Application / Regime Question

[LFC]

Hi all, i've just started on Dr Lee's quick drying Minoxodil today, just after a bit of advice please.

I regularly use Dermatch and Toppik to cover my scalp, what i'm currently doing is this:

Shampoo with Nicorazil and Dr Lee's Regrowth Shampoo
Towel Dry hair until it's very lightly damp, then apply Dr Lee's quick dry Minoxodil and leave for 10 or so mins.
While my hairs slightly damp with the Minoxodil in, i apply dermatch and then blow dry, sprinkle toppik afterwards on the crown.

Is this ok? (still a Newbie here)

Anyone please? :lol:

this is what i've heard about minoxidil:

you should apply to totally dry hair. because you don't want the water absorbing the minoxidil.

you should leave it till it dries (only about 15 mins) before doing anything else to scalp, to leave it time to absorb.

You're breaking a few cardinal rules here...

You shouldn't apply to a wet scalp because this increases systemic absoption and the likelihood of side effects.

Also, don't blow dry because the product evaporates before its had time to absorb.

I think you should shower, blow dry, apply, wait till it dries and then style or do whatever you do.

Hi mate, sorry i don't think i was being clear. My hair is pretty much dry when i put Minoxodil in and i let it dry completely. What i'm wondering is that my hair will get wet again when the Dermmatch goes in and the Dermmatch needs blow drying. Will rewetting my head a few mins after the minoxidil has compeltely dried cause any issues? Thanks
