    Minoxidil contains glycerol, in liquid form. Some people are allergic.

    Also, if you don't want dandruff, use foam.

    There's so many brands. It depends. Some liquid Minoxidil versions have 60%. Some have forty percent.

    It's not good for the scalp in the sense there is a very high probability of
    dandruff. It dries it up. Doesn't really matter what ethnicity a person is.

    This is a good question because what many people don't know is even
    shampoo will temporarily thin hair strands. But conditioners do not.
