I started drinking more water, eating pumpkin seeds on a daily basis, head stands for 30 seconds everyday and sometimes fingernails yoga. Lately I started massaging my scalp. Reduced drastically junk food. Now am about to start drinking chamomile tea, applying onion juice mixed with garlic and apple cider vinegar and rosemary oil. I plan to quit using shampoos completely and wash my hair only with egg yolks. I already washes my hair two times and it feels much better.
I always wanted to have healthy hair but this goal would be hard to achieve for me. I have dandruff and oily scalp and very sensitive akin since as long as I remember. Last three months were devastating for me.
My hair would get insanely greasy just 2 days after wash. My ocipital area was painully inflamed. I still shed thin and weak hairs from the sides of my head which is scary AF.
I didn't care about my dandruff and greasy hair until it has gotten significantly worse. I moved to another city with much colder climate i hadn't got used to, I was more stressed out and I ate plenty of junk food(potato chips, dorittos,) I used to drink less than a liter of later a day. I had insomnia too and couldn't sleep.
I caught very bad flu, from which I needed three weeks to recover. After that flue all of this started.
My grandfather on father's side is 96 year old and enjoyed thick and healthy hair his whole life and still has Norwood 0 hairline with no temporal recession and still very good hair density for his age. Sadly, he couldn't pass his genes to me, I took mom's genes. She has very oily scalp and her hair is greasy all the time and sometimes flaky. I think it's my sensitive skin that makes things worse for me. I don't know which family member "gifted" it to me though.
The whole story (optional to read)
I first noticed that after bath that my hair is bristle and still greasy which was unusual. A week after I noticed that my head is itching and increased shedding. I pulled out 40 hairs combing my hair with my fingers, predominantly from the front on the left side. And then my itching and greasiness worsened. I felt like my hair is thinning and I had nightmares that I am completely bald on top.
I thought everything was fine until I noticed that my left temple is slightly recessed. I was shocked. Two weeks ago the left temple looked just like the other. I got very anxious and self conscious about it.
My mom checked my scalp and told me that I have sebboreic dermatitis. She told me to stop using head and shoulders because it is very strong and full of chemicals and we bought together medical shampoos. The medical shampoos unfortunately did very mild improvement. The shedding stopped. When I was doing my hair in the morning with fingers there were only two to six hairs. The inching and the flakes continued getting worse.
I was doing fingernails yoga like crazy but I didn't see any improvement. I checked plenty of videos and articles how to stop hair loss naturally and I decided to apply all I learned on me. Started drinking plenty of water, - still nothing. I read that pumpkin seeds are rich iron, zinc and biotin - the essential nutrients hair needs, started eating them, got addicted to them but... still nothing. And the final thing I decided to try is to stop junk food almost completely and doing head stands. Of course I continued all the other stuff. And just three days later of my first head stand i saw my temple is filling with hairs . I noticed hairs plenty of new hairs below my hairline too. I was really happy and immediately became less self conscious about this. About the itching and greasiness I tried to wash my hair with egg yolks but still no improment for the greasiness came. The good was that the itching improved and now massaging my scalp doesn't hurt anymore and can do this since. And finally I tried apple cider vinegar and it did wonders with the first application and I am hoping with great long term results. My goal for next months is to regrow my hairline and thinning spots completely, to make my hair as shiny and healthy as possible and to reduce flakes to minimum and the inching and inflammation completely.
