Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.

I've been dealing with this really annoying itch on my scalp for over 1520 days now. I've tried dandruff shampoos and even mixed tea tree oil with coconut oil, but nothing seems to help. There's definitely no lice or dandruff, and thankfully, my hair isn't falling out in clumps or anything, just the usual few strands. I'm starting to think this all began after I used a certain type of mehndi on my hair. Could that be the cause? What should I do next?

I've been told to start using MX 5 solution every night for my hair fall issue, but I'm confused because I read online that it's meant for men only. Is that true? And I've also come across some info about potential side effects like weight gain. Is that something I should be concerned about?

Minoxidil 5% solution is commonly used for hair loss in both men and women. It is not exclusively for men. As for side effects, weight gain is not a common side effect of minoxidil. The most common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, and unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
