My question relates to the difference between foam and solution. Using minoxidil 5% solution has dried out my hair to a certain extent and spoilt its texture(because of the alcohol obviously). If I switch to Rogain foam, will it be better for my hair texture?
The active (medication) in Rogain is minoxidile. Different delivery methods exist in the form of liquid solution or topical aerosol foam. The non-active ingredients that is mixed with the medication to keep consistency or drug delivery can vary. It seems some people are not as tolerant to such ingredients as it can cause dry or irritated skin.
I do not know if you will do better with the foam. I do know that the foam also contains alcohol.
