This thread is for people who apply multiple topicals. I'm interested in when the best time and order is to apply them, as far as when you wake up, when you work out, and how many showers you have, and the order to apply everything.
Also, I wonder if you absorb stuff best when your scalp is hydrated. I would think that if it is dry, it would suck up wet stuff better than when it is saturated with water. Any facts or thoughts?
OK, I'll start.
1) I've been shopping for and designing shampoo's with copper peptides in them, but now I think if the shower is such a good time to get my whole head, why not wash my hair with normal shampoo, and then put 4mL of folligen on my head and rub it over the whole head and leave that on for the rest of the shower. Would that not be better?
2) I wonder whether to apply SODs first or minoxidil first, but have been doing the SODs first lately.
3) If I have trouble scheduling showers around topicals, I do have the option of washing my body and not my hair, and washing my hair later.
4) My main problem now is waiting 3 hours after a shower or work out before applying Eucapil. If I switch to spironolactone, I will have to schedule much after minoxidil, and twice a day. This is making RU more appealing. This tells me I should have a shower at least 4 hours before I go to sleep, if I want to apply spironolactone then.
Aside from wondering how much it matters when I apply stuff, my schedule is easy. I shower in the morning, apply prox-N and folligen, then 10 minutes later apply minoxdil. 4 hours later I apply Eucapil. 4 hours later I do my work out, do a body shower, and then later I apply minoxidil, or can quickly wash my hair before the minoxidil as long as it has been 4 hours after the Eucapil. Three 1 minute applications per day, and a little scheduling. The rest of my regimen is rotating shampoos and taking dutasteride. Later the GLA and RU will just replace the eucapil.
My only concern is not to use fatty acids before using SODs, since solubility issues might keep the SODs and water from getting into the scalp if there is a thin oily layer on the scalp already.
