how long after applying minoxidil. can u....?

[nate2004]

wear a hat or beanie or something like that... reason i ask is b/c i live in a fairly cold climate and usually wear a beanie whenever i leave the house to keep warm

so whats a good amount of time to wait to where itll absorb or dry properly or whatever before i can cover my head up

I would also like an answer to this question. I typically apply the Foam about 30 minutes before I put on a beanie and walk out the door. No idea whether that is ideal. Would it be better to take the foam with me and apply it at work?

10-15 mins I think

Technically you're supposed to wait 4 hours until it dries. I never bother more than an hour.

The foam dries in 5 or 10 minutes max.

yeah whenever it seems like its dried - five minutes? as long as its not getting rubbed off i cant see a problem.

is rogaine foam alot easier to apply then the liquid version? is it worth switching to from kirkland minoxidil?

Sometimes I put on my baseball cap 15-20 mins after a I apply it. Just wait until it dries. Or if your in a rush use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. Also try to put your hat in a positionn where it isnt directly touching the place u applied the minoxidil. Its not that hard to get around it.

Ideally you dont want to wear a hat for at least 4 hours tho.

Four hours is for getting your hair wet. So unless you plan on sweating profusely, I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure the minoxidil is somewhat dried.
