Doctors’ responses

Hair loss can be frustrating, but the first step is understanding why it’s happening. Causes can include things like stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or even genetic factors. With an oily scalp and frizzy, thin, straight hair, it’s important to balance your approach. For hair growth serums, look for products containing ingredients such as minoxidil, which is FDA-approved and has evidence supporting its effectiveness for certain types of hair loss. It’s typically applied topically to the scalp. Another ingredient to consider is niacinamide, which can help improve scalp circulation and support hair growth. In terms of supplements, you might consider biotin or zinc, as deficiencies in these can contribute to hair loss. However, I would recommend getting a blood test done first to check for deficiencies, including vitamin D and iron, as supplements are most effective when addressing specific deficiencies rather than being taken indiscriminately. With an oily scalp, you might want to wash your hair more frequently with a gentle shampoo to control oil without over-stripping your hair. Look for shampoos with salicylic acid or tea tree oil, which can help with oil control. To manage the frizzy hair, consider using a conditioning mask or an argan oil, which not only help smooth it but also provide nourishment. However, if the hair loss is excessive or accompanied by other symptoms like itchiness or scaling of the scalp, it’s a good idea to consult with a dermatologist to rule out conditions like dermatophytic infections or seborrheic dermatitis. They can offer you a personalized regime based on a more detailed assessment. Prioritize safety, ensuring you’re addressing the root causes and not just masking symptoms.
