    How the **** am I supposed to apply liquid Minox?

    I'm on the big three and the minox is the biggest pain in the ass. I got the liquid version (Equate) and it seems I have two choices:

    1. I drop the stuff onto my scalp and don't touch it. In this case, it just drips away from the affected area and down my face due to gravity.

    2. I rub it in with my hands, in which case more gets on my fingers and hair than on my scalp.

    Either way I lose. Is there something I'm missing?

    Yes, you need to buy the foam

      The foam version is much easier to apply. With the liquid minoxidil it is better to apply small amount to the scalp and rub into the scalp with fingers and then we recommend combing through the hair too to help.

        u are aware that u will have to use that for the rest of ur life. if u stop using all hairless you have stopped will now start falling out rapidly. foam is more effective. about 85% with form and 65% with liquid. expect some shedding wen u start as well.

          OK thanks everyone. I'll keep using the liquid for my beard and look into some foams. What is the cheapest foam? Does Kirkland still make some that I can order online?

          The online negative thing I've heard about foam is that it doesn't penetrate the scalp as well. How do you get around that?
