Although it won’t grow new hair on a totally bald scalp, Rogaine foam 5% (Minoxidil) is a very good product for maintaining hair. I use it at least three or four times a week. For best results, you are supposed to use it twice per day, but I never use it more than once a day.

Make sure to also read my post on high strength 10% and 15% Minoxidil. Women are not supposed to use such strong versions as it can cause side effects such as excess body hair (hirsutism).

Unlike the old liquid version, the foam does not cause a mess or trickle down your face or back of neck, dries rapidly, and actually holds your hair like a weak gel.

Amazon currently has an incredible sale of one can for sale at only $10 (usual price = $30). Note that there are only limited quantities available:

Edit: Seems like the product is sold out at that price. Some decent discounts still available for 3-month supplies shown in the photo above.

Rogaine Foam in Canada

Note that sometimes, you can find Rogaine foam for sale in Canada. At the moment, 1 US dollar = 1.32 Canadian dollars. The three can product is more likely to be on sale than the one aerosol can version.
