Can I avoid rubbing it?

[Guest]

Can I just apply Rogaine in my male pattern baldness areas, without rubbing/massaging it with my fingers?

The prob. is that I have 1 inch long hair, and it's a little difficult to rub it.

But I make sure the products gets in the male pattern baldness areas, I use the dropper.

So, is it enough to just drop the product over the scalp, without rubbing it?

I'm an all over diffuse thinner so it's tough for me too.

What I do is use the dropper as a "pen" and make 1" zig zags from left to right on my scalp. I start at the front and keep going until I reach the back. This keeps most of the minoxidil off the hair and on the scalp. The trick is to turn the droopper upside down and wipe it off before you start. I don't rub it in afterwards. In about 15 minutes I apply some hair gel and style.

Hello Mer

Yes, I do that exactly! I use the dropper to gently massage the product in scalp.

I want to know if that is enough. According to Rogaine, it doesn't need to be rubbed to improve absorption.

Just wanted to hear what other guys do.

Cheers. :hairy:

Yeah, As long as its staying on your scalp, you dont need to rub it. Remember Dr. Lee saying this in one of his emails
