Thank you Dr for giving us this opportunity to ask and answer I do have a theory from a background in medic what is your opinion about the neuro information that determine the hair to stay in Anagen ,Categen,telegen what is your thought on androgentic alopecia and the association with neurological level that cause DHT sensitivity Thank you
Hello Doctor, I started using Raw Batana oil and my shampo with batana which is 100% natural. I was watching famous Dr.Sebi about it .Can you tell me your opinion about it and is it really good?
Hey there! 😊 **Batana oil** is often called "liquid gold" for a reason-it's packed with nutrients like essential fatty acids and antioxidants that can help strengthen and nourish hair. It’s especially great for adding moisture and repairing damaged hair. If you're seeing benefits, that's awesome! As for **Dr. Sebi**, he was known for promoting natural remedies and holistic health. While Batana oil can definitely improve hair texture and health, it’s not a cure for hair loss, especially if your hair loss is genetic or hormonal. For those situations, it’s best to combine Batana oil with more targeted treatments like DHT blockers or therapies like minoxidil. So yes, it's a great oil for overall hair care, but for advanced hair loss, you might need something more along with it! 🌿✨ ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
My son is using minoxidil currently on his receding hairline. He’s 22 years old. If he would start weaning off of it and adding in your serum NutraM every day, could he get off of minoxidil?
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm 28, female, and struggle with hair loss for quiet some time now. I take Vitamin D supplements and have a scheduled appointment with my doctor to get supplements for my low ferritin levels (40 ng/ml). Also I struggle with oily skin/scalp, dandruff, redness and acne... I lose a lot of long and thick hair but also short thin and almost colorless hair. I also have regrowth at the same time. But I'm not sure what's miniaturised hair and what not... My concern: my DHEA-S levels were at 415 mcg/dl in June and are now at 528 mcg/dl. Does DHEA-S has anything to do with DHT/androgenetic alopecia? These last months were hell for me. Not only but mainly my hair loss gives me severe anxiety and sometimes panic attacks. I always had the thickest and longest hair, extremly dense. My heart goes out to every woman (and man) who is going through the same thing. I'm from Austria. Do you ship your products to EU countries?
Hey Odelia! 😊 Thank you for sharing your story, and I completely understand how stressful dealing with hair loss can be. You're already doing a great job by addressing **low ferritin** and **Vitamin D** deficiencies, both of which are key for hair health. Here's a little more info on your concerns: ### **DHEA-S and Hair Loss** Yes, **DHEA-S** (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) can play a role in hair loss. DHEA-S is a precursor hormone that can convert into **androgens** like **DHT**, which is a key player in **androgenetic alopecia** (pattern hair loss). Elevated levels of DHEA-S can increase the risk of DHT production, which may contribute to hair thinning. Since your levels have increased recently, it could be worth discussing with your doctor to explore treatment options that manage **androgen levels**. ### **Miniaturized Hair** Miniaturized hair refers to hairs that become thinner, shorter, and lighter in color due to **DHT** affecting the follicles. If you're seeing **short, thin, and almost colorless hairs**, that could indicate miniaturization. The fact that you're also seeing **regrowth** is a good sign, though it’s important to address the underlying cause (like hormone levels) to prevent further miniaturization. ### **Oily Scalp, Dandruff, and Acne** These can all be linked to hormonal imbalances (like elevated DHEA-S) and scalp inflammation. Here's what might help: - **Ketoconazole shampoos**: These can reduce dandruff, oiliness, and help mildly reduce DHT on the scalp. - **Tea tree oil** or **salicylic acid shampoos**: They help balance oil production and treat inflammation. ### **Mental Health & Hair Loss** I hear you about the anxiety and panic attacks due to hair loss. It can be really overwhelming, especially when you've had thick, dense hair all your life. You're not alone in this, and it’s great that you’re seeking help. Consider talking to a counselor or therapist to help manage the anxiety while you tackle the physical side of hair loss. ### **Shipping to the EU** ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ You're on the right path by addressing your health with your doctor.

