Dr. Rassman,
I have used “Just for Men” hair coloring in the past and am starting on a treatment of finasteride. Could you recommend a hair coloring product, “Just for Men” or any other, that will not damage my hair or that has ingredients less likely to cause damage
Hair coloring will not affect genetic balding or damage your hair as long as you use the product as directed and it is a commercial grade product purchased from a reliable source. Taking finasteride and coloring your hair are unrelated. I don’t know much about coloring agents to advise you further.

I work for “Just for Men” and I can re-assure you that the doctor is correct. As long as you buy a good brand name and use it as directed you’ll be fine. If you were happy with Just For Men, I’d say stay with it. It has no harsh ammonia and works in 5 minutes, so it’s gentle. It leaves your hair thicker and healthier-looking.
