First Month Doing Great..., March 22, 2007
I've been using this product for about a month now, and while I've never tried any other form of Rogaine or similar product before, it's been a pleasant experience. At first I was unsure about how well I'd remember to apply twice a day. So far I've only missed once. The instructions say to use about half a cap full in your hand (run your fingers under cold water nonetheless), but I found it was much easier to just dispense the foam directly onto my scalp, without worrying about it literally melting in my hand. This way I could easily target the areas I needed most all at once. Sometimes I accidentally do a little too much, and sometimes too little. But the little foam bottle actually does have more in it than I expected. Then I gently rub it in all over my scalp and believe me, the stuff dissolves almost instantly into liquid so you gotta keep rubbing it in until it completely feels dry. Thats when you notice your hair all matte textured like you just used some weird thickening mousse. It's not bad at all. If you already have thin hair like me then it actually kinda helps the styling process to give your hair some body and lift. The smell isn't so bad either. I've heard of other products having weird smells but Rogaine Foam smells decent. It's a little strong at first but goes away soon enough. I should point out that I've been using this product where it hasn't been clinically confirmed to work - in the frontal areas of my scalp and along my receding hairline. I've read and heard about people having success using the product there, so I figured why not. As of now it's hard to say if any new hair is growing, but one thing's for sure - my hair hasn't looked any worse. About 5 years ago I noticed my hair taking the same route as my brother and male cousins - the dave letterman style receding island. It's been slowly getting worse this past year but with the Rogaine Foam I somehow already feel confident the product is working. It's funny how I've heard about other people dismissing Rogaine simply because it's a well known doctor advised solution. And I've personally seen what happens when they decide to go the herbal or "all natural" route, such as all the nonsense you'll find online with all the glorious fake reviews to back it. Sorry, but those products just don't work for people - I've seen it first-hand with my brother and others over the last 5 years. They're now bald. I'm really glad I went with Rogaine - definitely satisfied so far, good luck to everyone! I'll update here if I can. :)

Seems to be working at 2 months!!!, November 20, 2007
I am a 25yr old asian male, who has been thinning hair for about 7yrs now. I have used the liquid version before, but I have to say that the foam is much easier to use; once you get the hang of it.
As I've stated befire, I've tried Rogaine before but it didn't seem to do the job, so I discontinued use. I decided to give it another try when I heard of the new foam ,but did not get around to it till now. And so far, I have to say it seems to work.
I do not have significant bald spot at the apex, but rather a frontal thinning (area that isn't indicated by Rogaine). But I figured I had nothing to lose. Initially, I lost more hair but that is what is supposed to happen. 1 1/2 months later, I started to see so-called peach fuzz in the frontal area. And now, after two bottles (2 month), I see that the regrown hair is starting to darken. Not incredibly thick, but darker newly grown hair none the less.
If you expect time machine like effects, this product probably won't do the job. But if you have reasonable goal, this product may definitely help. I mean if I grow enough hair so that I can cover it without noticeability, that is good for me.
It does take sometime to apply it correctly: TO GET IT ON THE SCALP NOT THE HAIR. But it is do-able. One last thing, as others have mentioned, I found it easier to apply directly to scalp rather than using the hand.
I should also note that I did take natural DHT blockers along with the Rogaine. AND don't forget Nizoral or other anti-inflammatory shampoos!!! IMPORTANT!!!
Good Luck to you all

Easy to use, May 23, 2007
This is much easier to use than the liquid version, though I would suggest applying it directly to the scalp and forget about putting it on your finger than on your scalp. The one drawback is that your hair seems to consume a lot of it and I wonder how much actually makes it to the scalp itself.