Inflammatory hair loss can be frustrating, but with the right approach, you can help reduce inflammation and support regrowth. Here are some key tips to address **inflammatory hair loss**: ### 1. **Target the Cause of Inflammation**: - **Scalp Conditions**: If the inflammation is due to conditions like **seborrheic dermatitis**, **psoriasis**, or **folliculitis**, treating the underlying condition is key. Use **medicated shampoos** with ingredients like **ketoconazole**, **zinc pyrithione**, or **salicylic acid** to reduce irritation. - **Allergies or Sensitivities**: If the inflammation is caused by a reaction to hair products, switch to **gentle, fragrance-free** options. ### 2. **Reduce Stress**: Stress can worsen inflammation and hair loss. Incorporate stress-reducing activities like **yoga**, **meditation**, or **exercise** into your routine to help your body heal faster. ### 3. **Use Anti-Inflammatory Treatments**: - **Topical corticosteroids** (prescription) or **natural anti-inflammatory oils** like **tea tree** or **peppermint oil** (diluted with a carrier oil) can help reduce scalp inflammation. - **Omega-3 supplements** or **turmeric** (curcumin) can also help internally reduce inflammation, supporting healthier hair growth. ### 4. **Gentle Scalp Care**: Avoid harsh treatments, tight hairstyles, or excessive heat styling that could worsen inflammation. Opt for gentle scalp massages to stimulate circulation without irritating the scalp. ### 5. **Balanced Diet**: Make sure you're getting enough vitamins and minerals that promote hair health, like **vitamin D**, **zinc**, **biotin**, and **iron**. A balanced diet with anti-inflammatory foods (fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats) can also support hair recovery. ### How Long Does It Take to Heal? - The time it takes to see results varies, but with consistent treatment, you might start noticing less shedding and reduced inflammation in **2-3 months**. Full regrowth can take **6-12 months**, depending on how severe the inflammation was. ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ for personalized advice and to explore anti-inflammatory solutions for your hair!
Yes, **antioxidants** are definitely important for hair health! 🌟 They help protect your hair and scalp from damage caused by **free radicals**, which can weaken hair follicles and contribute to hair thinning or loss over time. Antioxidants fight off this oxidative stress and keep your hair looking healthy and strong. Here are some key types of antioxidants beneficial for hair: 🌿 **Vitamin C**: Helps with collagen production, which strengthens hair and supports scalp health. It's also great for absorbing iron, another essential for hair growth. 🌿 **Vitamin E**: Improves scalp circulation and protects hair follicles from damage. It also locks in moisture for healthier strands. 🌿 **Polyphenols**: Found in green tea and certain fruits, these can help protect your scalp and even block DHT, the hormone linked to hair loss. 🌿 **Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)**: An antioxidant that helps maintain healthy hair follicles and stimulates keratin production. 🌿 **Resveratrol**: Found in grapes and berries, it's another powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and protect your hair from aging. Including more antioxidant-rich foods like berries, green leafy veggies, nuts, and seeds in your diet can give your hair that extra defense! 💪 ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
I crush and mix 2.5 milligrams with minoxidil. Apply on my head once a week. Is this enough dose for a topical finasteride? I also used organic rosemary oil with organic castor oil twice a week a small amount 3 hours after using minoxidil. I derma roll 3 times a week. Would you recommend using alperton caffeine serum. 3 hours on the day I'm not using the oils. After applying minoxidil. Please be kind enough to answer my questions. Love the channel.
I'm a 73yo female with about 90% hair loss that started at about age 35. I have had Hashimoto's since puberty. Neither of my parents had hair loss but my paternal aunt did. I eat well, take collagen protein, and AG1. Is it too late for me to regrow hair? Is there any REAL hope?
My hair stopped shedding after starting DHT Blocker vitiamins, shampoo and conditioner, but its not growing either. In fact, my front hairline has gotten shorter and thinner. Should I continue using these products or should I try minoxidil?
Hey there! 😊 Premature greying can be frustrating, but there are some things you can do to potentially **slow down** or **manage** the process. Here are some treatment options and lifestyle adjustments you can consider: ### 1. **Increase Vitamin and Mineral Intake**: - **Vitamin B12**: Low levels of B12 are linked to premature greying. If you’re deficient, adding more B12 through your diet or supplements might help. - **Copper & Iron**: These minerals are essential for melanin production (the pigment that gives hair its color). Make sure you’re getting enough through foods like nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains. - **Folic Acid**: Helps in producing healthy red blood cells and can support hair pigmentation. ### 2. **Antioxidant-Rich Diet 🥦**: - Include foods high in **antioxidants** (like berries, green tea, and spinach) to help combat oxidative stress, which can contribute to hair greying. ### 3. **Natural Topical Treatments 🌿**: - **Amla (Indian Gooseberry)**: Known for its potential to slow down greying, amla can be used as an oil or in hair masks. It’s rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. - **Curry Leaves**: Known for promoting darker hair, curry leaves can be used in oil form by boiling them in coconut oil and applying to the scalp. ### 4. **Use Specialized Hair Products**: - **Anti-Greying Shampoos & Conditioners**: Some products are designed to boost melanin production or contain ingredients like **catalase**, which may help reduce hydrogen peroxide buildup in hair follicles (a known cause of greying). - **Henna**: A natural dye option to cover greys and condition your hair at the same time. ### 5. **Minimize Stress**: - High levels of stress have been linked to premature greying. Consider stress-management techniques like **meditation, yoga**, or regular exercise to help minimize its impact. ### 6. **Medical Treatments**: - Some emerging treatments, like **melanin-stimulating serums** or supplements, are being explored for slowing down greying. Consult with a dermatologist or trichologist to see if these might work for you. While there's no guaranteed way to reverse greying, these steps may help **slow down** the process and keep your hair healthy. ➡️ Reach out to us at [www.advancedtrichology.com/](www.advancedtrichology.com/) for more personalized recommendations on managing premature greying!
I am a female with female pattern hairloss and acute telogen effluvium as diagnosed by my doctor. Is minoxidil good to use ? How long should i use and if stopped wl i have hairloss ?
Do I have to wash my hair before or after using minoxidil?. Also since it is recommended to be used 2x daily does that mean I have to wash my hair every day, and do I also always have to use shampoo to wash my hair when using minoxidil?
Good question! You don’t need to wash your hair every time you apply minoxidil. Here’s a quick breakdown to make things easier: 🕑 **Application on a Clean Scalp**: It’s best to apply minoxidil on a clean, dry scalp to ensure it absorbs well. But you don’t have to wash your hair each time-just make sure there’s no heavy buildup of styling products or oils that could block absorption. 🧴 **Washing Routine**: You don’t need to shampoo twice a day or even every day. Just keep your regular washing schedule (2-3 times a week is fine for most) and apply minoxidil to your scalp morning and evening as instructed. 🧼 **No Need for Shampoo Every Time**: When you do wash, you can simply rinse with water if you’re washing between shampoos, or use a gentle shampoo to avoid drying out the scalp. So, no need to overdo the washing! Just stick to a schedule that feels manageable and keep your scalp relatively clean. 😊
Hey doctor, I commented on your video a few months back about my diffuse thinning due to Vit D, B12 deficiency and SebDerm. I have an additional question, should I start using topical Minoxidil foam? I have thin hairs growing all over my scalp, some of them are the same length as my normal hairs and some are thickening close to the root, but not as nearly as thick as my healthy hair. My hairline has receded, however I don't see it receding at all in the past 3 years. My temples are extremely thin with smaller hairs growing about 1mm long barely visible without a camera. On a positive note, I notice my hair falling less in the shower compared to a few months back when I'd see about 50 hairs, now down to maybe 20. Thank You!
Hey there! 😊 It sounds like you're already making some great progress with your hair health, especially with the reduced shedding-nice work! 👏 Since you’re dealing with diffuse thinning, vitamin deficiencies, and seborrheic dermatitis, it might be worth considering **minoxidil foam** as an option, especially since you’re seeing thin hairs growing already. Here's why **minoxidil** could help: - It stimulates **hair follicles**, encouraging the growth of thin hairs into thicker, healthier strands. - It works well for diffuse thinning and even stabilizing your hairline and temple areas. The fact that your hairline hasn’t receded in 3 years is a good sign, but minoxidil can help strengthen those smaller hairs at the temples that are barely visible now. The fact that you’re already seeing some positive signs of regrowth without heavy shedding means that adding minoxidil might give your hair that extra boost to help those thinner, smaller hairs become stronger and more noticeable. Just keep in mind that consistency is key, and results can take 3-6 months. Also, make sure you're managing your **seborrheic dermatitis** to avoid scalp irritation while using minoxidil. You can use gentle shampoos like **ketoconazole** to keep your scalp healthy. Sounds like you're on the right track-keep up the good work! 🌟 ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
In your video you mention taking DHT levels too low could be a bad thing. I've been on Dutasteride for 1.5 years and my dihydrotestosterone is 6 ng/dl. I don't have sides other than a little weight gain. Unfortunately hair still falling out. Bloodwork has checked everything possible and all comes back normal. My doctor told me I could increase my does of Dutasteride but wondering if my hair loss is being caused by DHT since that number seems low. Thoughts?
Thanks for sharing your situation! It sounds like you've really been on top of things with your **DHT** management and bloodwork. A **DHT level of 6 ng/dl** is quite low, especially on **Dutasteride**, which is much stronger than Finasteride in reducing DHT. The fact that your DHT is already very low suggests that your hair loss might not be entirely DHT-related at this point. Here’s what could be happening: 🧬 **Other factors**: While DHT is a major cause of male pattern baldness, other factors could be contributing to your continued hair loss: - **Inflammation** or scalp issues - **Stress** or **telogen effluvium** (temporary shedding caused by stress, illness, or other triggers) - **Micronutrient deficiencies** (even if basic bloodwork is normal, more subtle deficiencies like in iron, zinc, or B12 might play a role). 💊 **Dutasteride** dosage: Increasing the dose of Dutasteride might not provide much additional benefit if your DHT is already so low. You may want to explore **non-DHT-focused treatments** in addition to Dutasteride: - **Minoxidil**: If you're not already using it, topical **minoxidil** helps by increasing blood flow and stimulating follicles directly. - **Low-level laser therapy (LLLT)**: Helps stimulate hair follicles and promote growth independently of DHT. - **PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy**: This can help repair damaged follicles and support hair regrowth by injecting growth factors into the scalp. 🔬 **Other androgens or hormones**: Sometimes, hair loss persists due to sensitivity to **other hormones** or issues like insulin resistance, even with low DHT levels. It might be worth exploring more specialized tests for **androgens**, like testosterone, estradiol, or SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). Since your DHT levels are already quite low, I'd suggest focusing on **scalp health, stimulating hair regrowth**, and possibly seeking a second opinion from a dermatologist specializing in hair loss. There might be something else contributing to the shedding beyond DHT. ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Hair growth serums containing **Redensyl**, **Procapil**, **Biocapil**, and **Anagain** are becoming popular due to their promising, science-backed ingredients. While results can vary, here's how each of these ingredients works and their effectiveness for **hair regrowth**: 🌿 **Redensyl**: - **How it works**: Targets hair follicle stem cells and promotes their activity, helping to kickstart the anagen (growth) phase of hair. - **Effectiveness**: Studies suggest that Redensyl can help reduce hair fall and stimulate new hair growth in as little as 3 months. It's a good alternative to minoxidil for people who prefer non-pharmaceutical options. 🌿 **Procapil**: - **How it works**: A combination of biotinoyl tripeptide-1, apigenin, and oleanolic acid that strengthens hair and fights DHT-related follicle aging. - **Effectiveness**: Helps slow down DHT-related hair loss, especially around the hairline and crown. Procapil is effective in improving hair thickness and longevity by strengthening the hair shaft. 🌿 **Biocapil**: - **How it works**: Another plant-based complex targeting hair loss by promoting blood circulation to the scalp and reducing DHT levels locally. - **Effectiveness**: While it's less commonly studied compared to Redensyl and Procapil, Biocapil shows potential in improving scalp health and hair growth. 🌿 **Anagain**: - **How it works**: Derived from pea sprout extract, Anagain helps reactivate dormant hair follicles, prolonging the hair's growth phase and reducing shedding. - **Effectiveness**: Clinical studies have shown that Anagain can reduce hair loss by 33% and increase hair density in about 3 months. Overall, these serums can be quite effective for **early to moderate hair thinning** and are good alternatives or additions to traditional treatments like minoxidil. They work best when used consistently, and while results can be noticeable within 3-6 months, they may not be as potent as pharmaceutical options in cases of more severe hair loss. 🌱 ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
I am an 18-year-old young man suffering from hereditary hair loss. Do you advise me to use Minoxidil and Sublime to reduce the DHD enzyme? What vitamins do you advise me to take to get healthy hair? Please answer my question.❤❤
Hy William, this question is out of this topic ( sorry ) . My mom has psoriasis since she was 13 years old , now she has 61 , she is trying all kind of creams for the scalp skin, no doctor has given her something for the dryness but cortizol creams . I want to see if you have a better sollution ! Thank you for your time and help !
I'm really sorry to hear that your mom has been struggling with psoriasis for so long. It can be really tough to manage, especially when treatments don’t seem to provide long-lasting relief. **Corticosteroid creams** like cortisone are often prescribed for psoriasis flare-ups, but they don't always address the underlying **dryness** or **scalp health** that comes with chronic psoriasis. Here are some alternative treatments and tips that might help your mom with **scalp dryness** while managing her psoriasis: ### 1. **Medicated Shampoos**: Shampoos containing **coal tar**, **salicylic acid**, or **ketoconazole** can help reduce scaling, flaking, and irritation, which might reduce the need for constant steroid use. These shampoos can be used a few times a week to keep psoriasis under control. - **Salicylic acid** helps exfoliate dead skin and improve moisture penetration. - **Coal tar** slows down skin cell turnover, reducing scaling and flakiness. ### 2. **Moisturizing Scalp Oils**: Natural oils like **coconut oil**, **jojoba oil**, or **argan oil** can help with the extreme dryness that often accompanies psoriasis. Applying a **light layer of oil** to the scalp before bed, then gently washing it out in the morning, can help soothe and hydrate the scalp. - Coconut oil also has **anti-inflammatory** and **antimicrobial** properties, which can help prevent secondary infections. ### 3. **Oatmeal or Aloe Vera Scalp Treatments**: Oatmeal and aloe vera are known for their soothing and hydrating effects. She can use an **aloe vera gel** or an **oatmeal-based scalp mask** to help calm inflammation and moisturize the scalp. These treatments can be left on for 20-30 minutes before washing them off. ### 4. **Humectant-Based Moisturizers**: Products containing **glycerin** or **hyaluronic acid** can help draw moisture into the scalp, keeping it hydrated for longer. These can be applied in between medicated treatments to ensure the scalp doesn't dry out. ### 5. **Light Therapy (Phototherapy)**: In more persistent cases, **UVB light therapy** can be effective for treating psoriasis. It helps reduce inflammation and slows the overproduction of skin cells. Many people with psoriasis find relief with this non-invasive treatment. ### 6. **Dietary Changes and Supplements**: For some people with psoriasis, dietary changes can help reduce inflammation. She could try: - **Omega-3 fatty acids** (from fish oil or flaxseed) to help reduce inflammation. - **Turmeric** (curcumin), which has anti-inflammatory properties. - **Vitamin D supplements**, as low vitamin D levels can exacerbate psoriasis. ### 7. **Stress Management**: Psoriasis can flare up due to stress, so incorporating relaxation techniques like **meditation**, **yoga**, or **deep breathing** exercises may help manage both stress and inflammation. ### Important Note: If your mom has been using corticosteroids for a long time, it’s important to **gradually taper off** (under a doctor’s supervision) if she transitions to these alternatives to avoid a rebound effect from stopping steroids too suddenly. By incorporating these soothing, hydrating treatments alongside her current regimen, she might experience better relief from the dryness and irritation that comes with scalp psoriasis. ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ if you want more personalized recommendations for your mom's scalp care!
Is It Normal to Lose Hair Every Day? Yes, it’s absolutely normal to lose 50-100 hairs every day. This daily shedding is part of the hair growth cycle, and it doesn't mean you're going bald! However, if you notice excessive shedding (like clumps of hair falling out or noticeable thinning), it’s important to investigate the cause.
Typically, finasteride is taken **daily** (1 mg) to effectively lower **DHT levels** in the scalp and bloodstream, which helps slow down hair loss. Taking it **twice a week** might not be enough to significantly reduce DHT levels because it has a **short half-life** (about 6-8 hours), meaning it needs regular, consistent use to keep DHT levels low. Finasteride primarily targets **DHT**, not androgens like testosterone. However, by lowering DHT, it helps prevent hair loss caused by DHT’s effects on hair follicles. For optimal results, a **daily dose** is usually recommended, but if you're concerned about side effects, you could speak with a doctor about adjusting your dose. It's great that you're being proactive-just make sure you consult with a healthcare provider for the best approach! 💪 ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Thanks for detailed reply. I am 25 year old And I am considering to taking finastride So, let me know how can I prevent and Possible side effects? 2nd what will be the precautions of using finastride? Like What test should I do before taking and after one month of taking in order to monitor possible side effects: 3rd does topical finastride will effects same as oral? Topical finastride does regrow lost hair back? Please your response will be highly appreciated.
Yes, many people, including some clients I've worked with, have reported positive results from using saw palmetto for hair growth. While it's not as potent as prescription medications like finasteride, saw palmetto is a popular natural DHT blocker, and some users have experienced improvements in hair thickness and a reduction in hair shedding over time. What You Should Know About Saw Palmetto: How it works: Saw palmetto blocks 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a major cause of androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss). Form: It’s available in both oral supplements and topical formulations like shampoos or serums. Some studies show that topical application may reduce DHT levels on the scalp, leading to less hair thinning. Results and Expectations: Moderate Improvement: While saw palmetto isn't as strong as finasteride, people who have used it, especially in the early stages of hair loss, have reported slower hair thinning and moderate regrowth. It tends to be more effective for maintaining existing hair rather than regrowing lost hair. Time Frame: Results usually take time-about 3-6 months of consistent use-before you notice any visible improvement. Clinical Backing: Some studies support saw palmetto’s effectiveness for hair growth, with findings showing a significant reduction in hair loss and improved density after consistent use, especially in men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia. My Advice: If you’re looking for a natural DHT blocker with fewer risks of side effects (like those from finasteride), saw palmetto is worth a try. For the best results, I’d recommend combining it with a healthy hair care routine, a balanced diet, and perhaps topical treatments like minoxidil. ➡️ If you’d like help figuring out how to incorporate saw palmetto into your routine or want more personalized advice, reach out at www.advancedtrichology.com/! 🌿

