Can I use minoxidil after I use coconut oil and Argan oil to treat hair loss?

Question

I'm having a hair loss and its really concerning me, I'm a 23 years old transwoman. I searched about mixing up coconut and argan oil to be used like 2 to 3 times a week. Since i saw that minoxidil can be used at morning and night, i assumed its daily.. so, can i use minoxidil after I'm done treating my hair from coconut and argan oil? After it dries up?

oil can be used with minoxidil. start our hair essentials -- restorsea, vivatia, stamping and anteage ampules (see link).

You need a formal evaluation to see what type of hair loss you may have. when you have hairless its best to do a full hormonal workup for internal optimization plus scalp biopsies or scrapings to rule out any stress related, inflammatory, autoimmune or infectious causes of hair loss. In general most people with early hair loss have telogen (stress related) and/or androgenetic (normal aging) and both can be treated with in office treatments like steroid injections, PRP/acell, Exosomes and at home treatments like oral medications, oral vitamins like Viviscal, topical exfoliating sprays like Restorsea, and weekly growth factors like anteagemd.  See an expert for an evaluation. If hair loss is significant it may requires hair transplant (follicular unit translation).

Hello, it is okay to use oils with minoxidil. I recommend seeing a doctor and evaluate what type of hair loss you are experiencing. Most of the time, people go through stress and this might cause losing hair. Also, some hormonal problems and ageing result in moderate hair loss. Most of these issues can be fixed with oral medications.If hair loss continues, you can then consider getting a hair transplant.
