THE ITCH

[KEVING]

I really need help ive tried everything nearly. My head is so itchy all the time it seems. I take finasteride and use Nizoral once a week. Ive tried Tricomin and it seems to work a bit. Is there anything else i should be using, should i try emu oil???

Does this mean i'm losing my hair faster??

Please help HairLossTalk.com,totally stuck

Make sure you are using a good conditioner after each shower, that will help a lot.

I've heard the laser comb is excellent for improving scalp conditions. Mine is in the mail. Like you, nothing I've tried: t/gel, nizoral, emu oil, you name it, nothing has helped. Laser comb has gotten really good reviews for scalp help though, if you have enough money you might want to make the investment. Or wait... and i'll post how mine works on my scalp. I think there is a correlation between scalp health (itch, inflamation, etc.) and hairloss. I dont think it directly causes hairloss, but is an indication of things going on in your body that lead to male pattern baldness. If you notice most the people on this site have shitty scalp health.

I've heard that scalp itch is a side effect of male pattern baldness. But my scalp health is in excellent condition... no itching whatsoever, except maybe a little bit where I apply the minoxidil. Wonder if that means anything?

Keving: Why nizoral only once per week? Could you try twice or three times per week? (Incidentally, my scalp itch faded after about six months on finasteride. But it's important to control this during any treatment.)

My scalp itch was a lot during the inital stages of male pattern baldness in 2003..then i used a variety of shampoos and conditioners and it was reduced drastically but occasinal itch occurs..when i stareted finasteride 2 months ago,,,,it went off 90%off the time ..only once i had the itch during this 2 months

Damn itch is back, maybe some emu shampoo or tea tree oil.

 

[KEVING]

So i should just go out and try emu oil and green tea shampoo, is that the best bet??

Where will i get emu oil from??? How best do i apply it??

The shaving option

If you have a decent head shape, and don't mind the discomfort of passing a blade through your scalp, shaving your head may be a formidable remedy to your itching problems, at least until you can come up with a solution that involves a shampoo treatment or oral medicine. I usually resort to shaving about every 4 months or so, and I love it. See what suits you!

Is this the only way? Is there no shampoo/oil regimen that works??

 

[finallyhair]

there is a product that I use and it works. It's a little easier if you have shorter hair. Its a chamomile and tee tree with a little peppermint oil and amino acids. It's light like water and has just enough conditioning properties.
Won't clog pores either. Or you could just go to a really nice salon and get a spray on scalp treatment. I use one from Aveda. All work pretty good. Just apply it after you apply everything else.

Whats this product called, where can i get it?? I have longish hair i suppose, it just this itch that wouldn't go away, its worse when wet, have you every used emu oil??


What do you think??

I would hate to tell you a product that I use and later find out that it may cause something bad. If you look online under African Pride you will find a sheen spray that is pretty much all natural and cheap as hell but like I said I can only vouch for myself. Please use any scalp therapy spray from any good salon and it will work just as good. Remember all natural though.