Great question! 💡 Here’s a breakdown of healthy levels for **zinc, folate,** and **vitamin B12**: - **Zinc**: Ideally, you want blood serum levels between **60-120 µg/dL**. - **Folate (Vitamin B9)**: Optimal range in blood serum is **2.7-17.0 ng/mL**. - **Vitamin B12**: Healthy levels range from **200-900 pg/mL**, but if you’re under 500 pg/mL, some experts suggest supplementation to avoid deficiency symptoms like fatigue or hair loss. These nutrients play a big role in hair health too, so it's great that you're keeping an eye on them. 🧑⚕️✨ ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Women in the history had their hair so long it reached the ground and they didn’t shampoo with these commercial chemical shampoos . Vinegar cleanes scalp and hair as well and it doesnt have chemicals👌🏼
Losing hair at the crown can be concerning, but it’s a common pattern of hair loss and can have several causes. Let’s break it down: --- ### **1. Common Causes of Hair Loss at the Crown** #### **a. Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness)** - This is the most common cause of hair loss at the crown. It happens when your hair follicles are sensitive to **DHT (dihydrotestosterone)**, a hormone that causes miniaturization of hair follicles over time. - Early signs include thinning or widening of the crown area, with the rest of your hairline remaining intact. #### **b. Stress (Telogen Effluvium)** - Stress, illness, or major life changes can push more hair into the **telogen (shedding) phase**, causing noticeable thinning. - This type of hair loss is usually diffuse but can appear more obvious at the crown if that area is already vulnerable. #### **c. Scalp Issues** - **Dandruff**, **seborrheic dermatitis**, or scalp infections can cause localized hair loss if left untreated. Itching, flaking, or redness are common signs of scalp problems. #### **d. Nutritional Deficiencies** - Low levels of **iron**, **vitamin D**, **zinc**, or **biotin** can weaken hair and slow regrowth. - A blood test can help identify if deficiencies are contributing. #### **e. Hair Care Habits** - Tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, or chemical treatments can damage the hair at the crown, making it more prone to breakage and shedding. --- ### **2. How to Identify the Cause** 1. **Look for Other Symptoms**: - Is there itching, redness, or flaking? (Scalp condition) - Do you notice gradual thinning or widening of the part? (Androgenetic alopecia) - Did it start after stress, illness, or surgery? (Telogen effluvium) 2. **Check Your Family History**: - A family history of hair loss might point to **androgenetic alopecia**. 3. **Get a Blood Test**: - Test for **iron, ferritin, vitamin D, and thyroid function** to rule out deficiencies or hormonal imbalances. --- ### **3. What You Can Do** #### **For Androgenetic Alopecia**: - **Minoxidil**: Stimulates regrowth and thickens hair. - **Finasteride (for men)**: Blocks DHT to slow or stop further thinning. - **DHT-Blocking Shampoos**: Can reduce DHT on the scalp. #### **For Telogen Effluvium**: - Focus on stress reduction, a balanced diet, and addressing any deficiencies. - Hair should regrow naturally once the underlying cause is resolved. #### **For Scalp Issues**: - Use medicated shampoos with **ketoconazole** or **salicylic acid** to reduce inflammation. - Keep the scalp clean and moisturized. #### **Boost Your Routine**: - Add supplements like **biotin**, **zinc**, and **omega-3s** for hair health. - Massage your scalp daily to improve blood flow and stimulate follicles. --- ### **4. When to See a Specialist** If the thinning persists or worsens, consult a **trichologist** or dermatologist. Early intervention is key to stopping further hair loss and promoting regrowth. --- You’re not alone in this-crown thinning is common, but there’s a lot you can do to manage it! 😊➡️ For more personalized advice, visit www.advancedtrichology.com/. 💪

Yes, **garlic** can have a positive effect on **hair health** due to its powerful **antioxidant** and **anti-inflammatory** properties. While there’s no direct evidence that eating 1 or 2 cloves of raw garlic will significantly boost **hair growth**, garlic contains nutrients that can support overall hair health. Here’s how it might help: ### Benefits of Garlic for Hair: 1. **Rich in Sulfur**: Garlic contains **sulfur**, a key component in **keratin**, the protein that makes up your hair. Sulfur may help strengthen the hair shaft and reduce breakage. 2. **Antioxidant Properties**: Garlic is high in **antioxidants**, which can help protect hair follicles from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. 3. **Anti-inflammatory Effects**: Garlic’s **anti-inflammatory** compounds can help reduce scalp inflammation, which is often linked to hair loss (especially conditions like **seborrheic dermatitis** or **folliculitis**). 4. **Boosts Circulation**: Garlic may improve **blood circulation**, helping to deliver essential nutrients to the scalp, which can indirectly support hair growth. ### Ways to Use Garlic for Hair: - **Eating raw garlic** may help your overall health, including hair, but the effects on hair growth are indirect. It’s best to include garlic in a **balanced diet** that also provides other hair-boosting nutrients like **biotin**, **zinc**, and **vitamin D**. - **Topical garlic treatments** (like garlic-infused oils) are more directly applied to the scalp to potentially stimulate hair follicles. However, these should be used cautiously as raw garlic can be too harsh and irritating for the skin. ### Conclusion: Eating raw garlic is a healthy practice, but for noticeable hair growth, it’s best used as part of a **holistic hair care routine** that includes proper nutrition, scalp care, and possibly other treatments (like minoxidil or supplements). If you're dealing with specific hair loss issues, garlic might help support the scalp environment, but it won’t be a standalone solution for regrowing hair. ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ if you need more personalized advice on improving hair growth naturally!

If your hair loss is mainly focused on the **temples** while the top and part of your scalp remain unchanged, this is often a sign of **androgenetic alopecia** (male or female pattern baldness), which tends to start at the **temples and hairline**. This type of hair loss is common and typically follows a predictable pattern, especially in men, but women can experience it too. ### Here’s what could be happening and what you can do: ### 1. **Genetic Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)**: - **Temple thinning** is often the first sign of **genetic hair loss**. Over time, this can lead to a more **receding hairline**. - Even if the rest of your scalp and hair part hasn’t changed, **DHT** (a hormone that shrinks hair follicles) typically affects the **temples and front hairline** first. ### 2. **Traction Alopecia**: - If you wear tight hairstyles (ponytails, braids, etc.), you may be experiencing **traction alopecia**, where the constant pulling weakens the hair at the temples. This is a mechanical issue, not hormonal, and can be reversed by stopping the tight hairstyles. ### 3. **Nutrient Deficiencies**: - Sometimes **nutrient deficiencies** (like low **iron**, **biotin**, or **vitamin D**) can cause thinning in specific areas, though this is usually more diffuse across the scalp. Still, checking your nutrient levels is always a good step. ### What You Can Do: 1. **DHT Blockers**: - Since this sounds like early **androgenetic alopecia**, you might benefit from **DHT blockers** like **finasteride** (for men) or **saw palmetto** (a natural alternative for both men and women). These help reduce the impact of DHT on your hair follicles, slowing down the hair loss process. 2. **Minoxidil (Rogaine)**: - Applying **minoxidil** to your temples can help stimulate hair growth and thicken the hair in that area. Minoxidil promotes blood flow to the follicles, helping to reverse thinning. 3. **Gentle Scalp Care**: - Make sure you're using a gentle shampoo and conditioner to avoid further irritation or damage to the thinning areas. **Scalp massages** can also stimulate blood flow to the temples. 4. **Avoid Tight Hairstyles**: - If **traction alopecia** is part of the issue, avoid tight hairstyles and give your scalp a break from tension. 5. **Diet and Supplements**: - Ensure you’re getting enough hair-boosting nutrients like **zinc**, **iron**, **biotin**, and **omega-3s**. Hair loss at the temples can be related to internal factors, so maintaining a healthy diet is key. ### Early intervention is crucial to prevent further thinning, so starting treatments like **DHT blockers**, **minoxidil**, or focusing on your overall scalp health can help slow down or even reverse hair loss at the temples. ➡️ If you’re looking for personalized advice and product recommendations to address temple hair loss, feel free to reach out at **www.advancedtrichology.com/**!
I'm 18 male, I have been experiencing hair loss,i have an itchy dry scalp(I also have dandruff),i sometimes also experience pain in hair roots when I brush my hairs and sometimes even when they are still,please help
Hey! It sounds like you’re dealing with a few things at once-hair loss, itchy scalp, dandruff, and pain in the hair roots. Here's what could be going on: - **Dandruff & dry, itchy scalp**: This is likely due to **seborrheic dermatitis** or a similar scalp condition. The itching and flaking can damage your hair follicles over time, leading to hair thinning. - **Pain in hair roots**: This is often related to scalp inflammation or something called **trichodynia**, which can be caused by scalp tension or irritation. It might also be from your dandruff or an overly tight hairstyle. - **Hair loss**: The combination of these scalp issues could be contributing to your hair loss. Inflammation and itching might weaken your hair follicles. Here’s what might help: 🌿 **Shampoo**: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo with **zinc pyrithione** or **ketoconazole** a few times a week. This can help control dandruff and inflammation. 🧴 **Moisturize**: Use a gentle, moisturizing conditioner to soothe your dry scalp. You can also try **tea tree oil** or **aloe vera** for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. 🍃 **Avoid tight hairstyles** and rough brushing, as it could be aggravating your scalp. If the hair loss and pain persist, it’s best to see a dermatologist or trichologist to get a proper diagnosis and customized treatment. 💡 ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Great question! 😊 While there’s no universally agreed-upon “optimal” DHT level for females, there are **guidelines** and strategies to help manage it effectively, especially when you're noticing hair loss at the temples due to higher testosterone. --- ### **Understanding DHT in Women** - **DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)** is a byproduct of testosterone, converted by the enzyme **5-alpha reductase**. - Women naturally have lower DHT levels than men, but even a slight increase can trigger hair thinning in those with **androgen sensitivity** (like in androgenetic alopecia). - Hair loss at the **temples or hairline** is a common sign of DHT-related miniaturization of hair follicles. --- ### **Ballpark DHT Level for Women** - In clinical settings, the goal is typically to **lower DHT activity**, not necessarily to hit a specific number. - **DHT blood tests** aren’t always precise for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia, but here’s a rough range: - **Normal DHT levels in women**: ~0.5-2.5 ng/mL (varies by lab). - The focus is less about absolute levels and more on **reducing follicle sensitivity** to DHT. --- ### **What You Can Do to Manage DHT and Hair Loss** 1. **Target Follicle Sensitivity**: - Use **DHT-blocking treatments**, such as: - **Topical DHT blockers**: Shampoos or serums with **ketoconazole**, **saw palmetto**, or **pumpkin seed oil**. - **Spironolactone**: A commonly prescribed oral medication that blocks androgen receptors, reducing the impact of DHT on follicles. 2. **Manage Testosterone Levels**: - **Lifestyle Changes**: - Reduce stress, as cortisol fluctuations can affect androgen levels. - Focus on a balanced diet with less sugar and refined carbs, which can lower androgen production. - **Supplements**: - **Zinc**: Can help balance testosterone. - **Omega-3 fatty acids**: May reduce inflammation and regulate hormones. 3. **Scalp Stimulation**: - Use treatments like **minoxidil** to stimulate regrowth, regardless of DHT levels. 4. **Hormonal Testing**: - Get a full panel to evaluate testosterone, DHEA-S, estrogen, and progesterone to understand your overall hormonal picture. Sometimes elevated testosterone is part of a larger imbalance (e.g., low estrogen or progesterone). --- ### **When to Consult a Doctor** - If your testosterone or DHT levels are persistently elevated, a dermatologist or endocrinologist might explore: - **PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)**: A common condition that raises androgens in women. - **Other Hormonal Imbalances**: Thyroid dysfunction or adrenal issues. --- ### **Takeaway** The goal isn’t necessarily to “shoot for” a specific DHT level but to **reduce its impact** on your hair follicles. By addressing sensitivity to DHT and managing testosterone levels, you can protect your hairline and temples. ➡️ For more guidance and personalized solutions, visit www.advancedtrichology.com/.

