Brief Answer:
Method of application of topical minoxidil
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Minoxidil solution should be applied twice daily i.e morning and evening, at scalp skin with the help of a dropper.
It should be applied only in recommended quantity i.e 1 ml, twice daily.
Start applying from the center of scalp and move outwards covering all of the affected area.
It should be applied after shampoo on absolutely clean scalp.
Hair should be air dried after shampoo i.e minoxidil should not be applied on wet scalp.
The solution dries quickly and the medicine is allowed to act on scalp. It should not be washed over.
Nothing else should be applied on scalp like hair oil etc
Regards
