Problems with minoxidil effectiveness.

[thaxceptional1]

Here's my regimen:
Wash hair
Towel dry hair
Apply minoxidil
Blow dry
Apply hair cream
Comb through

I have been doing this for the past 4 months. Previously I was only using minoxidil for 6 months without styling my hair and it seemed to be working fairly effectively.

My question is: Is there anything wrong with my regimen or does minoxidil lose effectiveness if taken everyday?

(I also take 1.25mg of finasteride daily)

You need to let minoxidl dry on its own, it's suppose to take 4 hours to be fully absorbed into the scalp.

On their website they say you may blow dry your hair on low setting. That's what I have been doing.

You can't blow dry your hair after you applied minoxidil.
This your main mistake.
If you have to style your hairs and apply minoxidil at the same time then use fast dry solutions or foam in the morning and usual liquid before bed.