Sir , I'm stephen 18yr old . I have excess sebum production on my scalp from 2 years , I'm using anti drandruff shampoo it's working like it's clearing flakes and dandruff but after one day again sebum production is excess and my hair is thinning.. Kindly give your solution sir
Hey Stephen! At 18, dealing with **excess sebum** and **hair thinning** can be super frustrating 😕. Excess oil on the scalp can clog hair follicles, causing irritation and even contributing to hair thinning over time. Here's what you can try to get it under control: 🧴 **Switch to a gentle shampoo**: While your anti-dandruff shampoo is helping with flakes, it might be too harsh if it's stripping your scalp and causing a rebound effect, leading to more oil production. Consider using a shampoo with **salicylic acid** or **ketoconazole**-these can help balance oil production without drying your scalp out. 💧 **Scalp care routine**: Try using a **scalp toner** or **exfoliating scrub** once a week to remove buildup from sebum and clear out pores, which can help reduce thinning over time. 🍃 **Diet and stress**: Sometimes excess sebum production can be triggered by diet (too many oily or processed foods) or stress. Try to include more leafy greens, omega-3s (like from flaxseeds or walnuts), and stay hydrated. Consistency is key, and it may take some time to see improvement, but reducing sebum should help with your hair health! 💪 ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
I'm 18 years old. I started losing hair when I was 14. My forehead got bigger and also my hair started thinning. I started using minoxidil 7 months ago. Now what Can I do?
Thank you for sharing your experience-starting to lose hair at such a young age can definitely be challenging. Since you've been using **minoxidil** for 7 months, you’re already on the right track for promoting hair growth and slowing down the hair thinning. Here’s what you can do to build on your progress and ensure the best results: ### 1. **Stick with Minoxidil**: If you're seeing some results with **minoxidil**, it’s important to stay consistent. Hair growth takes time, and most people see the best results after **6-12 months** of regular use. Stopping minoxidil too early can lead to shedding of the new hair that has grown. ### 2. **Consider Adding a DHT Blocker**: Since you're experiencing **thinning and a receding hairline**, it might be linked to **androgenetic alopecia** (male pattern baldness), which is caused by **DHT (dihydrotestosterone)**. Minoxidil helps stimulate hair growth, but it doesn’t stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles. - You could consider adding a **DHT blocker** like **finasteride** (consult with a healthcare provider for this) or natural alternatives like **saw palmetto**. DHT blockers help reduce hair loss by addressing the root cause. ### 3. **Improve Scalp Health**: Keeping your scalp healthy is crucial for hair growth. Consider these tips: - Use a **gentle, sulfate-free shampoo** to avoid irritation. - Regularly **massage your scalp** to improve blood circulation and encourage hair growth. - Keep your scalp clean to avoid buildup of oils or products that can clog follicles. ### 4. **Ensure Proper Nutrition**: A healthy diet plays a big role in hair growth. Make sure you're getting enough **protein**, **vitamin D**, **zinc**, **biotin**, and **iron** in your diet. These nutrients are essential for hair health. - You could also consider taking a **hair supplement** if your diet lacks certain nutrients. ### 5. **Consult a Trichologist or Dermatologist**: Since you’ve been dealing with hair loss for several years, it’s a good idea to consult a professional for an in-depth evaluation. They can help determine the exact cause of your hair loss (hormonal, genetic, nutritional, etc.) and recommend tailored treatments. ### 6. **Be Patient**: Hair growth is a slow process. It’s common to experience some shedding even while on treatments like minoxidil, but consistency is key to long-term results. You may not see major changes for several more months, so stick with the routine and give it time. ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ for additional help in managing hair loss and building a treatment plan that works for you!
For a 16-year-old, it’s generally best to be cautious. 🌿 Here’s a quick guide: Minoxidil: Most experts recommend it for people 18 and older, as it hasn’t been widely studied in younger teens. If you're noticing hair loss, it’s important to figure out the cause first before jumping into treatments like minoxidil. Rosemary oil: Safe for all ages! It’s a natural option that can help with circulation and scalp health. Just dilute it with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil) to avoid irritation. 🌱 Biotin: Safe for teens too! Biotin can support overall hair and nail health, but make sure you're not overdoing it-just stick to the recommended dosage. ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
I was using minoxidil for 8 month and i stop useing it for 3 month and i lost a lots of hair and i want to start using minoxidil again, can i regrow the hair that i lost in these 3 months? How long it takes to minoxidil work again? Im really worried pls answer me if you can, thank you doctor
I understand your concern, and you're not alone-many people experience **shedding** after stopping Minoxidil, as it promotes hair growth, but the effects can reverse when it's discontinued. The good news is that you **can** restart Minoxidil, and there's a chance that you can **regrow the hair** you lost during those 3 months. Here's what to expect: 1. **Regrowth**: When you start using Minoxidil again, it should begin stimulating your hair follicles like before. However, regrowing the hair you've lost might take time, typically **3-6 months** for noticeable regrowth. Some people see results earlier, but patience is key. 2. **Initial Shedding**: You might experience **initial shedding** when restarting Minoxidil. This happens because the medication is pushing out weak hairs to make room for healthier ones. 3. **Consistency**: It's important to be consistent with Minoxidil once you restart. Missing doses or stopping again can lead to further hair loss, so it's best to keep it part of your routine for ongoing results. Don't worry, restarting Minoxidil can help regain some of the lost hair, but just remember that results take time. Be patient and stick with it! 😊 ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ for more personalized advice on restarting Minoxidil and maintaining hair health!
Doctor i am 18 year old boy i am facing hairfall in which my some hairs are too fine and short just like miniaturization and there is some recession also,it is male pattern hairloss or iron deficiency cause i have history of iron deficiency,my Father have good hair.
Thank you for sharing your situation-it's understandable to be concerned about your hair loss at 18. From what you're describing, it sounds like you're experiencing **miniaturization** (where some hairs are becoming finer and shorter), along with some **recession**. This combination of symptoms is typical of **male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)**, but it could also be related to your **history of iron deficiency**. ### How to Differentiate Between Male Pattern Hair Loss and Iron Deficiency: Here are some ways to identify which might be causing your hair loss: #### 1. **Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPB)**: - **Miniaturization**: As you mentioned, **miniaturization** is a key sign of MPB, where the hair follicles shrink over time, producing finer and shorter hair. MPB typically affects the **temples** and **crown** of the scalp first. - **Recession**: If you're noticing a receding hairline, especially at the temples, this is a common sign of **androgenetic alopecia**. - **Family History**: Although your father has good hair, MPB can still occur without direct inheritance from parents. Sometimes it can skip generations or be influenced by maternal family genetics. #### 2. **Iron Deficiency**: - **Diffuse Thinning**: Hair loss caused by **iron deficiency** is often more **diffuse**, meaning it affects the entire scalp rather than just the hairline or crown. Hair becomes weak, brittle, and more prone to falling out across the scalp. - **Fine and Brittle Hair**: If your hair is becoming finer and more fragile, this could also be due to low **iron levels**. Iron is essential for healthy hair growth, as it helps red blood cells carry oxygen to hair follicles. ### Next Steps: 1. **Get Your Iron Levels Checked**: Since you’ve had a history of iron deficiency, it's important to get your iron levels rechecked, including **ferritin**, which measures stored iron. If your iron is low, addressing this with supplements and a diet rich in iron (like red meat, spinach, and legumes) can help improve your hair health. 2. **Consider DHT Blockers for MPB**: If male pattern hair loss is the cause, you might want to consider starting treatments like: - **Minoxidil** (for hair regrowth). - **DHT blockers** like **finasteride** (which slows down the progression of MPB). - **Natural alternatives** like **saw palmetto** if you're hesitant about medications. 3. **Consult a Trichologist or Dermatologist**: Since you're dealing with both potential iron deficiency and possible MPB, it’s a good idea to see a specialist who can diagnose the exact cause. They may suggest blood tests (for iron, ferritin, etc.) and a scalp examination to confirm whether it's MPB or something else. ### Conclusion: - If your hair loss is diffuse and weak across the entire scalp, it could be **iron deficiency**. - If you're noticing **miniaturization** and **recession** specifically at the hairline or crown, it's more likely to be **male pattern baldness**. Addressing both iron levels and starting early treatment for MPB, if needed, will give you the best chance to maintain your hair. ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ for personalized advice on hair loss treatments and nutritional support!
When it comes to **inflammatory hair loss**, the key is treating both the **inflammation** and supporting hair regrowth. Here are some of the best treatment options: 🌿 **Topical anti-inflammatory treatments**: - **Corticosteroid creams/lotions**: These are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and soothe the scalp. They help calm the immune response that might be attacking your hair follicles. - **Ketoconazole shampoos**: These can reduce inflammation and treat scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause hair loss. It also has mild anti-DHT properties that may help with hair regrowth. - **Tea tree oil or aloe vera**: Natural anti-inflammatory agents that can help soothe the scalp when applied regularly. 💊 **Oral treatments**: - **Corticosteroids**: For more severe inflammation, your doctor may prescribe oral corticosteroids to calm down the immune system and reduce hair loss. - **Anti-inflammatory supplements**: Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and curcumin can all help reduce inflammation in the body, which may benefit your scalp. 🔬 **Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy**: This involves injecting your own plasma (rich in growth factors) into your scalp to stimulate hair growth and repair damaged follicles. It can be very effective for inflammatory hair loss. 💡 **Minoxidil**: While it doesn't treat inflammation directly, it promotes hair regrowth and can be combined with anti-inflammatory treatments to restore hair. 👩⚕️ **Consult a dermatologist**: It's always best to have a professional assess the root cause of the inflammation and tailor a treatment plan specific to your condition. Sometimes, conditions like **lichen planopilaris** or **alopecia areata** may need more targeted therapies. By addressing the inflammation first and supporting healthy hair growth, you can slow down hair loss and even regrow hair over time. 🌱 ➡️Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/
Thank you so much! ❤️ I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful! To answer your question: If you've been using **minoxidil** for 2 months and you stop now, unfortunately, the hair growth that **minoxidil** has stimulated could be lost. Minoxidil works by keeping hair follicles in the **growth phase (anagen)** longer, but when you stop using it, the hair that was supported by minoxidil will eventually **shed**. This usually happens within **3-6 months** of stopping the treatment. Minoxidil requires **long-term use** to maintain the hair growth it promotes. If you stop now, there's a chance that you'll not only lose the progress you've made but might also see more hair loss as the follicles revert to their natural state. If you're considering stopping minoxidil, it's good to explore **alternative treatments** like **DHT blockers** or **other topical treatments** to manage hair loss. ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/ for advice on managing hair loss and finding treatments that work for you! 😊

