?? on using Rogaine for Women - Hair Problems Message Board

I recently started using Rogaine for women. My question is: can I use it the morning that I go to get my hair hilited or should I just skip the dose that particular morning? I always go to the salon with dry hair and I never wash it before I get hilites, so I was concerned about having it on my scalp and then getting a process done to my hair that it might cause irritation. Please let me know if you are using Rogain for women and how do you use it along with going to the salon. Thanks

Hi August!
I've used Rogaine 5% for years and it has worked wonders as I was having a lot of problems with thinning hair. I have my hair highlighted every three months and I just skip the treatment on that day. I've actually skipped several days in a row (forgot to bring it with me on vacation) and with no problems. I think where you get into hair shedding again is if you stop it for a long period of time. A day or two, or even a week, isn't going to hurt. I've done it several times. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the reply! I'll probably do just that and skip it that morning and night, then cont. again the next moring. Thanks again for the help.
