Kirkland Signature Minoxidil Foam for Men, 12.66 Ounce (6 Count)

Back in 2011, my then 24-year-old husband's hair began to bald rapidly (from the forehead all the way to the back of his head). In what seemed like an overnight change, his thick brown hair became very thin and his scalp began shining through in photos. He was about to just trim it short to make way for imminent baldness, but figured it wouldn't hurt to try Minoxidil foam for a few weeks as a last ditch effort. We know it's not supposed to help his type of balding (more full-head rather than back of head), but he gave it a shot.Within weeks of use, his hair thinning halted. After a few months it had actually filled back in by about 75%. I'm pleased to say that as of 2015 he still has a full head of hair and has decided to grow it out long enough for a man bun (that's another story). On top of his head the hair looks full and the scalp is not at all visible. Other than slightly different texture I can't even see the area that had thinned away so drastically. When he tells friends he uses Rogaine they think he's joking.I'd love him with or without hair, but it's really nice that he's been able to get a few more years (and maybe more in the future) of full hair. I'll report back in the future, but as of now I'd say this has been 100% successful. The only downside is that he has to use it twice daily and that it has a faint fragrance (not bad, just not "his" smell). Putting some product on afterwards usually covers it up and he feels it's a small price to pay to still have hair.

The stuff works. Wish I would have started using it earlier. I wasn't convinced until I read the studies, like the actual clinical trials and metanalysis, about it and realized this stuff must be legit. I'm a physician (surgeon).Started losing my hair around age 20, first become noticeable to others maybe around 23...really a slow process, mostly on my crown but a little with the hairline...but really I was okay with my hair until like 27 or 28 and I realized I was still single and probs need to make sure I age well cause I have no immediate relationship plans...even at 28 though, if you met me and I wasn't sweaty or right out of the shower or it wasn't really windy, you probably wouldn't notice that my hair was thinning (unless you are balding or really paying attention to people's hair) So yeah I'm 28 and I started using this stuff about 20 weeks ago, I use the foam in the morning and the drops at night. Even after just ~5 months my hair is noticeably thicker...it is crazy..my hair looks like it did when I was 23 or 24...the crown is totally full and my hairline isn't a straight line like it was when I was younger, it is more of a U shape but the line is thick...before it was a thin line and you could see my scalp if I slicked my hair back...now the hairline is solid and it doesn't even look like a receding hairline. I don't think anyone would think I was balding if they saw me on the streets no matter the conditions. Even after the shower my hair looks great. Highly recommend.PS - I had no "shedding phase"

I've been buying store brand minoxidil for a few years, with the same success as the original. This is no exception, but at a better price. This time, I found Kirkland and it's the same result. I've bought other Kirkland products, and was always satisfiled. There are no Costcos near me, so Amazon is my store.As far as the formula goes, I definitely prefer the foam over the liquid. Besides having to use an eyedropper for the liquid, it is hard to hit the target on the top of your head where you cannot see. The foam version solves that. Some people complained about the imprecise measurement with foam, but I don't think that's a problem. At the end of the month, I always seem to use the same amount of product.There are so many variables when it comes to coverage (density of the hair in your target zone, wetness after a shower, amount of "regular" hair around your thin spot) that precise application in the correct volume of foam is always sketchy. I say, in the long run, foam is the better way to go, even though it costs a little more than the liquid.
