Answer first
To apply Folli-Fix, start with a dry scalp, dispense the foam onto cool fingertips (warm hands melt it), part the hair over the thinning area, and massage the foam onto the scalp skin. Wash your hands afterwards and let it dry before bed or styling. Women use it once daily.
Steps
Dry scalp, cool fingers, part hair, massage onto skin, wash hands.
Common mistakes
Putting foam on the hair instead of the scalp, using more than directed, and applying to a wet or irritated scalp.
Questions
Why is the foam melting?
Rinse your fingers in cold water and dry them first.
Can I rinse it off after an hour?
Follow the pack directions on drying time.
