L'Oréal Inoa enquiry

[novicegeek]

Does anyone know of a correlation between Inoa colour and hair loss? I have been having my hair coloured approximately every 2 months for the past year using Inoa (in salon) and recently I have noticed my hair becoming a bit thinning and patchy around the temples and also it doesn't seem quite as dense on the front scalp area if I look closely. I am 51 but have never experienced hair thinning in my life and have always had thick hair. I would welcome any comments or feedback...

Why would you think it's to do with the colour.....I'd be VERY surprised if it were.
More likely it's hormonal.
This type of thinning can also be linked to the thyroid, so you could get your levels checked.

As Red Star suggests, it's unlikely to be caused by the repeated use of permanent hair colour.

In estrogenic alopecia, (the most common type of hair loss in menopausal women), hair loss is directly attributed to declining oestrogen levels. It's probably worth getting your bloods done at your local surgery to check your hormone levels. Unfortunately, generally thinning hair and loss of hair around the temples are classic symptoms.

Thank you for the advice and for the link... I will be getting my blood checked re. hormones.

Thank you for the advice, I will ask my doctor for a blood test...
