Why don't u visit to a dermatologist?

I feel you girl🥲how often do you wash it though

Thank you! I am recording one now so it will be up very son :)

Hi Alena! Really happy you are here! :) I will for sure show some before and after although I was a bit too depressed to take many pictures during that time of my life so I made sure I wasn't photographed too often :/ Now I kind of regret it but in the meantime you can check some pictures and comparisons on my instagram :)

its coming up very soon! :)

Thank you! Yes, there will be a video about SD very soon! I have a few videos already filmed about other topics that I need to release next, but the one about SD is definitely coming soon :)

Thank you so much Jennifer! Dont you worry, stay tuned for more and I promise we'll find answers for your problem together!

Same here! Been avoiding hair washing (have also listened too much to the “no poo (shampoo)” movement. I’ve been washing my hair more frequently since stumbling over this page, and although I still shed a lot of hair, it definitely looks better (and my scalp doesn’t itch half as much). Thank you!

Great news! Glad youre making progress, well done! 💪👏

With ointments it is really all up to the vehicle/Carrier the active ingredient is suspended in. Ointments are usually meant for the body therefore the carrier is most likely something thick that helps the ointment stay where you put it. Very often its vaseline (Petroleum). While that is a good choice for the body , its a terrible choice for the scalp because vaseline is a nightmare to wash out from in between the hair and will most likely clog up the folicles. Check the main ingredient of that ointment to see what consistency it is. I do have a trusted brand for professional trichological SD products - See if you can access brand Mediceuticals. If you can, then i can recommend you a specific set. (they do have SLS in them so I dont know whether you'd still be interested in trying, but they are very moisturizing to the scalp anyway).

@@HairSciencePro thanks! 😊 Yes please, I’d love to give it a go (I can order on Amazon).

The one you should use is called Mediceuticals For Scalp Dandruff Heres instructions on how to use it: 1. Before you wash your hair use Therarx (the one with red nossle) and apply on the scalp only. You dont need a lot just enough to cover the Head. Wait 5-10 mins. 2.Wash your hair and scalp with shampoo X-Folate TWICE. The second time you wash it, leave the shampoo for 3-5 minutes, the longer the better. 3.Wash out the shampoo and apply the conditioner Therapeutic. Apply it only on your scalp not the hair. It is meant to be used on hair too but since it is formulated for the scalp (and not the cheapest) its better to save it Just for scalp use and use another conditioner on the hair lenght if you wish (Just a practical advice). Leave in on your scalp for 3-5mins. Then wash out. You may feel a cooling sensation - it is because it contains menthol that gives it the cooling effect so its completely normal. In the beginning when your scalp is iritated this cooling sensation might be quite strong but as your scalp heals it will become more and more gentle. Wash your hair with this routine everyday for the first month. Then you can See if you can push it to every other day if you wish and still get the same results. If the condition gets worse then return to every day use. You really shouldnt push it more than every other day with SD. All 3 products have mild exfoliators so they will clean your scalp but they are gentle enough for every day use. Additionally the conditioner has tons of great anti hair loss ingredients and its very moisturizing to the scalp. And Just for a disclaimer: i dont work with this company, they dont even know about my existance, i Just really recommend their products because its the Best stuff Ive ever used for SD :) Id be EXTREMELY surprised if that didnt improve your scalp.

@@HairSciencePro thank you so much for advice and suggestions !! I will try to find this and have a go ☺️. I must say just two washes with a simple salicylic acid shampoo I found at the chemist (although w sls) has already improved the state of my scalp, not itching as much. Thanks!! ❤️

Thank you stina! ♥️Im glad you find them helpful! I have two videos about blood tests coming up really soon so you may find them useful too. One is about necessary blood tests and second about the right interpretation of results because its very common that Trichologists and even doctors read them wrong (lab norm ranges do not often indicate the actual "norm").

