Effective treatments (herbal and hair regrowth serum) for oily scalp and thinning hair

[jack2021]

Hello Friends,

Some background about me: I am in my early 40s. I am slightly over-weight and almost 5.10Ft in height. I recently have been given a clean bill of health based on my recent medical exam. I live and work in Asia. I have noticed in recent years that the hair on my crown has been growing shorter in length and i have noticed thinning in my frontal forehead areas and temples.

I have visited several hair loss specialists in my home city. All of them have used a mechanic microscope to examine the conditions of my scalp at 200x times (I have attached pictures for your reference).

All have diagnosed my stage of hair loss at at Stage 3A or 3V and all of said I am not a candidate for Hair Transplant, not yet at least.

From examining my scalp, they have found my scalp is oily and the pores are blocked or clogged from oily sebum secretions mixed with sweat, air pollutants, etc. The blocked or clogged pores are stunting any further hair follicle growth at the scalp surface. They recommended I should consider using targeted shampoo and conditioner products that targets and cleans my oily scalp that removes all impurities and nourishes my scalp with much needed vitamins, natural extracts and stimulants to stimulate healthy hair follicle regrowth that is sustainable. The specialists also noticed some of my hair pores have been closed and that they postulated that the hair bulbs are intact but the hair follicles are dormant underneath the pores or skins. The specialists recommended I should use targeted hair growth serums that stimulates the dormant hair follicles to wake up and regrow.

The specialists did not recommend me which products I should use as they explained there are many in the marketplace and that I should conduct my own research.

I have researched using Amazon and shortlisted various products that I could consider (also attached to this post)

Can anyone guide me which products I should short-select in the near term top begin using, bearing in mind the exact type of natural extracts or ingredients I need to target the issues for my scalp and to stimulate the dormant hair follicles and existing follicles for new hair growth going forward?

Thanks

Jack

Since your specialists didn't recommend specific products, it might be helpful to look for shampoos and conditioners that are formulated for oily scalps and contain natural extracts like tea tree oil, peppermint, or eucalyptus to help cleanse and balance the scalp.

For hair growth serums, look for ingredients like minoxidil or caffeine, which are known to stimulate hair follicles and promote regrowth. It's also a good idea to check reviews and see what has worked well for others with similar concerns.I recently learned about how to fix too much protein in hair, and it made me realize the importance of using the right products for your specific hair needs. It's all about finding what works best for you.

Herbal Remedies:

• Consider these with caution: While some herbal remedies are touted for hair loss and scalp health, scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness is often limited. Additionally, some herbs can interact with medications or have side effects.
• Consultation is Key: It's advisable to consult a doctor or dermatologist before using any herbal remedies, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.

Hair Regrowth Serums:

• Minoxidil: This is a topical medication clinically proven to slow down hair loss and potentially stimulate some regrowth. It's available over the counter and comes in various strengths. Be patient, as results can take several months to become noticeable.
• Consult a Doctor: While minoxidil is generally safe, it's recommended to consult a doctor before using it, especially if you have any scalp conditions or are taking other medications.

Lifestyle & Scalp Care:

• Diet: Maintaining a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and protein can contribute to overall hair health. Deficiencies in certain nutrients can be linked to hair loss.
• Stress Management: Chronic stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle. Techniques like meditation, yoga, or exercise can help manage stress and potentially benefit hair health indirectly.
• Scalp Cleansing: Regularly cleanse your scalp with a gentle shampoo formulated for oily hair. Avoid harsh shampoos that can strip the scalp of natural oils, potentially leading to increased oil production.
• Conditioning: Use a lightweight conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair to prevent dryness and breakage. Avoid applying conditioner directly to the scalp, as it can contribute to oiliness.
• Scalp Massage: Regular gentle scalp massages can improve blood circulation to the scalp, which might benefit hair health.
