The conversation is about the potential format of Breezula, a hair loss treatment, and concerns that it might be greasy or sticky. Specific treatments mentioned are Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Switching from liquid to foam minoxidil may cause mild shedding, possibly due to differences in absorption. Returning to the original liquidformulation typically stabilizes shedding within a few weeks.
Formula 82M, a minoxidil and retinol liquid, improved hair texture and filled in temples with baby hairs for the user, but its high cost and lack of reviews cause concern. Another user mentioned using a similar product, 82F, which has become less effective and expensive over time.
Liquid and foam minoxidil are equally effective for treating hair loss. Liquid minoxidil may be slightly better absorbed due to propylene-glycol, but both forms work well.
Switching from liquid to foam minoxidil led to hair loss for OP, possibly due to a second shedding cycle. OP experienced allergic reactions to propylene glycol in the liquidform, causing dandruff and itchiness, which improved after switching to foam.
