9278 Any friend returning from India can be requested to get 1 mg tablets along.
Doctor how many times a day or in a week should i apply the minoxidil liquid on my head like the prescriptions for the minoxidil
Once at night. Wash off in the morning.
Hello sir what is LCLT in minoxidil does it increases the potency of drug? .. Also please tell us about topical Minoxidil finstride combination ...
Watch: ua-cam.com/video/1JpK-fYPnkM/v-deo.html
Topical DHT blockers are not effective.
Good reviews for facial hair growth using L-carnitine L-tartarate mixed with liquid Minoxidil.
Good day Dr. I would like know if I can use both the liquid and foam at the same time? For example due to the fact that the foam dries very fast I would use it In the morning when I'm on the run and then in the evening when I'm at I would use the liquid solution.
Yes you may if thta suits your lifestyle.
Thanks Dr
Hello, I have a receding hairline. I had been taking 1-2.5mg f finasteride and .5mg of dutasteride daily for about 6 years, but I was just told dutasteride only needs to be taken maybe 3-4 times per week due to shelf life. So I have switched to that and added Kirkland minoxidil liquid. Do I only need to apply the liquid 1 time per day? Can I do it after I shower? Also, do I need to bump up my dutasteride or finasteride dosage since I’ve started to recede some more after about 7 years…? I sincerely appreciate your help in advance! Thank you!
That dose is an overkill
No more than once a day Finasteride 1 mg and once a week Dutasteride 0.5 mg

I used to apply alcohol based 5% liquid minoxidil. But I switched it off for 3-4 month's then I started shedding and I restarted minoxidil application with same product. But I don't know why I started itching in scalp and irritation and also hair loss due to it.
I need effective alternative to this.
Try this instead - ua-cam.com/video/A24J2-UOlqY/v-deo.html
You will need a doctor to evaluate you first.
Which brand of minoxidil foam is better
dr i have 2 questions to ask, on your experience do microneedling helps with hair regrow ? its worth to add if i already use minoxidil and finasteride for years and still my thinning continious slowly ?? and the other question is, what about ketoconazole 2% shampoo, is it worth for fighting other androgens on scalp except dht ? if i leave it on scalp every day for 15 minutes ?
Both help. Dermaroller is a well known adjuvant to hair loss treatment, and so is Ketoconazole.
Would you recommend the Foam or the Liquid form for beard growth? My skin tends to get dry easily, but I’m looking for best results
Lotion will be better.
@@hairtransplantinindia lotion in concert with the liquid or foam form of minoxidil?
@@gideonengelhard3919 Minoxidil is available as lotion (liquid) or foam. You can use any of these 2.
Thank you Dr. for proving this information
Sadly, applying the liquid makes my skin very itchy to a point that it feels sensitive (redness & swelling)
I was reading a medical article for FPHL and they were saying its best to use 2% topical solution twice daily and half a cap of 5% monoxide foam (so as to avoid unwanted side effects like excessive hair growth in other parts of the body.) I noticed with me, the 5% topical solution was causing edema to my stomach and face and I stopped using it. If I follow the above regimine, 1ml of monoxidle 2% in the morning and evening, when do I use half a cap of the 5% foam, is it in middle of the day? I don't find that the 2% minodile alone is doing much for me anymore. I am trying to avoid the edema so I cannot use the liquid 5%. But do I use the 5% foam in middle of the day?
Likely this treatment is not for you if you are having these side effects. An in person consultation is a must.
Doctor, between oral minoxidal & liquid/foam which one do u suggest for best results & why ? Awaiting ur response.
If you have no problem with topical formulation, one should start with it.
Hey doctor i dont know if you can reply to my situation but i started using rogaine 5% liquid for 6 months and it was working good and i saw hair regrowth but when i ran out i can only find the foam rogaine version and after a couple weeks i saw my hair getting worse and i dont know if its really because of the change from liquid to foam or what i should do what do you think?
Yes foam is much less effective.
Hair transplantation - Minoxidil
Question: I have Norwood 2. I have been taking Finasteride for a year, but unfortunately, I have not seen much improvement. Initially, I only took 1mg three times a week, but now I take 1.25mg daily. It hasn't gotten much worse, but it hasn't gotten any better either. I have a hair transplant appointment in October. Im thinking of going on Minoxidil and my doctor said I could try it out. However, I read on the internet that Minoxidil should be stopped for about 7 days before and after the hair transplant. My question is, should I start using Minoxidil now and stop using it for two weeks in 5 months because of the hair transplant? Or should I wait until after my hair transplant to start using Minoxidil? On the one hand, I want to stop my hair loss and promote hair growth as soon as possible, but on the other hand, I am afraid that the back-and-forth use of Minoxidil could do more harm than good. Or is stopping Minoxidil for 2 weeks not a big deal? Thank you in advance.
To clarify, my concern is that if I start using Minoxidil now to achieve fuller hair, the doctor may use weakened hair from my donor area that has been treated with Minoxidil for the hair transplant, resulting in potential hair loss at the front in 3-6 years. Therefore, I wonder if would be more prudent to wait until after the hair transplant to ensure that the implanted hair is strong and stable before beginning Minoxidil use. How long should I wait after the hair transplant before using Minoxidil?
You need to have faith in your chosen doctor and follow what his protocol for hair transplant dictates.
Hello sir . I am using minoxidil liquid. I am facing severe dandruff issues. How to solve and fix this? Please answer.
Hello doctor, please could you make a video on hair wash. People are giving so many suggestions regarding hair wash. How often should I wash my hair? I am applying minoxidil every day and I am washing my hair every day. Darling buds is the most trusted channel on UA-cam for hair loss treatment. 👍

