Regular Member windjc Posted March 5, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted March 5, 2010 I am using Rogaine foam in the frontal third right after I get out of the shower. Then I'm blow drying on a low setting to dry and style my hair. Is this a problem? I don't want to hinder the effectiveness of the foam, but I don't want to wait for my hair to air dry, wet it again and then style it with a blowdryer. I also dont want to dry it. Then add the foam and then wait for it to dry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Maxxy Posted March 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hey Windjc, Even though the foam absorbs quickly, I wouldn't recommend using the hair dryer so soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member youngsuccess Posted March 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2010 windjc, From Rogaine.com's FAQ section: Can I blow-dry my hair after applying ROGAINE?® Extra Strength Solution? Yes. It's fine to blow-dry your hair; however, we recommend using your dryer at a lower setting. I still tend to agree with Maxxy, though. Give it a few minutes just to make sure it's being absorbed into the scalp and not evaporated by the blow-drying. In the past, users were advised to let the original formula dry naturally. It's also still recommended to at least towel dry your hair before applying it. Best, Anthony (youngsuccess) ------- All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

Then blow dry. So thats about 5-7 minutes to dry in. Long enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member youngsuccess Posted March 5, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2010 windjc, Sounds good to me. Make sure you're not combing the Rogaine out of your hair, though. If it's all over the teeth of the comb, you know it's not staying on your scalp where it needs to be.
