Hey Kevin, thanks for the good work here. As a biochemist though, I wouldn't expose the drug to that high of a temperature (hair dryers can reach up to 150C). It may damage the active ingredients in there. But liquefying it is totally fine, I would just steep the bottom of the foam filled cap into warm (not more than 40C) and it should still liquefy pretty quickly. Cheers!

Thanks, I was worried about this as well as I was almost certain that overheating it would diminish the efficacy, but it makes perfect sense to not go much over the natural body temperature when liquifying as it would be the exact same as when the foam interacts with the scalp and dissolves into liquid! cheers!

Some great tips. I'm a 29 year old woman and I use men's 5 percent foam all over my scalp. I part my hair and just directly drawn a line of minoxidil onto the hair parts and pat it in. This method seems to work the best for me. The only thing I get concerned with is it is difficult to measure how much I am actually putting onto my hair.

Thanks so much for this video man... Just started minoxidil a week ago and the liquid would take up to 6 hours to dry and was really greasy. Definitely could not go out after applying because my hair would look greasy/very thin after application. Tried foam, but as you said, you end up wasting most of it on your hair. But with applying foam as you would liquid, hair looks a lot better afterwards and would be able to leave house after it drys, much shorter time frame. Makes using minoxidil so much more manageable.

I did this for a few months. It works but here's the catch with the foam in general: since it is alcohol based it has a drying effect on the scalp and hair if it gets on it. If you have a dry hair type (african, for example) this can be bad. On the other hand liquid minoxidil is propylene glycol based which is slightly moisturizing. If you can handle the long drying time, the need to scrub a little when you shampoo, and you aren't allergic, I actually think it is better for people with dry hair and dry scalp. Liquid is a little bit cheaper too, and possibly has better efficacy.

3 questions for you: 1. When the whole is converted to liquid through the application of heat, is that hot liquid in theory, not good for the scalp? It's been said to never rinse or wash your hair with hot or even warm water, because it damages the pores. 2. Should I apply the minoxidil to the area in which my hairline once was, or where it currently has receded to? I'm concerned to sprout hair on my forehead. 3. If I do get dandruff from the minoxidil usage, which shampoo/conditioner do you suggest I use, to clear the dandruff as well as strengthen the hair?

If I do get dandruff from the minoxidil usage, which shampoo/conditioner do you suggest I use, to clear the dandruff as well as strengthen the hair? 1. The liquid is the same temperature as it becomes when the foam comes into contact with your own body heat and melts so its nothing to worry about. You don't expose it to heat long enough to become hot. 2. I sure as Hell did before my transplant and it didn't work but my temples were slick bald. If there is some terminal hair left though it probably will help at least a little bit. Small vellus hairs probably won't become terminal though. 3. Coal tar shampoos are the best I have used for dandruff. Nizoral is good but it tends to dry out the hair too much.

Hi Kevin, I have a question, I’ve started minox but I kinda wanna test how I respond to it before I start applying it to my whole head, is it okay to start with just the crown and temples and once I see that I respond well to it, start applying it all over, or is there no point. My logic behind it is that before I get all my follicles addicted to minox, lemme see if it even works well for me, lmk if I’m mistaken, thank you

Kevin thanks for what you do trying to help people nothing negative to say against you. I've taken your advice on dermmatch vs caboki to heart and am following your lead. When it comes to rogaine foam I don't think it's really safe to use two or three capfuls of minoxidil when it says you're supposed to use one and a maximum daily allotment of two per day. I know whenever I used rogaine foam on my head even with one cap it immediately makes me dizzy and dehydrated. So I don't think it's safe for you to use that much man. Not criticizing you just dont want people hurting their health. I appreciate your videos definitely going to try out dermmatch thanks to your other video

Hi, sadly you won't find anything that is as strong as minoxidil as far as hair growth stimulants go. There is stemoxydine though, it isn't as strong as minoxidil but it does work through a different mechanism so that may help. You may also want to consider Alfatradiol.

I am not sure, but I think that warning is in reference to the actual container since the contents of the container is under pressure. When something already under pressure is heated, the pressure increases to more that what the bottle was designed to withhold, thus possibly exploding 🤯 Whipped cream used on pies has the same warning I believe. So make sure not to accidentally heat the minoxidil container if using the blow dryer to melt the foam in the cap.

@@pedrocerda6574 I wouldn't recommend minoxidil just as he said in the video. Its addictive and it can worsen if you attempt to have a hair transplant. I would recommend eucapil or cascoterone (breezula) but only do this if you can wait. If not, try by starting with topical finasteride its less likely for side effect also micro dosing of it would work.

Hey Kevin. I'm 19 years old and having receding and thinking hairline issues. Minoxidil works but with being a university student and studying sports and also frequently going to the gym I find it hard to keep up the consistent use, my question is would finasteride be suitable for my issue and would I be at a suitable age where dht and puberty is finished enough to not have any effects? Also does finasteride have any effects on muscle retention or growth that you're aware of?

They both will work fine but taking the foam and converting it into a liquid is the best since it dries the fastest, leaves the least residue and by making it a liquid it ensures less gets lost on the hair.

You said that the minoxidil dries within 15-20 minutes, so is that how long I need to keep it on my scalp? Or is it worth keeping it on my scalp for any longer than that before I wash it off? I’ve heard different answers to this question before, some say 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours... but I also noticed you said the liquid min takes longer to dry than the foam, so maybe the people that answer with 4 hours are referring to the liquid version?

Hi Kevin, thanks for the video! It's a real useful trick to liquify a foam and apply it as a liquid. However, I'm kind of surprised about the amount of minoxidi you apply at once. The manual says it has to be around 1/2 capful of foam, but you are using like 2 capfuls if not more. Like aren't you getting any side effects when using more than recommended? I understand that to have a better coverage I'd have to use more foam, but I am really afraid of gettings sides. Thanks!

To those who don’t wanna use a hairdryer or boil water every time they use minox, I’d recommend just running hot water in ur toilet sink or wherever and just tilting the cap full of minox so the hot water touches the side/bottom of it. I’ve tried it countless times and it has always worked for me. If u don’t have hot tap water then that a whole different case but majority can try this 🫡🫡🫡
@DaTripas

or get one of those small squeezy bottles with a tip (such as e-cigarette 30ml bottle), fill it with foam, secure the tip on and you can just throw it in the sink and run hot tap water over it while brushing your teeth or doing something else. when it melts you can use the same bottle to squeeze minox directly on to the scalp. that's what i've been doing for the past 3 years and find it the fastest method.

Getting it on the hair itself actually works as a wick and the minox will migrate through the strands of hair into the scalp where it’s needed. So even just a roughing of the hair with the minox will suffice as long as it’s done consistently.
