I recommend applying minoxidil only to the balding scalp areas.You may want to consult with a hair restoration specialist who will measure hair miniaturization and point out the best places to apply the minoxidil especially if you are not sure.

Attempt to keep minoxidil out of heat and away from light.The higher percentage of the minoxidil preparation the more likely it could crystallize.
