Blow Drying the minoxidil

[Hondo]

Can anybody tell me if it's ok to blowdry the minoxidil about 10 minutes after applying with COLD air? I've only ever found info online saying NOT to. But I'm assuming they're talking about HOT air drying. I find that by blowing it dry with the cold air and then styling with Nioxin gel and Nioxin hair spray that the whole "greasy" head look is completely eliminated.

i've used rogain than blow dryed a few times with hot air. i felt as though i lost hair because of this. heating up rogain on your head didnt seem quite right so i stopped this completly ( better to be safe than sorry). if i blowdry i do it first than use rogain after. i actually like the rogain, it thickens the look of the hair.

the rule sees to be that minoxidil takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours to get into your skin, not sure if foam is the same but, after that you can wash it out, by blowdrying you may be drying it up, in fact id say u will deffo be doing that.

The drying process is where the minoxidil actually absorbs into the scalp. Blow drying your hair prematurely will do nothing but leave dried minoxidil particles on the top or your scalp. The minoxidil needs to get to the follicle which is rooted deeply in the dermis layer
