Shaved head infact makes the application easy and with direct application on long hairs can make your hair stiff and the crusting on the scalp under the hair may not be easy for you to remove.
Same way hair loss can be due to many reasons some skin conditions with hair loss may have more skin irritation if Minoxidil is applied and therefore it is best suited for hair loss such as Androgenetic alopecia ( male pattern baldness or common baldness) . Because this common baldness has some link to father or mother side genetically it is written on the information leaflet given with minoxidil that those with no family history of hair loss may not use it.
