What Causes Severe Hair Loss After Using Minton?

Hi sir, I am 47. I have used Minton 5% and finsteride as combination. It worked like miracle. But as I have grey hair , I was forced to use dye. But started reaction with mintop, I could not identify the reason. I lost hair very fast. What is the reason for reaction with mintop. Can I continue now?!

Hi.

The hair dye that you are using contains chemicals and it can cause chemical reaction with Minoxidil causing increased hair loss..

So using chemical dyes without consulting your doctor/ Trichologist can hamper the treatment results..

So my suggestion is to avoid using hair dye and consult your doctor so that you can be advised certain herbal products and avoid any further reactions..

Henna can be used for coloring or dyeing grey hairs..

If you use anything on hairs avoid using Minoxidil on the same day to avoid reactions.
Consult your Trichologist and get checked..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
