I have shoulder length hair. It is a bit more difficult to get the medicine down to your scalp where it needs to be but with practice you will be O.K.. It is more difficult with the foam that it is with the liquid. I still use the foam in the morning though anyways because it is stealthy. I find parting my hair in the different places I need to put it helps me get the medicine down to my scalp.
It's important for me that the minoxidil does not get into my hair, as I like to style it nicely
It's important to get the medicine on your scalp. You don't want to get it in your hair anyway. It's impossible to prevent any from getting in your hair but you get the hang of it eventually.

Tracy C, do you think foam would be best for my length of hair? Quite short but still some length for spike
I like the foam. It's just so much more convenient. I use the foam in the morning because it is so much more convenient. I use liquid Minoxidil in the evening because it is less expensive and convenience not as important. If I can use the foam with my long hair you should be able to use it.

How much time does the foam take? What exactly is your routine?
I've never timed it but it dries very quickly.
I apply it with my hair towel dry damp and part my hair where I need to apply it. Here is a page from Rogaine's site that describes it well.
I've got messy/spikey hair dude and use foam am/pm - i actually find it helps to style it too, Wish it hadnt knocked out a lot of my hairline mind you - but there's sign's of life coming back, sloowly.
I've been on the minoxidil for about a month now and same here. I've noticed my hairline getting weaker and stray hairs in the bathroom I just hope it comes back.
Yeah it knocked my hairline for six - but i took the gamble and have to keep at it now shit or bust.
I'm down south in Oxford area mate. No worries re that link - it'll save you a fortune, plus it's pretty discreetly packaged as well, so thumb's up from me
They also supply Kirklands Minox too - which is very cheap, i've no experience of that tho.

Reason: more info.
Im knocking on a bit now lol, still youthful tho-or I was up until the last couple of years
If I had the cash I'd have a Rooney but a TP is outta my reach financially so it's just Minox and a prayer really. Oh and Tocotrienols-but they fall into the prayer bracket anyway lol.
Ahh well I'm prepared to do just about anything to get a hair transplant. I know someone going through the same thing so hoping to go together, share the pain! I reckon it should be under £10k, no matter how I finance it it'll be worth it to have my image and confidence back.
I'm counting down the days until I see Dr Feller in London in May!!!
Fair play mate-it's good that you're going along with someone else in the same position too, apart from this forum to off load on I can't share my anguish with anyone really-but there's some good people around on here.

Hi Guys,
I thought I'd post this here as it relates to these two statements.
To those that say their hairline got weaker after using Minoxidil, was Minoxidil actually being applied to the hairline area?
I'm intending to use Minoxidil on just my crown. Is there any way that my front hairline could still be affected or is it purely were the Minoxidil comes in contact with?
I hope this makes sense and appreciate any response.
