How long does it take to dry?

Hi. Im currently not using Minoxidil, but I just wondered how long this stuff takes to dry and how long after applying it can you style your hair (i.e with wax)?

To completely dry, an hour or so.

A great trick is to wipe the residue from the outside of the tip before applying. This will help it get to your scalp and not your hair. What I do is use the applicator as a "pen" and draw zig-zags across my scalp. I don't massage it in since the applicator has already spread it around for me. This really keeps my hair dry and keeps the medicine on my scalp where it is supposed to be. I usually apply mine, brush my teeth, shave, get dressed and by that time, maybe 15 minutes later it's ready to be styled.

If you just apply it your scalp not that long at all say 20 mins. This is when I apply it too my temples anyway. If you get it in your hair its a bugger and takes a very long time to dry.