Hello Doctor, I started using Raw Batana oil and my shampo with batana which is 100% natural. I was watching famous Dr.Sebi about it .Can you tell me your opinion about it and is it really good?
Hey there! 😊 **Batana oil** is often called "liquid gold" for a reason-it's packed with nutrients like essential fatty acids and antioxidants that can help strengthen and nourish hair. It’s especially great for adding moisture and repairing damaged hair. If you're seeing benefits, that's awesome!
As for **Dr. Sebi**, he was known for promoting natural remedies and holistic health. While Batana oil can definitely improve hair texture and health, it’s not a cure for hair loss, especially if your hair loss is genetic or hormonal. For those situations, it’s best to combine Batana oil with more targeted treatments like DHT blockers or therapies like minoxidil.
So yes, it's a great oil for overall hair care, but for advanced hair loss, you might need something more along with it! 🌿✨

My son is using minoxidil currently on his receding hairline. He’s 22 years old. If he would start weaning off of it and adding in your serum NutraM every day, could he get off of minoxidil?
Question: If you improve your lifestyle/wellbeing and reverse a hormonal imbalance, can you stop taking the DHT products/medication? Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos!
I'm 28, female, and struggle with hair loss for quiet some time now. I take Vitamin D supplements and have a scheduled appointment with my doctor to get supplements for my low ferritin levels (40 ng/ml). Also I struggle with oily skin/scalp, dandruff, redness and acne...
I lose a lot of long and thick hair but also short thin and almost colorless hair. I also have regrowth at the same time. But I'm not sure what's miniaturised hair and what not...
My concern: my DHEA-S levels were at 415 mcg/dl in June and are now at 528 mcg/dl. Does DHEA-S has anything to do with DHT/androgenetic alopecia?
These last months were hell for me. Not only but mainly my hair loss gives me severe anxiety and sometimes panic attacks. I always had the thickest and longest hair, extremly dense. My heart goes out to every woman (and man) who is going through the same thing.
I'm from Austria. Do you ship your products to EU countries?
Hey Odelia! 😊 Thank you for sharing your story, and I completely understand how stressful dealing with hair loss can be. You're already doing a great job by addressing **low ferritin** and **Vitamin D** deficiencies, both of which are key for hair health. Here's a little more info on your concerns:
### **DHEA-S and Hair Loss**
Yes, **DHEA-S** (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) can play a role in hair loss. DHEA-S is a precursor hormone that can convert into **androgens** like **DHT**, which is a key player in **androgenetic alopecia** (pattern hair loss). Elevated levels of DHEA-S can increase the risk of DHT production, which may contribute to hair thinning. Since your levels have increased recently, it could be worth discussing with your doctor to explore treatment options that manage **androgen levels**.
### **Miniaturized Hair**
Miniaturized hair refers to hairs that become thinner, shorter, and lighter in color due to **DHT** affecting the follicles. If you're seeing **short, thin, and almost colorless hairs**, that could indicate miniaturization. The fact that you're also seeing **regrowth** is a good sign, though it’s important to address the underlying cause (like hormone levels) to prevent further miniaturization.
### **Oily Scalp, Dandruff, and Acne**
These can all be linked to hormonal imbalances (like elevated DHEA-S) and scalp inflammation. Here's what might help:
- **Ketoconazole shampoos**: These can reduce dandruff, oiliness, and help mildly reduce DHT on the scalp.
- **Tea tree oil** or **salicylic acid shampoos**: They help balance oil production and treat inflammation.
### **Mental Health & Hair Loss**
I hear you about the anxiety and panic attacks due to hair loss. It can be really overwhelming, especially when you've had thick, dense hair all your life. You're not alone in this, and it’s great that you’re seeking help. Consider talking to a counselor or therapist to help manage the anxiety while you tackle the physical side of hair loss.

Hi can U say what are the best advice to cure inflammatory hair fall and how long does it take to cure. I am 20
Inflammatory hair loss can be frustrating, but with the right approach, you can help reduce inflammation and support regrowth. Here are some key tips to address **inflammatory hair loss**:
### 1. **Target the Cause of Inflammation**:
- **Scalp Conditions**: If the inflammation is due to conditions like **seborrheic dermatitis**, **psoriasis**, or **folliculitis**, treating the underlying condition is key. Use **medicated shampoos** with ingredients like **ketoconazole**, **zinc pyrithione**, or **salicylic acid** to reduce irritation.
- **Allergies or Sensitivities**: If the inflammation is caused by a reaction to hair products, switch to **gentle, fragrance-free** options.
### 2. **Reduce Stress**:
Stress can worsen inflammation and hair loss. Incorporate stress-reducing activities like **yoga**, **meditation**, or **exercise** into your routine to help your body heal faster.
### 3. **Use Anti-Inflammatory Treatments**:
- **Topical corticosteroids** (prescription) or **natural anti-inflammatory oils** like **tea tree** or **peppermint oil** (diluted with a carrier oil) can help reduce scalp inflammation.
- **Omega-3 supplements** or **turmeric** (curcumin) can also help internally reduce inflammation, supporting healthier hair growth.
### 4. **Gentle Scalp Care**:
Avoid harsh treatments, tight hairstyles, or excessive heat styling that could worsen inflammation. Opt for gentle scalp massages to stimulate circulation without irritating the scalp.
### 5. **Balanced Diet**:
Make sure you're getting enough vitamins and minerals that promote hair health, like **vitamin D**, **zinc**, **biotin**, and **iron**. A balanced diet with anti-inflammatory foods (fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats) can also support hair recovery.
### How Long Does It Take to Heal?
- The time it takes to see results varies, but with consistent treatment, you might start noticing less shedding and reduced inflammation in **2-3 months**. Full regrowth can take **6-12 months**, depending on how severe the inflammation was.

William, antioxidants are important for hair? what types?
Yes, **antioxidants** are definitely important for hair health! 🌟 They help protect your hair and scalp from damage caused by **free radicals**, which can weaken hair follicles and contribute to hair thinning or loss over time. Antioxidants fight off this oxidative stress and keep your hair looking healthy and strong.
Here are some key types of antioxidants beneficial for hair:
🌿 **Vitamin C**: Helps with collagen production, which strengthens hair and supports scalp health. It's also great for absorbing iron, another essential for hair growth.
🌿 **Vitamin E**: Improves scalp circulation and protects hair follicles from damage. It also locks in moisture for healthier strands.
🌿 **Polyphenols**: Found in green tea and certain fruits, these can help protect your scalp and even block DHT, the hormone linked to hair loss.
🌿 **Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)**: An antioxidant that helps maintain healthy hair follicles and stimulates keratin production.
🌿 **Resveratrol**: Found in grapes and berries, it's another powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and protect your hair from aging.
Including more antioxidant-rich foods like berries, green leafy veggies, nuts, and seeds in your diet can give your hair that extra defense! 💪

Hello Dr William can you pls suggest some treatment for premature grey hair treatment
Hey there! 😊
Premature greying can be frustrating, but there are some things you can do to potentially **slow down** or **manage** the process. Here are some treatment options and lifestyle adjustments you can consider:
### 1. **Increase Vitamin and Mineral Intake**:
- **Vitamin B12**: Low levels of B12 are linked to premature greying. If you’re deficient, adding more B12 through your diet or supplements might help.
- **Copper & Iron**: These minerals are essential for melanin production (the pigment that gives hair its color). Make sure you’re getting enough through foods like nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains.
- **Folic Acid**: Helps in producing healthy red blood cells and can support hair pigmentation.
### 2. **Antioxidant-Rich Diet 🥦**:
- Include foods high in **antioxidants** (like berries, green tea, and spinach) to help combat oxidative stress, which can contribute to hair greying.
### 3. **Natural Topical Treatments 🌿**:
- **Amla (Indian Gooseberry)**: Known for its potential to slow down greying, amla can be used as an oil or in hair masks. It’s rich in antioxidants and vitamin C.
- **Curry Leaves**: Known for promoting darker hair, curry leaves can be used in oil form by boiling them in coconut oil and applying to the scalp.
### 4. **Use Specialized Hair Products**:
- **Anti-Greying Shampoos & Conditioners**: Some products are designed to boost melanin production or contain ingredients like **catalase**, which may help reduce hydrogen peroxide buildup in hair follicles (a known cause of greying).
- **Henna**: A natural dye option to cover greys and condition your hair at the same time.
### 5. **Minimize Stress**:
- High levels of stress have been linked to premature greying. Consider stress-management techniques like **meditation, yoga**, or regular exercise to help minimize its impact.
### 6. **Medical Treatments**:
- Some emerging treatments, like **melanin-stimulating serums** or supplements, are being explored for slowing down greying. Consult with a dermatologist or trichologist to see if these might work for you.

I am a female with female pattern hairloss and acute telogen effluvium as diagnosed by my doctor. Is minoxidil good to use ? How long should i use and if stopped wl i have hairloss ?
Topical finastride or 5% minoxidil
Which one will be beneficial for mild hair loss
Due to male pattern baldness?
What is DUPA and DPA, How to diagnose it, What are the treatment option for the same?
Do I have to wash my hair before or after using minoxidil?. Also since it is recommended to be used 2x daily does that mean I have to wash my hair every day, and do I also always have to use shampoo to wash my hair when using minoxidil?
Good question! You don’t need to wash your hair every time you apply minoxidil. Here’s a quick breakdown to make things easier:
🕑 **Application on a Clean Scalp**: It’s best to apply minoxidil on a clean, dry scalp to ensure it absorbs well. But you don’t have to wash your hair each time-just make sure there’s no heavy buildup of styling products or oils that could block absorption.
🧴 **Washing Routine**: You don’t need to shampoo twice a day or even every day. Just keep your regular washing schedule (2-3 times a week is fine for most) and apply minoxidil to your scalp morning and evening as instructed.
🧼 **No Need for Shampoo Every Time**: When you do wash, you can simply rinse with water if you’re washing between shampoos, or use a gentle shampoo to avoid drying out the scalp.
So, no need to overdo the washing! Just stick to a schedule that feels manageable and keep your scalp relatively clean. 😊
@ Wow, Thanks you so much for the quick reply and breakdown. I’m definitely subscribed now 👍🏾
@@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist THANK YOU! Been looking everywhere for this info
Hey doctor, I commented on your video a few months back about my diffuse thinning due to Vit D, B12 deficiency and SebDerm. I have an additional question, should I start using topical Minoxidil foam? I have thin hairs growing all over my scalp, some of them are the same length as my normal hairs and some are thickening close to the root, but not as nearly as thick as my healthy hair. My hairline has receded, however I don't see it receding at all in the past 3 years. My temples are extremely thin with smaller hairs growing about 1mm long barely visible without a camera. On a positive note, I notice my hair falling less in the shower compared to a few months back when I'd see about 50 hairs, now down to maybe 20. Thank You!
Hey there! 😊 It sounds like you're already making some great progress with your hair health, especially with the reduced shedding-nice work! 👏 Since you’re dealing with diffuse thinning, vitamin deficiencies, and seborrheic dermatitis, it might be worth considering **minoxidil foam** as an option, especially since you’re seeing thin hairs growing already.
Here's why **minoxidil** could help:
- It stimulates **hair follicles**, encouraging the growth of thin hairs into thicker, healthier strands.
- It works well for diffuse thinning and even stabilizing your hairline and temple areas. The fact that your hairline hasn’t receded in 3 years is a good sign, but minoxidil can help strengthen those smaller hairs at the temples that are barely visible now.
The fact that you’re already seeing some positive signs of regrowth without heavy shedding means that adding minoxidil might give your hair that extra boost to help those thinner, smaller hairs become stronger and more noticeable. Just keep in mind that consistency is key, and results can take 3-6 months.
Also, make sure you're managing your **seborrheic dermatitis** to avoid scalp irritation while using minoxidil. You can use gentle shampoos like **ketoconazole** to keep your scalp healthy.
Sounds like you're on the right track-keep up the good work! 🌟

