Applying hair oil a few hours after applying minoxidil foam ?

[rahulreddy139]

Hi,

 

I have started to bald and started applying minoxidil 5% to avoid hair loss.

 

My hair has good texture when I apply almon oil before taking a shower.

 

I apply minoxidil foam (indian one) before sleeping. A few hours later ( approx 4 hours later) I was waking up and applying almond oil and then sleeping . The I wake up in the morning and take a shower.

Have been following this for a week.

 

But I want to know if hair oil can be applied a few hours after applying minoxidil. Does it cause any hair loss. Want to be sure so they i am not worsening the problem

 

Thanks in advance

There is no problem with applying oil to your hair 4 hours after applying minoxidil. Once the minoxidil dries, you can apply anything you like.

what about hair gel?
