I am applying minoxidil as directed by my doctor...can I apply hair dye? Will it cause any problem when used while I am using minoxidil?

When using minoxidil, it's essential to exercise caution when applying hair dye: _Wait period_: Avoid applying hair dye for at least 24 hours after using minoxidil. _Patch test_: Perform a patch test with the hair dye to ensure you're not allergic to it. _Choose gentle dyes_: Opt for ammonia-free or semi-permanent hair dyes, which are less harsh. _Avoid overlapping_: Don't apply minoxidil and hair dye to the same area simultaneously.
