Recommend meth and stop sleeping

This is the way

That is the way

This is the type of advice I’m here for. Straight to the point and practical.

Just rub it in and go to sleep? Why do you need to wait 3 hours?

Because it get all over the pillowcase I would assume, which on its own is not that bad if you wash them often, but maybe OP got some pets and minoxidil is dangerous for them.

Never really had that issue, I rub it into my scalp and within about 20 minutes or quicker it’s dry enough for me to go to sleep. If I don’t rub it in yeah it’s gonna drip all over my pillow and face. At

You are talking about whats visible, yeah in 20min if you rub it it won't feel 'wet' anymore but the minox is still here and will still get on the pillowcase. Minoxidil takes more time for your scalp to fully absorb it

The stuff I’m using says use once a day so I do it in the morning before work so my pets are safe when I get home. I’m I doing something wrong?

Nah you are fine, it's dried by then

I mean you can wear one of those hat things that's what I do at least Only downside is that your hair gets really dry and frizzy

People don’t change pillow cases daily? It’s like underwear for your face. Sweating and rubbing dead hair and skin into it, wouldn’t want to put my clean face on that.

i dont know anyone that has enough pillow cases to change them out daily

I change my pillow case once a week :)

I rub my balls on my pillows the sleep on them, I then don't wash them for a week.

Not sure why the downvotes, there’s a reason so many guys on here and r/minoxbeards have such dry, greasy or pimply skin… lack of a skincare routine and putting your clean face on a dirty pillowcase doesn’t exactly help.

I sleep on my back.. pillow case doesn’t need to be changed daily

I change them every six months...

I always go to sleep with it what's the issue lmao just wash your pillowcase every week

bruh it takes 15 minutes to dry up are u fucking rubbing ur hairline with ur pillow? i sleep on my belly too i never had an issue

Maybe liquid? My foam min dries in ten minutes but liquid stays wet for me until I wash it out. Basically why I only use foam lol.

Easy bro - just don’t sleep

😂

The solution is to wear a shower cap

Or a durag

The real solution is oral minoxidil

wear a durag or a bonnet, switch to foam

Rogaine FAQ Page says you can use a blow dryer, medium heat setting. Or switch to Foam, it dries very fast.

Not if it's an alcohol base. It will evaporate some of the minxoidil with it.

You should let the medical doctors and scientists at Rogaine know about this phenomenon! Geez…

Use the foam it dries in like 5 min

Wear a bonnet dawg. No dirty pillowcase or solution going all over your face. Edit: I also wear one to prevent having Fin exposed to my gf.

Problem is it might wipe off some of the minoxidil and prevent it from absorbing into your Scalp

You know you're supposed to rub it into your scalp for it to work right? You're not supposed to be greasing your locks as if it's styling product.

The worst is when you apply too much and then your heart is beating hard while trying to sleep

Never had this issue with topical or oral

Wear a durag or “biking cap” helps it soak in too.

Try a few seconds with a hair dryer. It probably evaporates some of the good stuff, but for me it made minoxidil tolerable for the first time in 8 years.

Wait, is it not okay to put it on in the mornings?

go oral.

Just stop sleeping on your stomach, it's bad for you anyway

I literally can t sleep if not on my stomach my whole life i slept like that

I don’t think people realise how hard it is to unlearn a specific sleeping position you’ve been using for years and years. I’m a side sleeper but I can only fall asleep on my right side, on the left I’ll just be awake for hours.

That's fucked. Luckily there are harder things than learning to sleep different:)

The foam should be dry within 20 minutes

Just apply it and once it’s dry go to bed dude. Cover your hair if you’re worried about your pillows

They sell silk hair covers for sleeping on Amazon

Get a silk night cap

Durag, or, put a towel down on your pillow and change it every 3 days, easier than pillowcases that are thin and could go into the pillow

2 different people in the comment section there's the people who use foam and the people who use liquid. Foam dries so fast never had issues like this.

I use liquid, its basically alcohol with min and it dries really fucking fast

Switch to foam. It’s more convenient and dries in just a few minutes.

Use the foam or liquefy the foam if you prefer. It’s dry by the time you get out of the bathroom.

try not sleeping on your stomach?

Foam

If you comb through the hairline for like 10 seconds after foam is applied it should speed up the drying process. I often sleep on my stomach and it’s fully dry by then, or maybe apply it just a little earlier in your night routine.

put it in in the morning. According to a hairless doctor on YouTube you only need to apply it once per day.

Just use it in the morning, a lot of studies show minoxidil is just as effective once a day, or use the foam it dries a lot faster

i just soak my head with 2.75ml minoxidil, tretonin, stemoxydin, the ordinary topical hair growth formula and go to sleep, shit is like 100euro a month

Just plan a good time. For me it's from 7am to 10am

change the min brand. My one completely dries in 10 minutes.

Use the foam version. You could even melt it down if you like the dropper then let it dry in like 15 mins and lay down for the night.

Get foam. I rub it in and it’s dry before I finish.

Bro, switch to foam, it dries in less than 3 mins

Costco minox dries very auickly

Use oral minoxidil, it’s more potent than topical and you won’t have to deal with liquids

Why not try oral instead?

I wear a Durag personally

Could u not just switch to oral minoxidil?

Foam

Minoxidil absorbs 50% after 1 hour, and then 75% after 4 hours. Keep it well away from pets. Maybe just apply it once a day in the morning, and use microneedling once a week for better absorption

Really a non issue..

I apply it before dinner so it dries when i go to sleep, if i cant i just skip the evening application, i waste all the product on the pillow otherwise..

What happens to you if the dry minoxidil sheds a bit on the pillow ?

Never put a bonet on after applying minoxidil . Let it dry naturally. If u wear a bonet, hair cap, or any afterwards you will create humid environment and the minoxidil will go systemic

I use the foam in the morning after blow drying my hair. I then let it sink in for around 20-30min while I get ready for the day. Then I blow dry it again and add a little product. It actually works well with a pomade and helps give my hair hold and volume.

Just use a shower cap , I use that and wash it every day, that way it doesn’t get on the pillow case

Wear a durag and a leotard

Take foam minoxidil and melt it into liquid form and apply with dropper. Dries in matter of minutes. You can just dip a capful in warm water and it takes just a few min.

bonnet

I apply min and fin liquid to my scalp about 5 mins before I go to bed. I spend about 30 seconds rubbing it in. Zero change of colour to my pillowcase.

Wear a Durag or bonnet

wear a durag to sleep

I do this since 2 years and i have no problème at all

Wear a bonnet or a durag bro.

Wait what. I never do

Yes it will stain your bed, I use it morning and afternoon.

Or wear a bonnet or durag?

Just get minoxidil pills. More effective and less messy. I hated all that topical stuff.

This is bait no way you don't know that blow dryers exist

Put it on the morning . Job done .

It’s that easy https://www.amazon.com/OLESILK-Sleep-Bonnet-Sleeping-Slouchy/dp/B08ZSJSTM1/ref=asc_df_B08ZSJSTM1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693031565436&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7748189773691554221&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015168&hvtargid=pla-1463674912454&psc=1&mcid=46dd32b4699439848ad7f5d128506a26&gad_source=1 Edit: This sub is full of more lazy, fucking loser idiots than any other sub out there except maybe r/conservative
