I've read and heard at 30 minutes 80-90% is absorbed and at 1hour it's 100%...

Bomb ... where'd you read that ? .. assuming that's true, that's great ... however, if that is true then why does the rogaine brand suggest waiting 4 hrs for full absorption ? .. or are you talking about Dr. Lee's brand ? ..

No way, José!

4 hours is generally considered the point at which _enough_ is absorbed so as not to be considered wasteful if you decide to wash the rest of it off. However, even a certain reasonable amount will be absorbed after only an hour or two.

Thanks for the correction. Why does Dr. Lee reccomend that it is ok to take a shower 1 hour after application?

follicle.com says 50% absorbed in 1 hr and 75% in 4 hrs

I have read somewhere that Dr Lee's minoxidil contains 80% alcohol while rogain only 30%. Can this account for a better absorbtion?

I have longish hair and after about 10 minutes noone would even notice anything is in my hair. DOn't know why so many people make such a big deal.

Because for some of us it looks like we use Crisco to wash our hair when we use minoxidil. I only put it on at night.

Full absorption is not necessary for full effectiveness.
