I dry my hair, then before 'styling', I use one of Dr.Lee's 'dabber' bottles across the hairline. I highly recommend them bottles for that.
That's the only minoxidil I put on after the shower. I wait a bit to do my first daily dose of Lee's, usually a few hours after the shower, my schedule permits that. Lee's dries so fast, that all I do after applying is kinda 'fluff' the hair a bit, and the minoxidil is undetectable in no time.
I love that Lee!
