I want to mix Minoxidil 5% with caster oil and coconut oil for hair growth. Is this safe and will it work?

Asked By:legitpauls in Atlanta, GA

Minoxidil is proven to show hair growth. Caster oil and coconut oil are shown to have positive effects on hair quality and growth. Theory: mixing all three should optimize hair growth. Also if it is safe, how would I even make this? Add water to minoxidil powder and heat in order to make it into liquid then add the oils in?

Answer: Castor oil or coconut oil would not "hurt" but it is not used to treat hair loss. If you are concerned ask your doctor.
