Using Rogaine For Hair Loss Caused By A Hormonal Imbalance. Is It Okay To Have My Hair Colored And Bleached?

Posted on Thu, 26 Jul 2012

Question: I am using rogaine for hair loss caused by a hormone imbalance. Is it okay to have my hair colored and bleached? Will the rogaine react with the chemicals used to highlight my hair? I don't want to make the problem worse or cause more hair loss.

Hi,

Thanks for the query. I am happy to address your questions.

Rogaine can be used on both chemically (bleached) and colour treated hair.

If you are concerned about scalp irritation, I recommend you not to use Rogaine on the day you plan to get your hair colored or treated with permanent chemicals.

Hair colouring can easily make your hair 'over processed; and this can lead to hair loss. Hence one needs to be careful and ensure it is done with a professional.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards
