Rogaine Foam vs. Kirkland Minoxidil

I have been using Rogaine for a long time (more than 3 years), but I recently switched over to Kirkland Minoxidil. Here is my review of the two products. 

Pros

• Feels less greasy on the scalp
• Dries faster on scalp

Cons

• Expensive. Over $30 for three months supply
• Foam gets onto the hair very easily 

Pros

• Cheaper than Rogaine. $33 for six months supply from Amazon. 
• Easier to apply directly onto the scalp 

Cons

• Dries up more slowly 
• More greasy feeling on the scalps

Overall Recommendation

I would recommend Kirkland Minoxidil. The satisfaction level of the two products is pretty much the same. I don't think one product has noticeably better impact than the other. Kirkland is half the price of Rogaine, so I think Kirkland is better for long term users.

Shampoo Reviews

I have used 3 shampoos during my treatment.

Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo

Link : Amazon

Recommend : Yes

Shampoo feels fresh after rinsing. Shampoo doesn't have as much tingling effect as other tea tree shampoos, which I think is a positive. 

Pura D'or Hair Loss Prevention Organic Argan Shampoo

Link : Amazon

Recommend : Yes

Shampoo doesn't leave any residue after rinsing. It feels very fresh and clean after rinsing. However, my scalp feels a little bit dry after using this shampoo. Too frequent use of this shampoo made my scalp dry and uncomfortable unless I use a conditioner after shampooing. 

Art Naturals Organic Argan Oil Hair Loss Shampoo

Link : Amazon

Recommend : Yes

This one has a great moisturizing effect. Unlike the other 2 shampoos, this one doesn't feel like the shampoo is completely rinsed off after rinsing it off.