In your video you mention taking DHT levels too low could be a bad thing. I've been on Dutasteride for 1.5 years and my dihydrotestosterone is 6 ng/dl. I don't have sides other than a little weight gain. Unfortunately hair still falling out. Bloodwork has checked everything possible and all comes back normal. My doctor told me I could increase my does of Dutasteride but wondering if my hair loss is being caused by DHT since that number seems low. Thoughts?
Thanks for sharing your situation! It sounds like you've really been on top of things with your **DHT** management and bloodwork. A **DHT level of 6 ng/dl** is quite low, especially on **Dutasteride**, which is much stronger than Finasteride in reducing DHT. The fact that your DHT is already very low suggests that your hair loss might not be entirely DHT-related at this point. Here’s what could be happening:
🧬 **Other factors**: While DHT is a major cause of male pattern baldness, other factors could be contributing to your continued hair loss:
- **Inflammation** or scalp issues
- **Stress** or **telogen effluvium** (temporary shedding caused by stress, illness, or other triggers)
- **Micronutrient deficiencies** (even if basic bloodwork is normal, more subtle deficiencies like in iron, zinc, or B12 might play a role).
💊 **Dutasteride** dosage: Increasing the dose of Dutasteride might not provide much additional benefit if your DHT is already so low. You may want to explore **non-DHT-focused treatments** in addition to Dutasteride:
- **Minoxidil**: If you're not already using it, topical **minoxidil** helps by increasing blood flow and stimulating follicles directly.
- **Low-level laser therapy (LLLT)**: Helps stimulate hair follicles and promote growth independently of DHT.
- **PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy**: This can help repair damaged follicles and support hair regrowth by injecting growth factors into the scalp.
🔬 **Other androgens or hormones**: Sometimes, hair loss persists due to sensitivity to **other hormones** or issues like insulin resistance, even with low DHT levels. It might be worth exploring more specialized tests for **androgens**, like testosterone, estradiol, or SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin).
Since your DHT levels are already quite low, I'd suggest focusing on **scalp health, stimulating hair regrowth**, and possibly seeking a second opinion from a dermatologist specializing in hair loss. There might be something else contributing to the shedding beyond DHT.

How effective are hair growth serums with Redensyl Procapil biocapil anagain for hair regrowth?
Hair growth serums containing **Redensyl**, **Procapil**, **Biocapil**, and **Anagain** are becoming popular due to their promising, science-backed ingredients. While results can vary, here's how each of these ingredients works and their effectiveness for **hair regrowth**:
🌿 **Redensyl**:
- **How it works**: Targets hair follicle stem cells and promotes their activity, helping to kickstart the anagen (growth) phase of hair.
- **Effectiveness**: Studies suggest that Redensyl can help reduce hair fall and stimulate new hair growth in as little as 3 months. It's a good alternative to minoxidil for people who prefer non-pharmaceutical options.
🌿 **Procapil**:
- **How it works**: A combination of biotinoyl tripeptide-1, apigenin, and oleanolic acid that strengthens hair and fights DHT-related follicle aging.
- **Effectiveness**: Helps slow down DHT-related hair loss, especially around the hairline and crown. Procapil is effective in improving hair thickness and longevity by strengthening the hair shaft.
🌿 **Biocapil**:
- **How it works**: Another plant-based complex targeting hair loss by promoting blood circulation to the scalp and reducing DHT levels locally.
- **Effectiveness**: While it's less commonly studied compared to Redensyl and Procapil, Biocapil shows potential in improving scalp health and hair growth.
🌿 **Anagain**:
- **How it works**: Derived from pea sprout extract, Anagain helps reactivate dormant hair follicles, prolonging the hair's growth phase and reducing shedding.
- **Effectiveness**: Clinical studies have shown that Anagain can reduce hair loss by 33% and increase hair density in about 3 months.
Overall, these serums can be quite effective for **early to moderate hair thinning** and are good alternatives or additions to traditional treatments like minoxidil. They work best when used consistently, and while results can be noticeable within 3-6 months, they may not be as potent as pharmaceutical options in cases of more severe hair loss. 🌱

Does taking saw palmetto have side effects such as sexual impotence and tension?
Hy William, this question is out of this topic ( sorry ) .
My mom has psoriasis since she was 13 years old , now she has 61 , she is trying all kind of creams for the scalp skin, no doctor has given her something for the dryness but cortizol creams . I want to see if you have a better sollution ! Thank you for your time and help !
I'm really sorry to hear that your mom has been struggling with psoriasis for so long. It can be really tough to manage, especially when treatments don’t seem to provide long-lasting relief. **Corticosteroid creams** like cortisone are often prescribed for psoriasis flare-ups, but they don't always address the underlying **dryness** or **scalp health** that comes with chronic psoriasis.
Here are some alternative treatments and tips that might help your mom with **scalp dryness** while managing her psoriasis:
### 1. **Medicated Shampoos**:
Shampoos containing **coal tar**, **salicylic acid**, or **ketoconazole** can help reduce scaling, flaking, and irritation, which might reduce the need for constant steroid use. These shampoos can be used a few times a week to keep psoriasis under control.
- **Salicylic acid** helps exfoliate dead skin and improve moisture penetration.
- **Coal tar** slows down skin cell turnover, reducing scaling and flakiness.
### 2. **Moisturizing Scalp Oils**:
Natural oils like **coconut oil**, **jojoba oil**, or **argan oil** can help with the extreme dryness that often accompanies psoriasis. Applying a **light layer of oil** to the scalp before bed, then gently washing it out in the morning, can help soothe and hydrate the scalp.
- Coconut oil also has **anti-inflammatory** and **antimicrobial** properties, which can help prevent secondary infections.
### 3. **Oatmeal or Aloe Vera Scalp Treatments**:
Oatmeal and aloe vera are known for their soothing and hydrating effects. She can use an **aloe vera gel** or an **oatmeal-based scalp mask** to help calm inflammation and moisturize the scalp. These treatments can be left on for 20-30 minutes before washing them off.
### 4. **Humectant-Based Moisturizers**:
Products containing **glycerin** or **hyaluronic acid** can help draw moisture into the scalp, keeping it hydrated for longer. These can be applied in between medicated treatments to ensure the scalp doesn't dry out.
### 5. **Light Therapy (Phototherapy)**:
In more persistent cases, **UVB light therapy** can be effective for treating psoriasis. It helps reduce inflammation and slows the overproduction of skin cells. Many people with psoriasis find relief with this non-invasive treatment.
### 6. **Dietary Changes and Supplements**:
For some people with psoriasis, dietary changes can help reduce inflammation. She could try:
- **Omega-3 fatty acids** (from fish oil or flaxseed) to help reduce inflammation.
- **Turmeric** (curcumin), which has anti-inflammatory properties.
- **Vitamin D supplements**, as low vitamin D levels can exacerbate psoriasis.
### 7. **Stress Management**:
Psoriasis can flare up due to stress, so incorporating relaxation techniques like **meditation**, **yoga**, or **deep breathing** exercises may help manage both stress and inflammation.
### Important Note:
If your mom has been using corticosteroids for a long time, it’s important to **gradually taper off** (under a doctor’s supervision) if she transitions to these alternatives to avoid a rebound effect from stopping steroids too suddenly.
By incorporating these soothing, hydrating treatments alongside her current regimen, she might experience better relief from the dryness and irritation that comes with scalp psoriasis.

Can you make video on difference between hair fall hair shed and hair loss? Is it normal loosing hair every day?
Is It Normal to Lose Hair Every Day?
Yes, it’s absolutely normal to lose 50-100 hairs every day. This daily shedding is part of the hair growth cycle, and it doesn't mean you're going bald! However, if you notice excessive shedding (like clumps of hair falling out or noticeable thinning), it’s important to investigate the cause.
It been 1 year of my hair due to male pattern
So, does 2 doses of finastride per week can eliminate DHT along with androgens?
Age 25 year
Typically, finasteride is taken **daily** (1 mg) to effectively lower **DHT levels** in the scalp and bloodstream, which helps slow down hair loss. Taking it **twice a week** might not be enough to significantly reduce DHT levels because it has a **short half-life** (about 6-8 hours), meaning it needs regular, consistent use to keep DHT levels low.
Finasteride primarily targets **DHT**, not androgens like testosterone. However, by lowering DHT, it helps prevent hair loss caused by DHT’s effects on hair follicles. For optimal results, a **daily dose** is usually recommended, but if you're concerned about side effects, you could speak with a doctor about adjusting your dose.
It's great that you're being proactive-just make sure you consult with a healthcare provider for the best approach! 💪

Have you had a patient who used saw palmetto and saw an improvement in hair growth ? Thank you
Yes, many people, including some clients I've worked with, have reported positive results from using saw palmetto for hair growth. While it's not as potent as prescription medications like finasteride, saw palmetto is a popular natural DHT blocker, and some users have experienced improvements in hair thickness and a reduction in hair shedding over time.
What You Should Know About Saw Palmetto:
How it works: Saw palmetto blocks 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a major cause of androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss).
Form: It’s available in both oral supplements and topical formulations like shampoos or serums. Some studies show that topical application may reduce DHT levels on the scalp, leading to less hair thinning.
Results and Expectations:
Moderate Improvement: While saw palmetto isn't as strong as finasteride, people who have used it, especially in the early stages of hair loss, have reported slower hair thinning and moderate regrowth. It tends to be more effective for maintaining existing hair rather than regrowing lost hair.
Time Frame: Results usually take time-about 3-6 months of consistent use-before you notice any visible improvement.
Clinical Backing:
Some studies support saw palmetto’s effectiveness for hair growth, with findings showing a significant reduction in hair loss and improved density after consistent use, especially in men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia.
My Advice:
If you’re looking for a natural DHT blocker with fewer risks of side effects (like those from finasteride), saw palmetto is worth a try. For the best results, I’d recommend combining it with a healthy hair care routine, a balanced diet, and perhaps topical treatments like minoxidil.

