Solution VS Foam?
Foam-based minoxidil and solution-based minoxidil are two different formulations of the same active ingredient used for the treatment of hair loss. Here are some key differences between the two.
To quickly summarize: Both options are equally as effective and usually comes down to your budget dependency. Your final choice should come to your own personal preference. Some users prefer the liquid solution due to price savings whereas some users prefer foam-based products due to easy application.
