Is a "dry look" style possible after Rogaine?

[Mer]

Need some opinions/suggestions please.

How do you Rogaine users get a dry look hairstyle after applying it? I've been messing around with different formulations to improve drying time and have it down to about 15 minutes but my hair is still greasy looking from the minoxidil.

What am I doing wrong or is this just the nature of Rogaine?

Thanks for the help.

Use Dr. Lee's #500 minoxidil 5%. Dries fast - about the same amt of time it would take your hair to dry on its own after a shower - and leaves your hair looking great.

Thanks,

I've heard about Lee's version.

I'd rather stick with locally available products for now just for cost and convenience.

Urm try not to get it in your hair. Although probably not that easy.

Definitely not that easy.

Even worse, Rogaine grows more hair so it's not going to get any better. :lol:

After you pull the dropper full of Rogaine out of the jar, before you apply to your head, take a tissue and wipe the sides of the dropper dry. Then, apply to the head.

Good idea Gardener, thanks.

I'll try that tonight.

Thank Cassin for that tip... he clued me in on that little procedure a long time ago, and it helps a lot.

Just tried it and it made a big difference.

Thanks all for the tips.
