I have been experiencing some thinning of my hair in the top. My dermatologist suggested that I use Rogaine. I relax my hair and wanted to know if it is safe to use the rogaine while continuing to have my hair relaxed.
Yes, relaxing your hair and using Rogaine (minoxidil) is fine.

what does “relaxing one’s hair” even mean? it sounds interesting.
Hi,
Rogaine is safe to use while relaxing your hair. Minoxidil is the active ingredient present in Rogaine, which helps to control the balding problem. Minoxidil was basically used for high blood pressure treatment but it also showed great results in treating hair loss problem and regrowing new hairs.
Minoxidil is a FDA approved medicine for hair loss treatment.