doc i am losing some amount of hair on the crown part of my head.. whats the cause
Losing hair at the crown can be concerning, but it’s a common pattern of hair loss and can have several causes. Let’s break it down:
---
### **1. Common Causes of Hair Loss at the Crown**
#### **a. Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness)**
- This is the most common cause of hair loss at the crown. It happens when your hair follicles are sensitive to **DHT (dihydrotestosterone)**, a hormone that causes miniaturization of hair follicles over time.
- Early signs include thinning or widening of the crown area, with the rest of your hairline remaining intact.
#### **b. Stress (Telogen Effluvium)**
- Stress, illness, or major life changes can push more hair into the **telogen (shedding) phase**, causing noticeable thinning.
- This type of hair loss is usually diffuse but can appear more obvious at the crown if that area is already vulnerable.
#### **c. Scalp Issues**
- **Dandruff**, **seborrheic dermatitis**, or scalp infections can cause localized hair loss if left untreated. Itching, flaking, or redness are common signs of scalp problems.
#### **d. Nutritional Deficiencies**
- Low levels of **iron**, **vitamin D**, **zinc**, or **biotin** can weaken hair and slow regrowth.
- A blood test can help identify if deficiencies are contributing.
#### **e. Hair Care Habits**
- Tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, or chemical treatments can damage the hair at the crown, making it more prone to breakage and shedding.
---
### **2. How to Identify the Cause**
1. **Look for Other Symptoms**:
- Is there itching, redness, or flaking? (Scalp condition)
- Do you notice gradual thinning or widening of the part? (Androgenetic alopecia)
- Did it start after stress, illness, or surgery? (Telogen effluvium)
2. **Check Your Family History**:
- A family history of hair loss might point to **androgenetic alopecia**.
3. **Get a Blood Test**:
- Test for **iron, ferritin, vitamin D, and thyroid function** to rule out deficiencies or hormonal imbalances.
---
### **3. What You Can Do**
#### **For Androgenetic Alopecia**:
- **Minoxidil**: Stimulates regrowth and thickens hair.
- **Finasteride (for men)**: Blocks DHT to slow or stop further thinning.
- **DHT-Blocking Shampoos**: Can reduce DHT on the scalp.
#### **For Telogen Effluvium**:
- Focus on stress reduction, a balanced diet, and addressing any deficiencies.
- Hair should regrow naturally once the underlying cause is resolved.
#### **For Scalp Issues**:
- Use medicated shampoos with **ketoconazole** or **salicylic acid** to reduce inflammation.
- Keep the scalp clean and moisturized.
#### **Boost Your Routine**:
- Add supplements like **biotin**, **zinc**, and **omega-3s** for hair health.
- Massage your scalp daily to improve blood flow and stimulate follicles.
---
### **4. When to See a Specialist**
If the thinning persists or worsens, consult a **trichologist** or dermatologist. Early intervention is key to stopping further hair loss and promoting regrowth.

Hello! I m having rashes with itching all over my body from oral finasteride. What to do?
Does eating 1 or 2 cloves of raw garlic have an effect on hair growth.
Yes, **garlic** can have a positive effect on **hair health** due to its powerful **antioxidant** and **anti-inflammatory** properties. While there’s no direct evidence that eating 1 or 2 cloves of raw garlic will significantly boost **hair growth**, garlic contains nutrients that can support overall hair health. Here’s how it might help:
### Benefits of Garlic for Hair:
1. **Rich in Sulfur**: Garlic contains **sulfur**, a key component in **keratin**, the protein that makes up your hair. Sulfur may help strengthen the hair shaft and reduce breakage.
2. **Antioxidant Properties**: Garlic is high in **antioxidants**, which can help protect hair follicles from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals.
3. **Anti-inflammatory Effects**: Garlic’s **anti-inflammatory** compounds can help reduce scalp inflammation, which is often linked to hair loss (especially conditions like **seborrheic dermatitis** or **folliculitis**).
4. **Boosts Circulation**: Garlic may improve **blood circulation**, helping to deliver essential nutrients to the scalp, which can indirectly support hair growth.
### Ways to Use Garlic for Hair:
- **Eating raw garlic** may help your overall health, including hair, but the effects on hair growth are indirect. It’s best to include garlic in a **balanced diet** that also provides other hair-boosting nutrients like **biotin**, **zinc**, and **vitamin D**.
- **Topical garlic treatments** (like garlic-infused oils) are more directly applied to the scalp to potentially stimulate hair follicles. However, these should be used cautiously as raw garlic can be too harsh and irritating for the skin.
### Conclusion:
Eating raw garlic is a healthy practice, but for noticeable hair growth, it’s best used as part of a **holistic hair care routine** that includes proper nutrition, scalp care, and possibly other treatments (like minoxidil or supplements). If you're dealing with specific hair loss issues, garlic might help support the scalp environment, but it won’t be a standalone solution for regrowing hair.

Doctor does herbal shampoos really help hairgrowth?
can you tell us what to do if we have hairloss from an eating disorder? i recovered from binge n bulimia in 2020-2021 but still my hair is so thin and sparse
Is there any way to stop hair loss even if you have it in your gene
What if your hair loss is at the temples only? My part on the top of my scalp hasn’t changed or widened.
If your hair loss is mainly focused on the **temples** while the top and part of your scalp remain unchanged, this is often a sign of **androgenetic alopecia** (male or female pattern baldness), which tends to start at the **temples and hairline**. This type of hair loss is common and typically follows a predictable pattern, especially in men, but women can experience it too.
### Here’s what could be happening and what you can do:
### 1. **Genetic Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)**:
- **Temple thinning** is often the first sign of **genetic hair loss**. Over time, this can lead to a more **receding hairline**.
- Even if the rest of your scalp and hair part hasn’t changed, **DHT** (a hormone that shrinks hair follicles) typically affects the **temples and front hairline** first.
### 2. **Traction Alopecia**:
- If you wear tight hairstyles (ponytails, braids, etc.), you may be experiencing **traction alopecia**, where the constant pulling weakens the hair at the temples. This is a mechanical issue, not hormonal, and can be reversed by stopping the tight hairstyles.
### 3. **Nutrient Deficiencies**:
- Sometimes **nutrient deficiencies** (like low **iron**, **biotin**, or **vitamin D**) can cause thinning in specific areas, though this is usually more diffuse across the scalp. Still, checking your nutrient levels is always a good step.
### What You Can Do:
1. **DHT Blockers**:
- Since this sounds like early **androgenetic alopecia**, you might benefit from **DHT blockers** like **finasteride** (for men) or **saw palmetto** (a natural alternative for both men and women). These help reduce the impact of DHT on your hair follicles, slowing down the hair loss process.
2. **Minoxidil (Rogaine)**:
- Applying **minoxidil** to your temples can help stimulate hair growth and thicken the hair in that area. Minoxidil promotes blood flow to the follicles, helping to reverse thinning.
3. **Gentle Scalp Care**:
- Make sure you're using a gentle shampoo and conditioner to avoid further irritation or damage to the thinning areas. **Scalp massages** can also stimulate blood flow to the temples.
4. **Avoid Tight Hairstyles**:
- If **traction alopecia** is part of the issue, avoid tight hairstyles and give your scalp a break from tension.
5. **Diet and Supplements**:
- Ensure you’re getting enough hair-boosting nutrients like **zinc**, **iron**, **biotin**, and **omega-3s**. Hair loss at the temples can be related to internal factors, so maintaining a healthy diet is key.
### Early intervention is crucial to prevent further thinning, so starting treatments like **DHT blockers**, **minoxidil**, or focusing on your overall scalp health can help slow down or even reverse hair loss at the temples.

I'm 18 male, I have been experiencing hair loss,i have an itchy dry scalp(I also have dandruff),i sometimes also experience pain in hair roots when I brush my hairs and sometimes even when they are still,please help
Hey doctor I have similar problem please help
Hey! It sounds like you’re dealing with a few things at once-hair loss, itchy scalp, dandruff, and pain in the hair roots. Here's what could be going on:
- **Dandruff & dry, itchy scalp**: This is likely due to **seborrheic dermatitis** or a similar scalp condition. The itching and flaking can damage your hair follicles over time, leading to hair thinning.
- **Pain in hair roots**: This is often related to scalp inflammation or something called **trichodynia**, which can be caused by scalp tension or irritation. It might also be from your dandruff or an overly tight hairstyle.
- **Hair loss**: The combination of these scalp issues could be contributing to your hair loss. Inflammation and itching might weaken your hair follicles.
Here’s what might help:
🌿 **Shampoo**: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo with **zinc pyrithione** or **ketoconazole** a few times a week. This can help control dandruff and inflammation.
🧴 **Moisturize**: Use a gentle, moisturizing conditioner to soothe your dry scalp. You can also try **tea tree oil** or **aloe vera** for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
🍃 **Avoid tight hairstyles** and rough brushing, as it could be aggravating your scalp.
If the hair loss and pain persist, it’s best to see a dermatologist or trichologist to get a proper diagnosis and customized treatment. 💡

Is there a ballpark level of DHT to shoot for for females? The hair on the temples tends to fall out when my testosterone is higher.
Great question! 😊 While there’s no universally agreed-upon “optimal” DHT level for females, there are **guidelines** and strategies to help manage it effectively, especially when you're noticing hair loss at the temples due to higher testosterone.
---
### **Understanding DHT in Women**
- **DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)** is a byproduct of testosterone, converted by the enzyme **5-alpha reductase**.
- Women naturally have lower DHT levels than men, but even a slight increase can trigger hair thinning in those with **androgen sensitivity** (like in androgenetic alopecia).
- Hair loss at the **temples or hairline** is a common sign of DHT-related miniaturization of hair follicles.
---
### **Ballpark DHT Level for Women**
- In clinical settings, the goal is typically to **lower DHT activity**, not necessarily to hit a specific number.
- **DHT blood tests** aren’t always precise for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia, but here’s a rough range:
- **Normal DHT levels in women**: ~0.5-2.5 ng/mL (varies by lab).
- The focus is less about absolute levels and more on **reducing follicle sensitivity** to DHT.
---
### **What You Can Do to Manage DHT and Hair Loss**
1. **Target Follicle Sensitivity**:
- Use **DHT-blocking treatments**, such as:
- **Topical DHT blockers**: Shampoos or serums with **ketoconazole**, **saw palmetto**, or **pumpkin seed oil**.
- **Spironolactone**: A commonly prescribed oral medication that blocks androgen receptors, reducing the impact of DHT on follicles.
2. **Manage Testosterone Levels**:
- **Lifestyle Changes**:
- Reduce stress, as cortisol fluctuations can affect androgen levels.
- Focus on a balanced diet with less sugar and refined carbs, which can lower androgen production.
- **Supplements**:
- **Zinc**: Can help balance testosterone.
- **Omega-3 fatty acids**: May reduce inflammation and regulate hormones.
3. **Scalp Stimulation**:
- Use treatments like **minoxidil** to stimulate regrowth, regardless of DHT levels.
4. **Hormonal Testing**:
- Get a full panel to evaluate testosterone, DHEA-S, estrogen, and progesterone to understand your overall hormonal picture. Sometimes elevated testosterone is part of a larger imbalance (e.g., low estrogen or progesterone).
---
### **When to Consult a Doctor**
- If your testosterone or DHT levels are persistently elevated, a dermatologist or endocrinologist might explore:
- **PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)**: A common condition that raises androgens in women.
- **Other Hormonal Imbalances**: Thyroid dysfunction or adrenal issues.
---
### **Takeaway**
The goal isn’t necessarily to “shoot for” a specific DHT level but to **reduce its impact** on your hair follicles. By addressing sensitivity to DHT and managing testosterone levels, you can protect your hairline and temples.

