Minoxidil Morning Applications

[brodieman04]

Everyone complains about applying minoxidil in the morning (not the foam -- liquid), and I'm wondering if this is a solution. I usually apply minoxidil about 10 minutes after I shower, then eat breakfast and read the paper. After approximately 20 minutes I'll blowdry my hair and it's perfectly fine; infact, the minoxidil generally has a thickening effect. Anyone think the blowdrying lessens the absorption of the minoxidil, or is this a viable solution to the aesthetic problems of morning application?

According to everything I've read, blowdrying the minoxidil is an extremely bad idea. You'll just end up evaporating a whole bunch of it I think.

needs to be moist to penetrate. blowdrying it will mean it has less time to sink in.

a quick blast to dry your hair might be ok but i wouldnt use the dryer for long.
