I've been dealing with a really oily scalp and it's causing a lot of hair fall. It's quite concerning. Someone suggested Kevon lotion for this condition, seborrheic dermatitis. Is it really effective? Can I use it without worrying about any side effects? Would love to hear some advice!

View allI'm a 19-year-old girl and I've been using Halo shampoo every day. Should I be worried about any side effects from using it that often?
Using Halo shampoo on a daily basis should generally be safe for most people. However, frequent use of any shampoo can potentially lead to dryness or irritation of the scalp and hair. It is recommended to use a mild shampoo and to consider incorporating a conditioner to prevent dryness and maintain the health of your hair. If you experience any scalp irritation or other unusual symptoms, you may consider reducing the frequency of shampooing or trying a different product.

I'm really confused about the difference between hair tincture and minoxidil. I've been dealing with female pattern hair loss and want to make sure I'm using the right treatment. Can you help me understand how these two are different and which might be more effective for my situation?
Hair tincture and minoxidil are two different hair growth treatments. Here's a comparison: Hair Tincture 1. Natural ingredients: Typically contains herbal extracts, essential oils, and other natural ingredients. 2. Mechanism: Stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting a healthy scalp environment. 3. Application: Usually applied topically, massaged into the scalp, and left on for a specified time. 4. Effectiveness: Varies depending on the individual and the specific tincture formula. Some users report improved hair growth, while others may not see significant results. Minoxidil 1. Active ingredient: Minoxidil is the primary active ingredient, available in 2% or 5% concentrations. 2. Mechanism: Widens blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the scalp, and prolongs the anagen phase (active growth phase) of hair growth. 3. Application: Applied topically, directly to the scalp, typically twice a day. 4. Effectiveness: Clinically proven to promote hair growth, slow down hair loss, and improve hair density. Key differences 1. Natural vs. pharmaceutical: Hair tincture is typically natural, while minoxidil is a pharmaceutical ingredient. 2. Mechanism of action: Hair tincture stimulates hair growth through improved blood flow and scalp health, while minoxidil works by widening blood vessels and prolonging the anagen phase. 3. Effectiveness: Minoxidil has more clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness for hair growth, while hair tincture results vary depending on the individual and formula. For female pattern hair loss, minoxidil (2% or 5% concentration) is a more established treatment option. However, some hair tinctures may also be beneficial. Consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.
