Minoxidil Absorption Rate (time To Wait Before Washing Hair)

[tdma]

What would be the amount of time to have almost all of a topical minoxidil solution based on propylenglycol absorbed by the skin (dry scalp)?

I'm currently waiting 1-2 hours after application for washing my hair and wonder if this is enough. I don't like leaving the house with the minoxidil applied as it makes everything feel nasty.

I think it's about 4 hours, you don't really need to apply twice a day, once at night and compensate by using more i think you will be fine(just from what i have read)

I wash it out every 8 hours tbh. I read somewhere that are 4 or 6 hrs 75% has been absorbed

50% absorbed after 2 hours. More than 75% after 4 hours. Fully absorsed after 11 hours but there isn't any data between 4 and 11.
