Dear Anitha,
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the hair loss.
Mintop 5% is a stronger preparation suitable for men.
For women only 2% solutions are recommended for use.
Make sure your hair and scalp are dry before you apply minoxidil.
DO NOT USE any oil or shampoo on your hairs for 4 hours after applying Mintop solution.
So, you may use the oil only after 6 hrs of applying Mintop solution.
Hope to have answered your query.
Regards
