rogaine application method question

[templetime]

when i apply rogaine foam i rub it in then use a wash cloth to lightly pull it off of my hair (after rubbing it into my scalp) which allows me to head out to work without a rogaine head

what do you guys make of this, is it alright to do without losing its effectiveness?

How many times do you use it per day? If you're using it only once, apply it right before going to bed, and that'll solve this issue. Otherwise, apply immediately after showering. I shower, put on my towel, apply it --> wash hands --> then rest of the routine.

Atleast by time I'm ready, have eaten breakfast or not, and by time I get to school most of it has been absorbed and you can casually rub your hand through your head and your hair will turn and look dry.

How intensely are we supposed to rub in Rogaine? I slap it on and kind of rub my fingers in circles for a few seconds, but is that enough? Should we be applying much pressure?

I don't follow the directions and diffusely put it through my scalp. Both in the temples, scalp, and crown. I usually just brush my hand through my scalp so it spreads through evenly. I keep doing it, until the hair dries up. Usually takes about 15-20 seconds.
