Minoxidal is a pain in the arse

[omgstfuty]

Hey, so I ordered some minoxidal and it arrived yesterday, I applied some as soon as I got home, and I honeslty think my right temple has actually receaded more over night,its most likely just my imagination, but it does look differnt.
Another thing is, does any one no if I could apply it, then leave for about half an hour or so, then use a hair dryer to dry it off?I shave my head, so it just makes my head look greasy all day, and it looks rubbish to be honest.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

So does any one no at all?? is it ok to just wipe the minoxidal off, if it hasn't "sunken" into my scalp after 30 minutes or so??

You need to leave the minoxdil on for at least a couple hours for enough absorption for it to be effective. Leaving it on a half hour is more than likely not long enough. You may want to look into one of the fast drying minoxidil alternatives such as the products from Dr Lee....check out the website: minoxidil.com Dr Lee's standard 5% minoxidil solution dries in less than 30 minutes.

I also have a buzzed head and found problems with my head looking greasy after applying minoxidil, my way round it was too wash my hair, then towel dry, then to apply 1ml of minoxidil on my head and massage into my scalp for 30 seconds, with your head still being slightly wet it absorbs the minoxidil quicker into your skin and doesn’t give that greasy head look.

It’s been working well for so far and have been having good results, I just hope it continues :lol:
