It is for once daily use.
The minimum contact period is 4 hours but it is better if it is applied and left overnight.
Let me know if you have any other doubts .

Mine is .05% solution to be used 2x per day. So 4 hrs is optimal absoption. Bedtime will be no problem. am tying to figure out morning sequence--my application site is frontal hair line and an inch back onto the scalp. Perhaps it will dry enough after an hour to do something with my hair

Hello,
Actually even once application is more than enough.
Best is you apply in night and let it remain there overnight.
In early morning you can apply it once again and let it be there for one or two hours and then wash.
Hope that works for you.
Thank you
