Regular Member JohnKnee Posted February 13, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2013 I am not sure if this is covered or posted yet. When using Minoxidil foam; instructions say to run your hand in cold water prior or the mere heat of your hand may melt the foam before you can apply it. Instead, I decided to put the Minoxidil foam can in the fridge for 1-2 minutes to cool it (shake prior and post cooling) and it comes out like shaving cream. No more runny foam, esp near the end of the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Faizy1992 Posted February 13, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2013 WoW thats a great idea .. Though there's a risk of the environment inside the fridge getting contaminated I'm at the end of my 1st foam can .. and yes its stupid the way it comes out. Can any expert tell is it okay to put it in the fridge ? .. Does the bottle say keep in room temp ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Since13 Posted February 13, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2013 I put it in the freezer for 1 minute if the can is warm. I strongly recommend using plastic gloves when you apply the foam. I noticed that hair does not stick to the glove and gets pulled out as it does with bare hands since using gloves makes the process more smooth.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted February 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2013 In the summer, I have also placed the can in the fridge for a minute or tow. Works like a charm. I did try to find out if this would have a detrimental effect on its potency but could find no information on the topic. Personally, I doubt a few short bursts of cold would make a difference.

Regular Member Faizy1992 Posted February 15, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2013 I tried it. One thing i screwed was kept the can for around 15 20 mins. It was exactly same like a shaving foam and it was not even melting on my scalp, though it did disappear after 5 mins where as usually it disappears in 5 seconds. Now the thing that is worth noting is after apply and massaging my scalp when i combed my hair i noticed white white stuff on my comb which i believe was rogaine. Any idea what actually happened ?

Regular Member JohnKnee Posted February 15, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2013 You kept it in the fridge way too long. I only keep it in there for 1-2 minutes and shake it before and after cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Faizy1992 Posted February 15, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well I did shake it well. But yes i did it way too long. It was almost frozen .. Though we have good weather here in Karachi, Pakistan. Ill try this once we have summers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