@@torototsupreme2346 At this age it will not grow new hair but will thicken the beard. After 1-2 hours of dermarolling apply 5% Minoxidil.
@@hairtransplantinindia do this everyday? Dermaroller size should be 0.5mm?
Because it stays on the scalp longer (slow drying process), the liquid actually gives better results. But it is very uncomfortable because of the dandruff and itchy scalp. So for years I have used foam in the morning (it dries quicker and the scalp is not as itchy during the day). I use liquid in the evening. If the skin gets worse, I'll put 75% D-panthenol (1ml) into the new liquid bottle. (60ml) and use the Ketoconazole shampoo twice a week.
Thanks for sharing
It's better to use foam foam morning and liquid evening

I’m using foam minoxidil once a day on head and beard, and I’m derma rolling using a 0.5 roller twice a week. Can I apply minoxidil straight after derma rolling? Or do I have to wait 12-24 hours?

@@shortislife6627 Does not matter
i think people should first use liquid for better and faster regrowth results, once the hair loss stabilized a bit then you can switch to foam unless you have any problems with liquid version of it
Hello Doctor. Why do you think Hims is offering 6% liquid for same price if no efficacy (marketing?)? Also, it seems Keeps is offering a Gel format. How would you compare Liquid Spray vs. Gel format?
Gel will make your hair look horrible. It's all about having a good appearance and gels take away from it by making density look so much lower.
Dr.. can we use 5% liquid solution on beard ?
Foam minoxidil is known to have butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) which is banned in many countries due to side effects like cancer or erectile disfunction. Do you think it is safe to use minoxidil foam?
I am not aware of this. However, foam is rarely used. I prefer Tab Minoxidil instead when patients have skin problems.
@@hairtransplantinindia I don't have a skin problem. I just read about the contents of minoxidil foam and came across this. Would appreciate your guidance around the same.
Thank you so much for this video, very useful.
Few questions: 1. Is 5% Minoxidil Liquid is effective only for Vertex or is effective even for hair loss /bald in front also? 2. I noticed Liquid cause some stickiness. Can we use normal Shampoo to wash or any special Shampoo to be used. Kindly advice.
Thanks. Best is to apply Minoxidil at night and wash it off in the morning and the sickines will not be a problem. I is effective for all thinning areas, not the vertex alone.

