Will Bleaching My Hair Effect the Use of Propecia?
I am a 22 year old male with class 4 norwood balding. I have been on propecia for seven months now and havnt really seen any effect. However, I am going to stick it out for a year and see how it developes. My question to you is, should I decide to bleach my hair blonde, will this effect the potential of propecia working for me? I have seen loads of guys thinning on top bleaching their hair and I think it looks good.
Kind regards.
Blonde hair does reduce the contrast between scalp and hair colors and as such, does allow you to appear fuller with less hair. Of course, if you are bald in the front, dying it or bleaching it won’t help. If you have a full Norwood Class 4 pattern of balding, hair transplantation works wonders in the front, although being only 22 years old, you may not be a candidate yet.
Stay on Propecia or you will lose all that it has held on your head since you started taking it. That would be a big mistake. Be sure that the bleaching is done by a professional, because the experience with chemical burns from people not knowing what they are doing can wipe out your hair. Bleach penetrates the hair and can damage the hair shaft while Propecia effects the root of the hair where it is formed. When bleach is used and it penetrates the base of the hair follicle to such a degree that it will damage it, then not even Propecia can save the hair.
