Dear fellow thinning friends,

My hairloss is diffuse and I've been taking (general) Finasteride for 3 months now. I can't really say that it's been working yet. So I've decided to start Minoxidil, my dermatologist suggested applying it only once (liquid version) at night. However, I always wash my hair in the morning and blow dry it. I was wondering, If I apply it at night around 20.00 and wash it out the next morning around 8-9, has it had enough time to "settle down" on my scalp? I know that twice a day is recommended, but let's face it... It sucks to apply it in the morning when you're extremely busy etc..
I heard minoxidil can be active for 22 hours or so, but does this mean it's active for 22 hours when you don't wash it?

Hope to hear from y'all!

I would start with once a day. Twice seems like a big commitment.
