yeah as a young guy(19) the liquid was an absolute NIGHTMARE. its greasy, takes liek3 hours to dry, and it drips down my forehead everytime I applied it.

the foam dries in less than 1 minute and then your good to go. i just wish theyd make an unscented foam

i found i really like the rogaine foam i cant tell yuou if it wokrs cause ive onlly been using it 1.5 weeks and i am still in sheding but i really thinks its very easy to use.

Rogaine Foam saved my hairs! Look at the photos and take the conclusion yourself:

I used foam and sprayed it directly on the head and it absorbs better than regular rogaine. It is good for a change up and to "shock" your scalp, but economically Rogaine xtra strength OTC generic is best value.

Guilherme,

Welcome to our forum.

Though I am a believer that Rogaine Foam can help stabilize hair loss and even regrow hair, your photos tell us nothing.

In the before picture, your hair is combed to the side revealing your receding hairline. In the after picture, your obvious long hair from the before picture is combed straight down covering your hairline.

If you've seriously had success with Rogaine, I encourage you to post photos that show the obvious regrowth.

Regards,

Bill

in between, Bill, I know that you become a real professional in hair loss domain! why dnt you study some years and be a doctor ? I will be your first patient !

take care

i had been using the foam for a couple months... then went to the gen minox 5%.... i'm goin back to the foam when this goes... or the next paycheck ha!

to answer the residue angle for me.... it does somewhat leave a residue, but i used it to my advantage, like a weird hairspray (i have a buzzcut... so it helped the spike)

say la V old buddies .... i'm tryin to keep you

i've been on the equate brand 5% minoxidil for 8 months now. i had noticeable shedding at first but then regrowth started pretty quickly. i have had great results and a LOT of more hair over my problem areas. my only complaint is the greasiness/dry time.

i am thinking of switching to rogaine foam - only to cut down on the grease factor and drying time. if i make this switch, am i to experience that same initial shedding period again? i'd hate to lose the hair i regrew. it's all minoxidil, right? isn't that what causes the shedding/regrowth? i won't want to switch if i am just going to back peddle the results that i have experienced. can anyone give me any insight on this? can i make this switch without a drastic change in results?

At the age of 22 my hair was beginning to thin out and dull. Everyone remind my hair problem. I've tried many potion, pills etc, to contest my hair loss but nothing worked. Then I used Rogaine Foam Rogaine Foam, after using this product for just 2 month I felt my hair is completely re-growth and there is a great improvement in my hair. And one thing I didn't like is the product price, its much higher for me and I wanted to decrease it price.

I'm using Rogaine solution, just into the second month and I'm pretty happy with the results so far. The hairs are still soft vellus hairs, but they are there, and having black hair, they do add to the overall appearance of my hair.

I'm hoping they will eventually become terminal hairs... But a bit saddened about the thought of the effects of Rogaine wearing off eventually.

I actually don't have a big problem with the solution... it doesn't seem to be that greasy to me (obviously I wash my hands after) and my head seems to absorb it fairly fast.

I was thinking of switching to the foam for convenience, although I don't really have any complaints about the liquid. The price of the foam is actually lower, from the retailer I use.

I guess I shouldn't mess with something I'm satisfied with, but the idea of foam seems a bit simpler to use.