Sir , I'm stephen 18yr old . I have excess sebum production on my scalp from 2 years , I'm using anti drandruff shampoo it's working like it's clearing flakes and dandruff but after one day again sebum production is excess and my hair is thinning..
Kindly give your solution sir
Hey Stephen! At 18, dealing with **excess sebum** and **hair thinning** can be super frustrating 😕. Excess oil on the scalp can clog hair follicles, causing irritation and even contributing to hair thinning over time. Here's what you can try to get it under control:
🧴 **Switch to a gentle shampoo**: While your anti-dandruff shampoo is helping with flakes, it might be too harsh if it's stripping your scalp and causing a rebound effect, leading to more oil production. Consider using a shampoo with **salicylic acid** or **ketoconazole**-these can help balance oil production without drying your scalp out.
💧 **Scalp care routine**: Try using a **scalp toner** or **exfoliating scrub** once a week to remove buildup from sebum and clear out pores, which can help reduce thinning over time.
🍃 **Diet and stress**: Sometimes excess sebum production can be triggered by diet (too many oily or processed foods) or stress. Try to include more leafy greens, omega-3s (like from flaxseeds or walnuts), and stay hydrated.
Consistency is key, and it may take some time to see improvement, but reducing sebum should help with your hair health! 💪

I'm 18 years old. I started losing hair when I was 14. My forehead got bigger and also my hair started thinning. I started using minoxidil 7 months ago. Now what Can I do?
Minoxidil works or not
Thank you for sharing your experience-starting to lose hair at such a young age can definitely be challenging. Since you've been using **minoxidil** for 7 months, you’re already on the right track for promoting hair growth and slowing down the hair thinning. Here’s what you can do to build on your progress and ensure the best results:
### 1. **Stick with Minoxidil**:
If you're seeing some results with **minoxidil**, it’s important to stay consistent. Hair growth takes time, and most people see the best results after **6-12 months** of regular use. Stopping minoxidil too early can lead to shedding of the new hair that has grown.
### 2. **Consider Adding a DHT Blocker**:
Since you're experiencing **thinning and a receding hairline**, it might be linked to **androgenetic alopecia** (male pattern baldness), which is caused by **DHT (dihydrotestosterone)**. Minoxidil helps stimulate hair growth, but it doesn’t stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles.
- You could consider adding a **DHT blocker** like **finasteride** (consult with a healthcare provider for this) or natural alternatives like **saw palmetto**. DHT blockers help reduce hair loss by addressing the root cause.
### 3. **Improve Scalp Health**:
Keeping your scalp healthy is crucial for hair growth. Consider these tips:
- Use a **gentle, sulfate-free shampoo** to avoid irritation.
- Regularly **massage your scalp** to improve blood circulation and encourage hair growth.
- Keep your scalp clean to avoid buildup of oils or products that can clog follicles.
### 4. **Ensure Proper Nutrition**:
A healthy diet plays a big role in hair growth. Make sure you're getting enough **protein**, **vitamin D**, **zinc**, **biotin**, and **iron** in your diet. These nutrients are essential for hair health.
- You could also consider taking a **hair supplement** if your diet lacks certain nutrients.
### 5. **Consult a Trichologist or Dermatologist**:
Since you’ve been dealing with hair loss for several years, it’s a good idea to consult a professional for an in-depth evaluation. They can help determine the exact cause of your hair loss (hormonal, genetic, nutritional, etc.) and recommend tailored treatments.
### 6. **Be Patient**:
Hair growth is a slow process. It’s common to experience some shedding even while on treatments like minoxidil, but consistency is key to long-term results. You may not see major changes for several more months, so stick with the routine and give it time.

Can a 16 year old use minoxidil or rosemary oil and biotin?
For a 16-year-old, it’s generally best to be cautious. 🌿 Here’s a quick guide:
Minoxidil: Most experts recommend it for people 18 and older, as it hasn’t been widely studied in younger teens. If you're noticing hair loss, it’s important to figure out the cause first before jumping into treatments like minoxidil.
Rosemary oil: Safe for all ages! It’s a natural option that can help with circulation and scalp health. Just dilute it with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil) to avoid irritation. 🌱
Biotin: Safe for teens too! Biotin can support overall hair and nail health, but make sure you're not overdoing it-just stick to the recommended dosage.

Should my hair/receding corners be a little moist after applying?
I was using minoxidil for 8 month and i stop useing it for 3 month and i lost a lots of hair and i want to start using minoxidil again, can i regrow the hair that i lost in these 3 months? How long it takes to minoxidil work again?
Im really worried pls answer me if you can, thank you doctor
I understand your concern, and you're not alone-many people experience **shedding** after stopping Minoxidil, as it promotes hair growth, but the effects can reverse when it's discontinued. The good news is that you **can** restart Minoxidil, and there's a chance that you can **regrow the hair** you lost during those 3 months.
Here's what to expect:
1. **Regrowth**: When you start using Minoxidil again, it should begin stimulating your hair follicles like before. However, regrowing the hair you've lost might take time, typically **3-6 months** for noticeable regrowth. Some people see results earlier, but patience is key.
2. **Initial Shedding**: You might experience **initial shedding** when restarting Minoxidil. This happens because the medication is pushing out weak hairs to make room for healthier ones.
3. **Consistency**: It's important to be consistent with Minoxidil once you restart. Missing doses or stopping again can lead to further hair loss, so it's best to keep it part of your routine for ongoing results.
Don't worry, restarting Minoxidil can help regain some of the lost hair, but just remember that results take time. Be patient and stick with it! 😊

Doctor i am 18 year old boy i am facing hairfall in which my some hairs are too fine and short just like miniaturization and there is some recession also,it is male pattern hairloss or iron deficiency cause i have history of iron deficiency,my Father have good hair.
Thank you for sharing your situation-it's understandable to be concerned about your hair loss at 18. From what you're describing, it sounds like you're experiencing **miniaturization** (where some hairs are becoming finer and shorter), along with some **recession**. This combination of symptoms is typical of **male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)**, but it could also be related to your **history of iron deficiency**.
### How to Differentiate Between Male Pattern Hair Loss and Iron Deficiency:
Here are some ways to identify which might be causing your hair loss:
#### 1. **Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPB)**:
- **Miniaturization**: As you mentioned, **miniaturization** is a key sign of MPB, where the hair follicles shrink over time, producing finer and shorter hair. MPB typically affects the **temples** and **crown** of the scalp first.
- **Recession**: If you're noticing a receding hairline, especially at the temples, this is a common sign of **androgenetic alopecia**.
- **Family History**: Although your father has good hair, MPB can still occur without direct inheritance from parents. Sometimes it can skip generations or be influenced by maternal family genetics.
#### 2. **Iron Deficiency**:
- **Diffuse Thinning**: Hair loss caused by **iron deficiency** is often more **diffuse**, meaning it affects the entire scalp rather than just the hairline or crown. Hair becomes weak, brittle, and more prone to falling out across the scalp.
- **Fine and Brittle Hair**: If your hair is becoming finer and more fragile, this could also be due to low **iron levels**. Iron is essential for healthy hair growth, as it helps red blood cells carry oxygen to hair follicles.
### Next Steps:
1. **Get Your Iron Levels Checked**:
Since you’ve had a history of iron deficiency, it's important to get your iron levels rechecked, including **ferritin**, which measures stored iron. If your iron is low, addressing this with supplements and a diet rich in iron (like red meat, spinach, and legumes) can help improve your hair health.
2. **Consider DHT Blockers for MPB**:
If male pattern hair loss is the cause, you might want to consider starting treatments like:
- **Minoxidil** (for hair regrowth).
- **DHT blockers** like **finasteride** (which slows down the progression of MPB).
- **Natural alternatives** like **saw palmetto** if you're hesitant about medications.
3. **Consult a Trichologist or Dermatologist**:
Since you're dealing with both potential iron deficiency and possible MPB, it’s a good idea to see a specialist who can diagnose the exact cause. They may suggest blood tests (for iron, ferritin, etc.) and a scalp examination to confirm whether it's MPB or something else.
### Conclusion:
- If your hair loss is diffuse and weak across the entire scalp, it could be **iron deficiency**.
- If you're noticing **miniaturization** and **recession** specifically at the hairline or crown, it's more likely to be **male pattern baldness**.
Addressing both iron levels and starting early treatment for MPB, if needed, will give you the best chance to maintain your hair.

What is the best treatment for inflammation hair loss?
When it comes to **inflammatory hair loss**, the key is treating both the **inflammation** and supporting hair regrowth. Here are some of the best treatment options:
🌿 **Topical anti-inflammatory treatments**:
- **Corticosteroid creams/lotions**: These are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and soothe the scalp. They help calm the immune response that might be attacking your hair follicles.
- **Ketoconazole shampoos**: These can reduce inflammation and treat scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause hair loss. It also has mild anti-DHT properties that may help with hair regrowth.
- **Tea tree oil or aloe vera**: Natural anti-inflammatory agents that can help soothe the scalp when applied regularly.
💊 **Oral treatments**:
- **Corticosteroids**: For more severe inflammation, your doctor may prescribe oral corticosteroids to calm down the immune system and reduce hair loss.
- **Anti-inflammatory supplements**: Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and curcumin can all help reduce inflammation in the body, which may benefit your scalp.
🔬 **Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy**:
This involves injecting your own plasma (rich in growth factors) into your scalp to stimulate hair growth and repair damaged follicles. It can be very effective for inflammatory hair loss.
💡 **Minoxidil**: While it doesn't treat inflammation directly, it promotes hair regrowth and can be combined with anti-inflammatory treatments to restore hair.
👩⚕️ **Consult a dermatologist**: It's always best to have a professional assess the root cause of the inflammation and tailor a treatment plan specific to your condition. Sometimes, conditions like **lichen planopilaris** or **alopecia areata** may need more targeted therapies.
By addressing the inflammation first and supporting healthy hair growth, you can slow down hair loss and even regrow hair over time. 🌱

Hi sir, I like your videos❤️ I’m using minoxidil for 2 months now. Can I stop without losing more hair?
YOU ARE MARRIED
Thank you so much! ❤️ I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful!
To answer your question: If you've been using **minoxidil** for 2 months and you stop now, unfortunately, the hair growth that **minoxidil** has stimulated could be lost. Minoxidil works by keeping hair follicles in the **growth phase (anagen)** longer, but when you stop using it, the hair that was supported by minoxidil will eventually **shed**. This usually happens within **3-6 months** of stopping the treatment.
Minoxidil requires **long-term use** to maintain the hair growth it promotes. If you stop now, there's a chance that you'll not only lose the progress you've made but might also see more hair loss as the follicles revert to their natural state.
If you're considering stopping minoxidil, it's good to explore **alternative treatments** like **DHT blockers** or **other topical treatments** to manage hair loss.