Can we use both in one day like foam in morning n liquid in night?
Why would you wish to do that. But it's possible
Sir which type is use long trun without headack
Headaches happen when you use too much since it increases the size of your blood vessels.
From personal experience, I can confirm that the liquid version works much better in terms of results than the foam version. But that white dandruff-like residue that you get from the liquid version is annoying to the next level. It will make you look like you have severe dandruff problems. I'm not a big fan of the foam version but still using it because it doesn't leave that white residue. Because when you're in the office or visiting someone's home you don't wanna show dandruff-looking residue on your shoulder lol. It's embarrassing.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It matters a lot.
Isn't Minoxidil available in 10% concentration as well?
Hey doctor do you have any review on exosomes?
@@hairtransplantinindia i see what sort of problems did exosomes have? I understand it uses growth factors cell to cell communication and micro rna. Does this treatment in any way cause shedding?
Hi doc, should I wash my hair daily when using minoxidil 5%?
Also, can I combine natural remedies too while using minoxidil, like, applying onion juice on my scalp while washing the hair?
Yes you need to wash off the previous day's Minoxidil residue or else it will pile up and due to caking the effect of subsequent applications will be minimal. In short the scalp should be clean when you next apply Minoxidil. Yes you can apply onion juice if it helps though it is of not much use.
Hello sir,
1- Is it ok to keep using liquid minoxidil even if some irritation, itching and dandruff is present.
2- if i endure the itching and skin rash side effects, will it effect my results and cause more hair loss
I have been using foam for almost a year and the results are not that promising.
Oral Minoxidil is an option. See your doctor and get a prescription. Minoxidil in topical form does not seem to suit you.
Don't find any videos related to female pattern?
Is it safe to melt the foam to become liquid and then use it as a liquid instead , having that ease of application?
Thanks
Why people usee foam is due to less irritability. Yes you can do so.
I tried Minoxidil topical spray 6% for the first time last night. It's terribly sticky n greasy. And was still wet on my head after 3 hours. Also it was a nightmare to wash out this morning. It was all congealed in. Maybe i sprayed too much on first use.
Any advice sir?
Sorry to hear that. It seems you applied too much. Get the foam formulation and you will be fine.
@@hairtransplantinindia Ok doc, just had some Rogaine delivered today

Any change in brand can cause shedding which can be significant. How old are you. You can use Oral Minoxidil initially for 3 months after consulting your treating doctor. Alongwith the Minoxidil lotion brand you are presently using. Continue oral Finasteride. How long have you been on Fnasteride?

Possibly it's your weaker hair shedding out to make room for stronger hair. Or the other possibility is that even with full inhibition of dht your androgenic alopecia is the aggressive kind where other endogenous androgens aside dht might be causing havoc in the hair. I would definitely speak with the doc.

@@momentumstocks3493 New hair are not grown but the anagen phase gets prolonged with more hair on scalp at a given period of time. Lesser hais are in the dormant stage.
Respect sir, I'm using minoxidil tropical 5% but results is not visible due to less absorption .so, can i start foam based minoxidil because it absorbs more better .
Thanks.
Alcohol based absorbs better. Foam not as good. But Minoxidil will not stop progression of baldness. Did you consider oral Finasteride?
@@hairtransplantinindia yes sir, i also considering finasteride 1mg daily. If i start using Tugain 5% foam minoxidil which contain 50.63% v/w alcohol than it's a good solution if not then how can i increase absorption of minoxidil ? Thank you sir.
@@hairtransplantinindia one more thing sir i'm currently using 5% imxia minoxidil which also contain 40% v/w absolute alcohole.
@@shivampundir4662 That is the best you can do.
@@shivampundir4662 Good , But never heard of this brand.
Doctor saab, would you advice me to use minoxidil with tretinoin and hydrocortisone, last year I suffered with telogen effilum, though I got good regrowth without doing anything but still hair at many places very thin like diffuse thining and they don't grow ( may be they are stuck in telogen face for long). Dermatologist gave me this minoxidil, I am scared to use it, what do you suggest doctor sahab? I lose around 20-25 hair a day max, I count them. They all are all size like big, small, short, are they telogen face hair which stuck from long time?
Your hair fall should not be of any concern to you. It is absolutely normal to lose 100 hair per day.
Regarding medications to be used, please ask your prescribing doctor to guide you as you already have a dermatological condition.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you doctor saab, what if I want to take consultation from you because I trust you more than anyone, because I feel you got the best knowledge.

