Minoxidil: Hair Shedding Concerns
Minoxidil, a common hair growth treatment, has a drawback—stopping its use often results in hair shedding. This makes many dermatologists favor supplements like Nutrafol or Viviscal to try and help prevent this shedding. Recently, oral minoxidil has gained popularity, but it shares the same issue of potential shedding after discontinuation. Long-term commitment to minoxidil may be necessary for sustained results, leading some to seek alternative options.
Exosomes for Hair Loss
Exosomes, found in products like Plated Hair Serum, are emerging as a promising treatment for hair loss. These tiny vesicles, derived from platelets, deliver cell signals that help stimulate hair growth. Exosome therapy is seen as an alternative to platelet-rich plasma (PRP), offering similar benefits without the need for invasive procedures. Many see exosomes as the next big innovation in hair restoration.
Controversy Over Hair Growth Supplements
Hair growth supplements like Viviscaland Nutrafol have stirred debate due to conflicting evidence regarding their effectiveness. While some users report noticeable improvement, others see minimal results. Dermatologists are cautious, advising that supplements should complement—not replace—clinically proven treatments like minoxidil. Despite high interest, the science remains inconclusive, sparking ongoing debate.
Dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann MD says "I have such great results with Neutrofol and VIviscal and Plated Hair Serum in my patients, that I always try those first for 4 months before I have a patient commit to minoxidil".
Natural Dandruff Treatments: Effective or Not?
Natural remedies like apple cider vinegar, argan oil, and tea tree oil are frequently promoted for treating dandruff, but their effectiveness compared to medicated shampoos like Derma Made Medi Wash or Hair Sanity remains a subject of debate. While some find relief using natural products, dermatologists warn that medicated solutions might be more reliable for long-term dandruff control, especially for chronic conditions like seborrheic dermatitis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you wash your hair?
It depends on your hair type. People with oily hair may need
to wash more frequently—up to 5-6 times a week, while those with curly or
coarse hair might benefit from washing only once or twice a week.
Should you only apply conditioner to the ends of your hair if it’s oily?
Yes, focusing conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends can
prevent excess oil buildup on the scalp. Avoid applying it directly to the
roots to keep hair from looking greasy.
What should you do if you get itchy bumps on your scalp?
Itchy bumps may indicate scalp folliculitis, an infection or
inflammation of hair follicles. Use gentle, non-comedogenic shampoos, and
consult a dermatologist for persistent issues.
How can you treat dandruff and get rid of it fast?
Dandruff, also called seborrheic dermatitis, can be managed
with medical-grade shampoos. Try Derma Made Medi Wash or Hair Sanity Shampoo
and Conditioner, both developed by dermatologists for dandruff and scalp inflammation.
Alternatively, Grande Cosmetics Scalp Serum can help hydrate the scalp.
What can help with scalp itching?
For itchy scalp, use products that soothe and hydrate. Hair
Sanity Shampoo and Conditioner and Derma Made Medi Wash were both developed by
dermatologists to treat dandruff They are both good options for calming scalp
irritation while balancing scalp moisture.
What can be done for thinning hair and hair loss?
Hair thinning can result from various factors, including
genetics, stress, and nutrient deficiencies. Treatments like Viviscal,
Nutrafol, and HairMax supplements are known to support hair regrowth and
strength. See a doctor first to determine the underlying cause of your
hair loss. For example, anemia and low
or high thyroid are common causes. Stress can cause telogen effluvium which is
temporary hair loss. These temporary types of hair loss respond best to hair growth
supplements.
What should men do for male pattern baldness?
Male pattern baldness can be treated with shampoos and
topical solutions like Zenagen, ISDIN Lambdapil Shampoo, and Toppik, which
target hair loss at the follicle level to slow down thinning. Talk to your doctor about procedures
such as prescription medications, PRP, microneedling, and transplants.
Are hair growth supplements effective?
Supplements like Viviscal and Nutrafol can be effective for
supporting hair growth by addressing deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and
other essential nutrients for hair health.
Hait supplements work best when hair loss is caused by a temporary condition
like anemia, viral illness, thyroid hormone dysfunction, or stress. If you are anemic,
talk to your doctor about iron supplements.Hair growth supplements
are a great way to make your hair grow faster when you get a bad haircut or you
just want longer hair.
How do you treat an oily scalp?
Oily scalps can be managed by using clarifying shampoos and
avoiding heavy conditioners at the roots. Washing frequently and using
lightweight styling products also helps control oil. If you have an extremely oily scalp, talk to your
dermatologist about Accutane and other options.
What is the best way to stimulate hair growth naturally?
Scalp massage is a simple method that can stimulate
circulation and potentially improve hair thickness. Adding essential oils like
peppermint oil may enhance these benefits. While not scientifically proven,
many people find these techniques helpful. However, the most effective way to support hair growth is
through a balanced diet, ensuring you get essential nutrients like iron,
reducing stress levels, and getting enough sleep.Additionally, make sure you're not damaging your hair with
excessive heat. Tools like hair dryers and curling irons can weaken hair,
leading to breakage and making it difficult to grow long and healthy.
