View allI've always thought I had good hair, but over time, I've noticed it's not as dense as it used to be. I've constantly struggled with dandruff too. In Bangalore, the water is quite hard, and we usually use borewell or tank water for bathing. I'm wondering if washing my hair with KENT purifier water, which has a TDS level of 80, could have any negative effects. Could this be a better option for my hair problems?
You can purchase and use water softeners on a bucket of water before taking bath.

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I'm trying to figure out if I should use Indulekha hair oil or minoxidil for my hair loss. I came across minoxidil online and noticed there are so many different products with that name. Which one would be more effective for my thinning hair and receding hairline? Also, do you think I should consult a dermatologist first before starting any treatment, or can I just go ahead and use one of these? I'm really worried as I notice a lot of hair falling out when I wash it. Any advice would mean a lot.
For hair loss, Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a clinically proven treatment, while Indulekha hair oil is a herbal supplement with limited scientific evidence; consider consulting a dermatologist before starting any treatment, as they can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss and recommend the best course of treatment.
