How to Use Folli-Fix 5% Minoxidil Foam
Quick answer: Apply Folli-Fix 5% Foam to a completely dry scalp: take a modest amount on clean fingertips, spread a thin layer over the thinning areas, massage until absorbed and wash your hands. Men typically use it twice daily and many women once in the evening, following the label. RRP RM149. Minoxidil is not a cure, results differ between people, and continued use is usually needed. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you have a medical condition or take other medicines.
The routine
Dry the scalp fully after washing. Dispense a modest amount of foam, spread a thin layer on the sparse areas of the scalp (not just the hair), massage until absorbed and wash your hands. More product does not mean faster results. The official Folli-Fix how-to-use page has the full guide.
What it is
Folli-Fix 5% Foam is an 80 mL unisex foam with 5% minoxidil plus ginger and lemongrass extracts, made for scalp application. For external use only; keep away from eyes, mouth and broken skin.
Think in months
Some users notice temporary extra shedding in the early weeks. Folli-Fix suggests judging over months (3, 6, 9) rather than days. Stop and see a doctor if you get severe redness, blisters, persistent burning, dizziness or allergic signs. For more background, read our minoxidil and Rogaine guide.
