Rogaine foam and gloves


Recommended Posts

  • Senior Member

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,

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.

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.

There are no hair follicles on the tips of your fingers so don't worry, you won't turn into a werewolf!
