    Default Minoxidil tips?

    Hello everyone!, ive been using Kirklands Minoxidil for a while and im pretty satisfied with the results. When i started using it i started to shed as many others do.

    I am now a bit tired of the grease the liquid is leaving behind so i ordered a 3 month supply of the foam version.

    But the problem is that i can't bare another shed, i just can't. So im thinking of using the foam once a day and liquid once a day, and my questions are.

    1. Do you guys think im going to shed again if i switch to foam?

    2. If i do experience a shed again when im once a day liquid, and once a day foam. Can i stop the shed by stopping the foam and stat using twice liquid again.

    I think you'll be fine man. Active ingredient and concentration is the same that's what matters, and minox stays active on scalp for ~20hrs anyways.

    Isn't the foam less effective?

    Ive heard that man. Personally I use the liquid, and I don't think using twice a day vs once a day will make a drastic difference. So the way I see it is if your using once a day, definitely use the liquid at night. If you wanna go twice a day, use the foam in the morning (or a minox that dries fast) and liquid at night.

    If you're making sure to shake the bottle enough and dispense correctly, wouldn't it be the exact same thing?

    I just can't use the liquid with a shaved head man, the grease stays if I've applied at night into the morning, and even after I've showered.

    My scalp is shiny for days straight up.

    Well, i will give this a thought. I just need to hear some ppls who actually are on 1 liquid 1 foam and see if they experienced any shedding when first started the routine.
    Right now, im just too afraid to start 1 foam and 1 liquid instead of 2x liquid due to shedding risks. Driving me _crazy_

    I've been on monixicil for 3 weeks now and I have experienced major shedding, but it's not enough to notice a difference. Please note that I am NW2 with frontal recession and I am 17 years if age.
