drying hair with electric fan

[theApostle]

hello. i have one question. i've been using the electric fan to dry my hair before applying minoxidil. just today i noticed that the blades of the electric fan are coated in dust. i wonder if this will affect the minoxidil that i applied. if the dust were blown to my hair and then gotten mixed with the minoxidil. i would appreciate your opinions on this.

do not use a fan, you will blow alot the minoxidil off your head. If drying time is an issue use Dr Lee's or the foam.

He said he used it _before_ applying minoxidil.

I really doubt the dust would affect the minoxidil application and I also doubt that the fan is covering your head with dust. If it does, time to get a new fan!

Also, there's absolutely NO problem with applying minoxidil to a slightly damp scalp. It heightens absorption 2 to 3 times. If you're looking to avoid side effects with overabsorption, it might be a concern, though.
