hello everyone, I just found this post. I been using Rogaine Foam for 2 weeks now and I love how easy it is to use. I hated the liquid Rogaine cause it makes your thin hair more noticable. It leaves a shinny greasy look to your head. I feel and do see that its working, so I hope to get my hair back. HT is my last resort to my problems. Try using just 2 fingers, so you don't waste it when rubbing it on your scalp.

I just got a re-up of Rogaine, but the guy who sells it kept asking me to try the foam (it's the same price).

I said no, since I'm used to the liquid, but he gave me a free can of foam to try it out.

I've been using the foam in the morning and the liquid at night for a few days now.

To be completely honest, I'm not impressed by the foam at all.

Pros:
it is marginally less tricky to apply

Cons:
it's hard to get the measurement right
it's hard to get it out of the cap after measuring
a lot of it is caught on the hair, rather than reaching the scalp (and my hair is less than a cm long right now. But it might be easier to apply to bald spots.)
it's not actually all that foamy so it quickly melts

Don't put it in the cap. Better apply it directly to your head. You don't have to use half cap exactly every time, just approx a bottle per month

I have started applying it directly to my head, but it's still mostly getting caught on my hair.

Maybe I'm just not bald enough to be using the foam or something.

I also apply the foam directly to my head. Much better than putting on hand, imo.
