Senior Member aim4hair Posted September 3, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hey guys, Im currently using minoxidil spray and planning to switch to rogaine foam once i finish the spray bottle. I don't wanna rub the foam with my fingers so nothing can be absorbed there! So i was thinking to use disposable rubber gloves to rub the foam, is that OK ? Would it affect the result in any way ? If not, can i use any rubber gloves or i should use specific ones ? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted September 3, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2012 aim4hair, Using rubber gloves should have no effect whatsoever on the potency and absorption of Rogaine Foam on the scalp. I've always used my fingers with no harmful effects but any gloves should be just fine. David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.

Senior Member aim4hair Posted September 8, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2012 should i rub the foam all over the nw7 area to be proactive just in case im programmed to end up being nw7 or just on the top of my head, im nw3A or 4 i guess. also i had an HT for the hairline and midfront area, i had very little native hair there, so should i apply rogaine on that area as well for the little native hair i have left between the transplanted hair (since the transplantd hair does not need rogaine). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
