I am using the name brand.

Are you all using the brand name Rogaine or the generic or store brand minoxidil?

I have been using Rogaine foam 5% for about 6 months now. For the first 3 months, I applied it twice a day, but after that just put it on once a day (evenings). My fringe has definitely not gotten any thinner and my hair behind the fringe seems to feel a bit thicker. It seems like it's a little easier to hide the real thin spots since I've been using it. But,like Jules said, who knows really what would be happening if we weren't using it. I don't find it a big deal to use..yes, I part my hair in stages put some on my scalp (the best I can) and rub it in. It does take about 5 minutes for me as well. I actually seem to switch back and forth between the foam and liquid. Right now, I seem to like the liquid.

My derm has me using the 5% once a day for five days on and two days off.

I have a very tender scalp and could not use clobetasol, so was advised to start w/ the 2% solution. So far, so good. I've been tilting my head back, working the dropper down to the scalp, then rubbing it around w/ my fingers. It takes less than a minute to apply. Right now, I'm using it 2x/day, as per pkg directions, but hope to advance to the 5% solution and use it less frequently. Does the 5% say to use it just once a day?

Well it appears no matter whether one uses the foam or liquid, it should be applied by sectioning off your hair. Does everyone who uses rogaine, use it on a daily basis as suggested or every other day?

Thanks Jules, I have a box of foam I bought a while ago and now my fringe has almost disappeared I'm going to give it a try! x

I've been using the Regaine 5% foam for about 8 months. I part the hair in stages along the front hairline and rub it in to about a couple of inches back. If that makes sense. It takes about 5 mins. I don't know whether it's helping to thicken up the hair. It's the usual conundrum with FFA. Would I be losing hair even quicker without Regaine? I'll never know but now it's started, I dare not stop!

Alice, i just stared the Rogaine few weeks ago so no results yet. By the way, I was told to use the men's 5%. I am going to try the liquid again. I thought of going to a hair supply store to see of the have the cotten strips that hairdressers used years and years ago around the face when I got permanents. Or maybe I just need to slow down and do little areas at a time..
