Effectiveness of Rogaine Foam compared to normal minoxidil?

[I_Hate_DHT]

No.

In most cases, the Original Rogaine is more effective than the Foam.

In addition to this, those with 1 inch + hair long, won't have good results with the foam.

But anyway, if you want to go with the foam, go ahead. It's your hair.

where did you get this from?

Maybe my english is pretty basic, but I think I clearly said why. :shock:

"those with 1 inch+ hair long, won't have good results with the foam."

Why? I think the answer is obvious.

Did anyone here with 1 inch+ long hair apply the foam and had better results than with the Original Rogaine?

ANYONE?????????? Hello, anyone?

Rogaine wants to sell the new foam. I don't know why most of you think the foam is like another product with another drug. It's basically the same stuff, both have 5% minoxidil. The foam has no ppg, so you can avoid "possible" side effects. The foam is more gently on your scalp, but that doesn't mean you will get better results.

There is no doubt this was a marketing move to attract more people. The foam is selling like crazy, and some people who never could keep applying the original rogaine because it was a pain in the ***, now are applying the Foam. Keep it simple, guys.

techprof,
What is this about liquid minoxidil causing wrinkles on the face?

As for the foam, I just find it very hard to believe I could get it past my 1 inch hair without getting at least half on the hair.

I guess it is at least as effective as the liquid, though. does anyone know the ingredients? Still a bit expensive.

college, I am assuming that alcohol in the minoxidil gave me the wrinkles in the face. They have reduced significantly after switching to foam.

sams club and costco sell 4 months supply for 50$.

all of my topicals have alcohol. nice to have one less topical with alcohol, but you still have tricomin. and shampoos have fatty alcohols.

 

[techprof]

college, i don't think tricomin and shampoos have that much alcohol. Correct me if I am wrong.

I know alcohol is related to wrinkles. When I was using xandrox 15 (80% alcohol) I had the worst wrinkles.

I commend Dr. Proctor for not using alcohol. If he is not using alcohol, then there should be a reason.

Techprof are the wrinkles completely gone???

I certainly see from where a few people are coming in this thread.

In this forum, you have such a good majority of people willing to heartily endorse minoxidil foam... even some who have never formally used the product. Or maybe I'm the only one who always takes every medical study with a grain of salt.

And we're already starting to hear about real world problems with the foam, including difficulty dispensing the complete bottle. Whether it's running out of propellant, or the product isn't aging properly.... who knows?

Although, my biggest concern would be how anyone with longer than 1" hair would possibly benefit by switching from liquid to foam. In this instance alone, I wouldn't be surprised if absorption is far greater using the liquid dropper over the foam. And I have yet to see anyone give any real world experience to the contrary. Anyway, if someone were able to demonstrate the superiority of minoxidil foam, I'll bet it would take more than one short month of actually using the product.

Greatest post so far in this thread.

You know, It's funny some people are already saying "Foam is more effective than liquid" !! They say that the studies show so.. :lol: :lol: They have applied the stuff for less than 1 month. :lol: :lol:

Some people are so stupid and limited to see the truth, they will always rely on "company studies" to write their statements... A lot of people here are brainwashed. They can't see simple problems like the foam not working on those with long hair. Anyone applying the foam tell me how the heck do you think someone with more than 1 inch long hair will do to reach the scalp? use your brain, guys... instead of saying and repeating "studies show so" like zombies...

Also, a lot of stores are already removing the original rogaine and replacing it with the new "unfriendly for long hair" foam.. Suspicius and very very strange.

guys the very first post I made for the foam, I warned that with people less than nw2 or 1.5, liquid might be better.

If you have long hairs, you will end up using more foam in the hair, but by if you make sure the scalp between the hairs get the foam, then you are done.

if there is no scalp between two hairs, then why do you need the foam or minoxidil?

 

[Old Baldy]

I-Hate: The foam ain't as bad as you think on hairy areas. It's tougher to apply, like you said, but it really isn't that bad. It dries well and is cosmetically acceptable also. Give it a try it's cheap.

I had the same concerns relative to the hairy areas. Like I said, it ain't as bad as you and I initially thought.

 

[hairfin]

well if your using the foam, it means you must be experiencing hair loss and even with long hair there must be gaps, its possible to rub the foam in the scalp, once youve used it theres no way youd ever go back to liquid, its just too much of a headache with drying etc, the foam is just too good

 

[powersam]

hehe

anyway, i would really like to see the study that had an 85% success rate. people have spoken about it before but never posted it, and i havent found it yet.

 

[suicidedude]

On this page http://www.rogainedirect.com/men_foam.asp there is a "view more information" button.

In it, bullet number four says

hair regrowth has not been shown to last longer than 48 weeks in large clinical trials with continuous treatment with 5% minoxidil topical solution for men

What does it mean? After 48 weeks, there would be no regrowth anymore? Even if the whole 48 weeks yielded nothing?

you are are freaking moron and know nothing about the scientific method or basic statistics if you are going to refute scientific double blind studies against your own personal usage an bias... why don't you leave before you cause yourself even more embarrassment than you already have... stupid dumbass

as already quoted:

"You don't need a proof for everything."

DHT: Does regular hair foam not work on people with long hair??? i mean, women or men with long hair don't use styling foams, because their hair is too long???... they can only get the end of the hair stiffened up??? you ARE a dumbass, foam is still a liquid, it goes all around the hair, down to the scalp, same as regular foam, i cannot believe that is your argument, but then again you claim:

calm down guys, or you're gonna lose more hair.

You are so stupid and clueless to understand something so simple like this. I will explain it to you like a kid.

Hello kid, you are listening?

Foam --> Dry --> Stays on hair --> Can't reach the scalp on areas with long hair. :lol: :lol:


Liquid falls directly on the scalp --> We use something called applicator.


Now, let's see in how many minutes you answer my message. :lol:

You are a kid with no work, no girl, nothing to do. You have too much free time in your hands, you enter this forum many times a day. :lol:


Ahh, I lost 3 minutes with you.. I'm outta here.

Thanks for the input man. I already know how the foam is and feels, saw it already.

And since most stores are replacing the Liquid with the new Foam, we will have no chance but to start buying the foam. Maybe our only chance is to wear a shaved or almost shaved hair, so it's easier to apply.

Good luck!
