The title says it all... how long time do it take for it to dry?

I am thinking of starting rogaine foam, then wait 10 min for it to dry before i apply this. I start work early, 7am, and need it all done and dryed before i head out in the morning.
I got a buzz cut, under 1 cm.. Do that make it harder/easier to apply it? It is a creame, i guess it will get in my hair and not my scalp most of the times i beginning...

i am also on a foam/spironolactone regime.
If i were you i would wait a little more than 10 minutes before applying spironolactone. I only apply spironolactone at night though, about one hour after or before applying the foam.
As for the drying time, id say it takes about 5-10 minutes to completely dry.

Completely dry as in impossible to see that you put something on your scalp?

I tok my minoxidil/spironolactone timings based on this from minoxidil.com:
"When 5% Spironolactone Lotion is used with Regrowth topical minoxidil or Xandrox, apply the minoxidil solution first. Allow several minutes for it to partially dry, and then apply the 5% Spironolactone Lotion directly on top of the minoxidil or Xandrox solution. The lotion will act as an occlusive dressing and enhance the absorption of both medications. "

I see now that its not the foam he is writing about, so maybe 1 min waiting is enough if the foam dry as fast as people claim? Waiting 1 hour apar will be tiredsome and hard in the long run, atleast for me
