using hair products along with topical minoxidil and finasteride

[demezz2]

currently, i use minoxidil foam in the morning all over my hair (back too)

and then in the evening apply topical fin to my hairline and minoxidil foam over the rest.

with this routine, ive been washing my hair every other day as my hair gets pretty greasy by that time.

i want to start experiencing with hair products like mousse on my hair and was wondering if it was ok to incorporate with my current routine? im scared of clogging up the hair follicles and min/fin not being as effective and experiencing a shed or something.

would washing my hair in the morning, applying min foam, waiting like an 1hr then applying mousse be ok? and then not reapplying it until the next wash day?

Clogged pores is a myth. As long as you wash your hair regularly. It’s not an issue.

I use mousse everyday too. I wash my hair every alternate day. Its okay to use products on your hair. Its not going to be an issue.

Dr Arshad at The Hair Dr clinic sells a fin/min spray which can also be used to style your hair. Might be worth looking into.

I have curly hair so I use Loreal mousse for curls. You can style you hair as per your requirement.

It’s just a thought, but you may want to apply the topical Finasteride over the top of your scalp, as well as the hairline to protect the folics from DHT. I don’t know how old you are or how solid your hair is? All the best!

oh i actually just started oral finasteride as i was considering this! i haven’t stopped using the topical fin tho because it also includes 15% minoxidil and i dont want to experience a shed and i already have 8 months worth of it but i appreciate the response!
