How to Use Minoxidil 5% Hair Oil (and How To Apply It Correctly)
Follow this step-by-step guide to apply Kirkland Minoxidil 5% correctly and safely for the best hair regrowth results.
Step 1
Prepare Your Scalp
Ensure your scalp and hair are completely dry before applying. Do not apply to wet or damp hair — moisture reduces absorption significantly.
Step 2
Part Your Hair
Use a comb to part your hair at the area of thinning or hair loss. Expose as much of the affected scalp as possible for direct application.
Step 3
Measure 1 ml
Fill the dropper applicator to the 1 ml line. This is approximately 20 drops — the correct single dose. Never use more than 1 ml per application.
Step 4
Apply to Scalp
Hold the dropper close to your scalp and apply the solution directly. Work from the center of the thinning area outward. Do not drip onto forehead or face.
Step 5
Spread Gently
Use your fingertips to gently spread the solution across the affected area. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after.
Step 6
Allow to Dry
Let the solution air-dry for at least 2–4 hours. Do not wash your hair, wear a hat, or go to bed until fully dry.
💡 Pro Tips for Best Results
- Apply at the same times each day (e.g. 8 AM and 8 PM) to build a consistent routine
- Set a phone alarm so you never miss an application
- Results require consistent use — skipping applications slows progress
- Take a monthly photo under the same lighting to track your progress
- Do not discontinue use after seeing results — hair loss will resume within 3–4 months