@@HairSciencePro I will definitely check them out!! Thank you!!❤️ I only recently found out that my low ferritin levels needed boosting (even though they’re in range). But I’m so disappointed that no one seems to take this problem seriously. Just because hair isn’t a vital organ doesn’t mean this problem does no harm. I’ve gone from a full head of hair to - rat tail in a few years 😳. Highly distressing!! One doc told me that ‘as you’re a Caucasian woman, at least you’ll never go entirely bald’. Not much comfort I’d say!

Thank you Jennifer! Im super glad you found me too! :) ♥️ your words are very encouraging!

No, it's not the same - piroctone olamide is used more often in regular dandruff shampoos. It's helpful but in my experience SD is pretty stubborn therefore it may not be as effective.

Hi! SD might also be the cause of your hair loss. It doesn't really matter how much build up there is, if it's sore, that means there's inflamation that you should definitely try to calm down. Healthy scalp is the first step to stopping any hair loss. You can use essential oils on your scalp (however in my experience sweet flag/calamus oil works much better for SD) but it is more important to exfoliate your scalp and wash it often with a shampoo that contains mild exfoliator (salicylic, lactic or ascorbic acid) and anti-fungal and antibacterial ingredients (zinc pyrithione). It is also great if it contains menthol as it calms down inflamation beautifly and relieves itching. <3

Thanks for your reply! I’ve got a shampoo with ketoconazol, but I’ll also look for one with zink pyrithone and menthol. Recently, I’ve been trying to add more days between my washes so my hair doesn’t grease up so quickly, and I’ve finally managed to not wash more than every 4-5 days - you mean this isn’t a good approach, that I ought to wash it more frequently with the exfoliating stuff? (All my shampoos all sulphate free).

Ketoconazol is a bit too harsh for regular use. With SD it is much more effective if you use mild exfoliator but very often and regularly than something strong once a week. With all my SD patients (and myself) I stick to the rule of washing scalp every day or at the very maximum every other day. It doesnt really matter if your hair looks greasy or not, it is more important how your scalp feels and what is going on on the surfice. With SD ,as there is usually an excess of sebum and flakes, it is important to remove both from the scalp as soon as possible because bacteria and fungus feed on them and will very quickly going to cause an inflamation causing even more sebum and more flakes. My next video is going to be about different topic but I do mention SD briefly in there so you may look out for that as well :)

For seborrheic dermatitis I highly recommend using a shampoo that contains some sort of mild acid (exfoliator) and use it daily or every other day at maximum. It is important to gently exfoliate the skin on a consistent and frequent basis so the flakes dont build up. You can look for a medicated shampoo that contains salicylic , lactic or ascorbic acid - I use Mediceuticals X-folate . You can also use an enzymatic scalp peel once a week that contains the same acids but in higher concentration. For male pattern baldness I use topical medications based on Alfatradiol - it's absolutely the best thing I discovered and I put my husband on it too. Highly recommend, in most people it works very quickly and efficiently. I will be making a very detailed video about both conditions and how to resolve them so I encourage you to subscribe to make sure you dont miss out :) I hope you can stay for longer and that I will be able to help you resolve your issues! <3

@@HairSciencePro can i use alcohol free minoxidil after treating my sd ?

You can, although I really don't like to use it - mainly because it has a "shedding phase" which means it gets worse before it gets better and then if you stop using theres another shedding phase which is a lot worse than the first one. If you have to pick between the two - I would always chose Alfatradiol over Minoxidil every time.

Hi again, been searching scalp peels all over but can’t seem to find any that delivers to where I am! Can I make my own?? Or use enzymatic peel meant for the face (assume not)?

you should look for something that contains either salicylic, lactic or ascorbic acid. It's better not to DIY enzymatic peels as you dont have full control over the concentration and PH level in at home conditions - better be safe than sorry :) There are some dermatological enzymatic peels used for the body that could work for scalp too but it always depends on what the ingredients list is exactly. The ones that could work for body and scalp are usually easier to find at a pharmacy rather than the drugstore.

Heyy new sub here :) Can I ask you your opinion on those LED helmets (like iRestore)?
