Avatar m tn I am 28 years old male. I have itchy scalp because of dandruff and my hair looks dry and damaged. One year ago I had good volume of hair but currently I had lost more hair reason because of dandruff. I feel very embarrassed. I was using coconut oil for my hair from my childhood and was still using it. But from one week I stopped using oil because when I use it now my hair look less and to hide it I don't use it. When I don't use oil my hair looks more.

Avatar f tn You can treat flaking and dryness with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. Shampoo the hair vigorously and frequently (preferably daily). Active ingredients in these shampoos include salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium. But if your hair is colored, don't use products with selenium sulfide or sulfur. If the symptoms persist, then it would be best to get it confirmed from a dermatologist. Eat a healthy diet.
Avatar f tn m going off of what I vaguely remember lol. There are 3 causes for dandruff dry scalp, oily scalp, and a fungus. The condition of your scalp is what is going to tell u which treatment to use. One remedy is ad easy as shampooing everyday and using less conditioner on your scalp. You should also try using a clarifying shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner.
Avatar f tn There may be other causes of hair fall such as, age, thyroid problems, diabetes or lupus. Other causes are a low protein diet, a family history or poor nutrition. Drugs such for chemotherapy may also cause this. Each of these cause may need further evaluation as to the probability of the causation. A dermatologist may be able to help you further. let me know if you may need more information.

For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar f tn For those of you who are concerned about hair loss, I have found a simple tool that has shown to cut down on hair breakage. When in bed which is alot, I wear a satin hair cover. I also found cheap satin pillowcases online. Rubbing your hair on cotton or anything causes more stress on the hair and breakage. I started using a wig about 2 weeks before treatment so I don't have to brush my hair, color it, style it. I do work.
Avatar n tn You can also take vit B6 and vit A and E which are good for hair and skin. Try medicated shampoos for dandruff. There are a number of over-the-counter shampoos available that can help. The most effective ingredients -- antimicrobials -- to look for are zinc pyridinethione, selenium sulfide, sulfur and ketoconazole (also available by prescription). If your hair is colored, don't use products with selenium sulfide or sulfur.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am 22 years old and am facing hair breakage since 4-5 months.I generally lose hair whenever I take Head Bath and not while combing. I lose on an average about 30-35 hair whenever I take Head bath which is a real matter of concern to me.I did meet a dermatologist regarding this, who advised me to take " H-VIT " tablets for a period of 3 months.
Avatar m tn I also have lots of dandruff from wearing a hat. can dandruff cause temporary hair loss? and is head and shoulders shampoo good or bad for the hair.
Avatar m tn com/dermatology/what-causes-hair-loss-after-permanent-hair-dyeing There big advice is to do as little as possible to the hair during this time. As little brushing, combing, dying, styling, etc. as possible. Hang in there. (hats are also cool right now . . .
