Hi doctor I have to wash my hair after using minoxidil ? Or I can keep minoxidil all day and all week
Answer: Minoxidil Usage We suggest to use minoxidil especially after the shower. Until next shower you do not need to remove it. Make sure that it does not come into contact with your eyes and respiratory tract.

Answer: Minoxdil and hair washing Hi there,Generally it is recommended to not wash your hair at least 4 hours after application and I recommend using it at night. If you apply it twice a day then can leave on during the day and after shower apply pm dose. I do not recommend never washing your hair again after applying minoxidil.

Answer: Can I keep minoxidil on all day/week? Yes. Minoxidil formulations should be applied on a dry scalp and left in place for at least four hours.It is also advisable to apply it two hours before bed to allow adequate time for drying and avoid it spreading on the face during sleep.Please note that some patients notice a transitory increase in hair shedding at the beginning of treatment. However, this is just a sign of minoxidil efficacy. It indicates that telogen follicles are re-entering the anagen phase. It usually lasts for a few weeks.

Answer: Topical minoxidil Thank you for your question. Topical minoxidil is meant to be left on the scalp and applied twice daily. I recommend my patients to apply the medication after showering and washing the hair. I highly recommend consulting with a board certified dermatologist or hair restoration specialist in your area for any other questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.
