Can I use men’s liquid Rogaine once a day as a substitute for the women’s foam? Will it provide similar results? (photo)

I am a woman in her early 40s experiencing gradual thinning. I find the women’s Rogaine foam hard to apply on my long hair. Can the men’s liquid solution Rogaine be used once a day as a substitute for the foam?

I don't see Tretinoin improving this condition, nor will Minoxidil make a substantial difference.  Yes, fine baby hairs, but not much more.  You'll need to limit the tension/traction.  Hair Restoration may also be a solution.
