Is there anyone out there who doesn't wash out their concealers every single day they put Regaine on?

The thought of washing it out every day, then waiting for the hair to dry before I put the minoxidil on, then waiting for that to dry before the dermmatch goes on, maybe with fibres, sounds like a nightmare. I haven't actually got the time.

I get the fibres is a no go, too messy, but... Would it really be that pointless to rub foam into a dermmatch covered head, even if it rubs it off? I can re apply when the foam is dry? Would it not work or cause problems. I wouldn't have the time to wash it out every single time before applying the foam?

Still involved washing out all concealers before use, so hair wash EVERY night? No way you can just slap over Derm on occasion? Nobody ever do that?

Dermmatch is more of a scalp paint. You should get 2 days outta the fibres, then wash out, use minoxidil liquid with a dropper in between!

Thanks, yeh, I will avoid fibres for a few days, but can't do no Derm. I get that it would be a real mess with fibres, trying to put minoxidil in, but if the scalp paint Derm is on my head, would a wash every other day be OK, or would the minoxidil react with it if I put on top for the inbetween day? I get it may remove the Derm, but that's still easier than washing hair every day.

minoxidil should always be applied to a clean scalp so if you want to maximise it's effectiveness, you will need to wash your hair daily.
I use derm daily and couldn't bare the thought of applying minoxidil over it.

So how many times do you wash your hair. Presume even If I do put it on top of Derm, it's better than not using it at all, or does something seep into the scalp that it shouldn't from the derm?
