How Long Does It Take For Rogaine Liquid To Dry?

[RB1]

I'm going to be switching from foam to liquid as I've read it's much better/easier penetration to the scalp. The only potential issue is I'm usually rushed in the AM and apply TOPPIK to my hair once the rogaine has dried (aprox 30 min later). How much longer does it take for the liquid to dry (compare to foam)? I cant be waiting around forever in the AM!!
Thanks.

takes a long time to get very dry, but maybe dry enough to use toppik after not too long? best to experiment

Personally I find it takes like 3 hours, which is why I only use it before bed

Foam in morning, liquid at night is how I roll

For me takes like 1-2 hours to dry

Alighieri, yeah i've used the foam for 3 months, so far not much results but i know it often takes longer. I've just heard the liquid is better absorbed by the scalp plus much easier to GET it to the scalp through the hair that i do currently still have. Currently my hair strands prob absord aprox 60% of my foam application! That aint good.
Thanks for the info guys, but I'm still not sure what to do. 3 hrs is a long time, if applied 2 x a day - that's 6 hrs of greasy head a day!
Foam in AM, liquid in PM is an idea, but that gets a bit pricey for me...

Half an hour usually, for name brand Rogaine 5%.

I use both, currently. I detect no difference at all between the drying time of Kirkland and Rogaine.

U guys are putting on way too much if it takes more than an half an hour to be mostly dry. I use almost 2mL over the entire scalp and it only takes 30 mins on average. And it's winter here in Australia so it's cold as well

I think the problem is that "dry" isn't being well defined. minoxidil liquid is a little greasy. The greasiness sticks around for a while. But it's not "wet" for hours. So what some are calling not dry might be absolutely fine for use with Toppik etc
