How to minoxidil with limited time in morning

[hair2stay]

Hi,.

I have short hair, My crown is starting to thin. I only have a about a twenty minute window to put on the minoxidil. Nighttime is easier.

How much time do I need in the morning to apply minoxidil? ( I know the kirkland liquid takes the longest). It sounds like it takes hours to dry (at least the liquid).

Can I leave home without it dried? Is it that it LOOKS greasy until dry or is there a more practical reason why I need to let it dry

Can I add a pomade or hair styling product before it dries?

Where I'm just starting to thin on the crown and I am 44 can I simply apply it to the crown? 2% to start or right to 5%? one time a day to start?

Thank you all

I would suggest putting it on before you sleep then washing/rinsing it off in the morning, otherwise your hair will look unappealing during the day

Thanks Spring, I'm going to go with one time a day to start.... So this is what I'll do. Unappealing as in greasy?

great, thank you! Is time enough for it to dry or is it ideal to put in at night and rinse out in the morning?

This is why I love oral minoxidil, just pop the pill and go. ts honestly a pain in the *** using topical or maybe I'm just lazy.
