People often ask us if they can use a topically-applied minoxidil-based product along with OstriGrow. Minoxidil is absorbed through the scalp. It works by widening the capillaries that feed blood to the follicles for hair growth. The result is that hair can be formed faster at the root of the follicle. It can’t widen a narrowed follicle that constrains the hair from breaking through and emerging from the follicle the way that OstriGrow does.
It is certainly possible for OstriGrow and minoxidil to work together since they have different effects. However, it is important that applications of the two products are separated in time. The minoxidil product is applied twice a day and left on the scalp for a period of time, after which it must be rinsed off.
You would need to wash it before applying OstriGrow, because if the minoxidil was still on the scalp, OstriGrow will not be able to get through to the follicles. A better alternative would be to apply the OstriGrow before the minoxidil. It would not need to be washed out, since excess liquid on the scalp will simply evaporate.
We believe that OstriGrow alone will provide the growth that you are looking for and encourage users to try it on its own, without minoxidil.
