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

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?
