minoxidil Mixing Question What Do U Guys Think

[zortbork]

What do u guys think if i were to combine in a bottle minoxidil, castor oil, rosemary oil and lavender oil? do u think it would make anything worse or ineffective?

Essential oils are generally diluted in other non alcoholic carrier like almond oil for instance. This allows you to use them with a warm cloth that increases absorption.
With alcohol isn't it possible that your hair's color gets dyed?

Not sure, does minoxidil have alcohol?

Also if you dont mind me asking what brand of finasteride do you use?

Minoxidil does not have alcohol but most lotions that have minoxidil also have alcohol and propylenic glycol. They are used to let your scalp absorb the minoxidil.

I use pharmacy prepared capsules as finasteride. Prescribed by my derm.

Yes. The only thing that would make Minoxidil more effective is topical Finasteride.

That is slightly more effective than oral, but they're about equal (76% versus 70% dht reduction).
