    I dunno, chromeo, lots of people have success with once a day.

    So I usually wait till my hair is just a bit damp to apply it rogaine, then I comb it into the general shape I like, wait till it dries and at that point it feels like I have hair spray in. After its dry I either comb my hair or use my hands to get rid of the clumpiness, so it looks like I have no product in my hair but there's still a decent amount of hold. I still have generally thick hair, very much in the early stages, just some diffuse thinning on the corners of my hairline. So I dunno of my method works for everyone

However I have read some accounts of minox ruining people's hairlines and then the hair not coming back after a year of use, which freaks me out....wondering if 1x vs 2x daily application has anything to do with it?
    I've been using it twice daily for over a year now. I can't really say what it has done since my regimen has fluctuated wildly over that time and I never used to take pics before duta.

    Anyway, I think the recommended twice daily application exists because that is what the clinical trials used. I remember someone saying that the half-life of minox on the scalp is like 18 hours or so. Thus, I believe that once per day is very close in efficacy to twice per day. I just always went with twice since it only takes a minute or two. Still ****ing hate doing it though.

    I'm using minoxidil 1x EOD becuase of the damn itch and flakes that it causes. I've buzz cut aswell so it's hard to hide.

    How long have you used it this way? & how are the results?

    I've been using minox foam for 5 months, along with 1mg fin for 18 months.

    I can't tell whether the minox has caused any regrowth, but my hair is definitely thicker than it was a year ago. I don't know whether this is the fin finally kicking in or the minox.

    And yeah, I the foam acts like a styling mouse for me two. It's great stuff - light and unscented. It doesn't leave any dandruff or powder in your hair. It doesn't act like a strong mouse or hairspray, but it does have some styling powers!

    Your regrowth on minox (or more specifically, the regrowth you will get for the dosage of minox you are using) will peak at the 4 months mark.

    Not true. It can take far longer than 4 months. It varies from one person to another. It depends on how fast your growth cycle is and how aggressive your mpb is.

    would switching from liquid to foam cause any issues with shedding or transitioning?

    Absolute nonsense!

    I have been using Rogaine once a day, but it's too early to tell if it doing anything for me yet.
