Can I put Rogaine on top of scalp that already has hair building fibers on it, such as Toppik?

December 1, 2015
Asked By:farahto in Toronto, ON

I am a 21 year old female suffering from female pattern baldness. I just started using Rogaine and I am wondering if I already have hair building fibers on my scalp, such as Toppik or Sure Thik, can I just put the Rogaine on top of the fibers? Will the Rogaine be less effective? Will the Rogaine always have to be used on a clean scalp? I just feel like it will be too time consuming to wash my fair everyday then use the Rogaine.

Answer: You should apply Rogaine to your scalp (not on top of Toppik). The medication has to reach your scalp.
