showering and toppik

[jfrank]

Here is my situation... i take a shower every morning (rotate between Tgel and nizoral). Then when dries, i put on minoxidil..

However, if I go out that night, i put on toppik on areas that i am thinning... So when i get home, i shower again and put on T-Sal to get rid of the toppik for my next minoxidil application...

Now is this overkill? am i damaging my hair in any way? Any input would be appreciated..

i dunno

i shower every morning 2... im so paranoid that i even put toppik on UNDERNEATH my hat just in the offchance of disaster striking

after i get back i usually just rinse my head under the tap dry my hair and then apply minoxidil

i only apply minoxidil nightly though

toppik should not affect your male pattern baldness. however it can irritate your scalp which can expedite your hair loss.

that routine should be fine, except you just need a gentle cleansing shampoo to use to get the toppik out of your hair, not necessarily t/sal. Toppik comes out very easy.

toppik will not accelerate your male pattern baldness, unless you get irritation from it, allergic to it, etc.

but ya be careful to differentiate if its the toppik is irritating you or the fact that your putting it on an already irritated scalp form the minoxidil and the crap youre shampooing with--if i were you, id just use a gentle conditioner to wash the toppik out with--or plain cold water

good point. Infact, I have never heard of someone toppik irritating ones scalp, but I suppose its possible.
