Question on Rogaine 5%

[ind_sam19689]

I have been using Rogaine 5% on dry scalp as it says on the instructional booklet but I hear someone say that its good on Hydrated and slight wet scalp especially for people with long hairs.
Is it true or not?
Also It says that you should only spray Rogaine 6 times but to cover my affected I needed to apply it 7-8 times is it okay

Many people have commented that applying the foam to a wet scalp helps in the absorption process. However, I do not think there is any evidence to suggest that a wet scalp is better.

If what you're doing now is working then don't stop, but if you want to try it out then go for it. Just wet your hands and run them through you hair...wait 1-2mins and then do a quick towel dry and apply the foam.

Or if you shower then you can apply it after showering. I usually apply rogaine after a shower in the morning. At night I usually wet my scalp and then towel dry it.

I have question abaut rogaine 5%. I put at morning rogain on my dry hair. And then i go swiming. Can i wet my hair? I will not wash rogaine down from my head? Is this bad?

you should really wait to go swimming if you have already applied minoxidil

i would suggest to wait around 3 hours to go swimming to get the full effect of minoxidil
otherwise your wasting your time and money applying it

applying minoxidil to a hydrated scalp is suppose to ad with absorption of the product
doing so is not required but alot think it's more effective than applying to a dry scalp
