Minox more effective with shorter hair?

[JJacobs152]

Has anybody thought about this? When applying the foam onto the scalp, is having shorter hair up top better for more absorption into the blood stream; compared to longer hair?

You basically get to the point but don't realize it.

Shorter hair just means easier application to the scalp.

Its simply easier to apply, not more effective

It's much easier to apply.

I recommend you use a pair of plastic gloves. I think that it makes applying the foam better for three reasons:

1. I've noticed that when I use gloves my hair does not stick to my hand and then get pulled out. The gloves make the application smoother.
2. Your hands will not absorb the foam.
3. When you use gloves, the foam does not melt as fast as it does when your hands are bare as the gloves tend to be cooler than your hands especially if you keep them in a cool place.

Good luck

It is possible that more of the medication actually makes contact with scalps surface with shorter hair and that more of the medication sticks to the longer hairs.

Just FYI, Dr. Charles, I'll probably be driving down to see you in the beginning of December.