Rogaine foam vs liquid which is best for scalp hair
Best is liquid form.
great content once again
I have a question that my doctor's don't seem to be able to answer
I have some acne scars and psoriasis on my head so I have to take some medication to remove them. which is accutane. that medication is known to cause hair loss or weaken hair for some people (maybe it's for all people but the reason not all notice it much is cause they have too good hair genetics to bother with some thinning)
many sites say the hair loss it causes is only temporally and long term makes no difference but some random people disagree. the main issue I believe is it makes your skin extremely dry and that's what kills the hair
my question is, if it's only temporally will it be temporally for a balding man too? or will it be mostly permanent for me since my hair is alrdy weak and it might completely kill them until I finish the medication ( which takes 6-12 months )
I've had a 4k hair transplant 5 months ago and I'm on fin and topical min
even if you don't know I'd still like to hear your opinion on this. ty
I am a plastic surgeon and not a dermatologist so skin conditions is not my area of interest. Surgery for baldness is.. But it is common knowledge that Accutane or isotretinoin causes hair loss due to a variety of factors- since it is a form of Vit. A and too much can cause thinning, it has an interplay with various hormones and this can cause shedding in those susceptible to androgenetic alopecia. Hair loss with accutane in those with the baldness gene can have permanent hair loss. In those who do not have androgenetic alopecia will have shedding but hair will return.
@@hairtransplantinindia could I do something to avoid it doc? like keep using fin and minoxidil? or keeping my head moisturized? or is it just the too much vitamin that kills the hair? I really don't know what to do :/ I need my hair but also need to stop psoriasis
@@xKyriakoZ just make sure you treat along side internally ..western people are known for flawless skin and for less likely vulnerable to skin conditions ...even it varies with individual ,,its just a meta data compared to other regional people....so adoption some lifestyle they follow ...you can try out their diet ..most of thier diets are abundance of probiotic foods ... probiotic is known for improving overall and gut health and may reduce lactose intolerance in some individuals ... You can try out kimchi ,greek yogurt, sourdough bread, etc ...its better to do something than doing nothing ...i hope things clarifiers ...A diet may not be the cure for skin conditions like psoriasis,SD etc but it may act as catalyst to improve the condition and reduce the symptoms ..... don't cut sugar and sodium completey ,,your body will crave for that , maintaining the balance is the key👍👍👍...simple try to take probiotics from foods,,it can be found in any fermented food ...less processed fermented foods like kimchi has great amount of probiotics.........get a book "A clear skin Diet" i can't remember the author's name ..she had a extreme dermatitis around her T section and some all over body, she did overcome and wrote a book on how diet helped her in conjunction with medical treatments ...it was great book tho give it a shot
@@xKyriakoZ A good dermatologist will have an answer to this. As I said I am not a dermatologist.
@@innathala6516 thanks for the info but Its not likely I'll prefer that way over the pill

Just started the MIN 5% foam. When should I take this? Morning, night, after shower?
Apply at night on clean scalp. wash off in the morning.
And sir can dandruff cause hair loss I see some of my hair root attached with dandruff particle will my hair grow back at that place?
Dandruff can cause more hair loss since you are scratching more often. Otherwise the link is not significant.
Sir, I have been using minoxidil tugain 5% for 3.5 months , it's very effective ( I see thin hairs on my frontline area) but itching and white flakes..I am using anti dandruff shampoo..it's not last for 2 days. So I want to switch into foam or non alcoholic minoxidil.. could you suggest which form is best and recommend some minoxidils in india..I am willing to use minoxidil for 10 years..but itching and white flakes gives me very irritating scalp..🙏
Think of oral minoxidil and you will be happy

Hello sir,
I was using alcohol based minoxidil for 2 years. Gave it a break for a month or two. Then resumed it back. But I don't know how my scalp become sensitive. And now that same product is not getting tolerated by my scalp. I tried switching between top brands but the problem persisted. Lost tremendous hair strands just due to this insensitivity.
I have not tried foam base yet. Please advice me what can I do to get back those lost hairs.
You may have some skin condition. Take an opinion from a local dermatologist.
Sir I took break for just two months and the hairfall is for sure because of alcohol/prop glycol based minoxidil application.
@@mypassiveincome2285 bro same with me, all of a sudden my scalp is getting irritated by the application of topical minoxidil which has alcohol....what are you using now, please share 🥺
Hello ! The first time I used Minoxidil my hair grew and my scalp was not dry. I took a break and returned to Minoxidil 2% for the second time. Please advise me, I have been using Minoxidil 2% for about 10 months, at first the hair loss decreased, scalp became dry, short hair falls out. Now the hair loss has increased. Is there any sense to change to Minoxidil foam 2% or not? Maybe 2 % does not work anymore, that's why hair is falling out and we should switch to 5 % and how to get rid of dry scalp? Thanks !

Can I Use Minoxidil for Beard Growth .. Plz reply Sir!

Yes you can try it since you still have a year's period for beard to grow out.
Could you tell me please.. Which one can i use? Please and how to use?
If your skin is not too sensitive, use lotion. The wrapper inside the container has explained the application in great detail with pictures.
Sir if I use minoxidil in temple region will it affect my crown hair ? Will my crown hair be a part of initial shed in other (like if I apply minoxidil in my beard region will it affect head hairs will it shed ?)
The shedding that happens on stopping its topical applicaion, will occur only in the area it is applied to.
