You're not using minoxidil correctly (probably)

[Deleted member 127538]

Due to the alcohol content present in minoxidil it will cause your eyebrows to scale (basically dandruff.) and your eyebrows will literally fall off. Now, this IS normal, your eyebrows ARE supposed to fall off when using minoxidil but not because of the dryness on your eyebrows. (WHEN I SAY EYEBROWS FALL OFF I'm REFERRING TO INDIVIDUAL LASHES NOT YOUR WHOLE EYEBROW FALLING OFF JFL)

To maximize minoxidil gains follow this:
Lets say you use minoxidil at 6am before school, you get home at around 2-3, then you do it at 10 pm before sleep

Minoxidil: 6 am
Moisturize your eyebrows (rub whatever moisturizer you use into your eyebrows): 3 pm
Minoxidil: 10pm

**KEEP IN MIND**: You never want to moisturize 4 hours before or after the use of minoxidil or you won't maximize your gains.

Tip: Avoid blow drying your eyebrows when blow drying your hair.

taking it orally negates this

You can drink topical. Take 0.1-0.25ml daily if you are using 5%. If not scale dose accordingly.

Why? wtf. I'm always using minoxidil after a moisturizer, but i don't put moisturizer straight on eyebrows, I just moisturise my skin including skin near eyebrows. then after some minutes I put minox on eyebrows. is it bad variant? why?

and same in the morning, but one more thing is spf added before minoxidil
