Tips for dry hair with hairfall after minoxidil in young men – Dr. Nischal K

Minoxidil based dryness and hair fall is a major issue and it is more often because of the vehicle in which the minoxidil is dissolved. So most often alcohol based minoxidil preparations can give you a lot of dryness and that will give you hair fall. So one way of avoiding this is simply you switch to a nonalcoholic formulation of minoxidil. Second thing is if you are no able to switch, you are more adjusted to that and the results are more good with that, then in those situations, you need to keep the hair soft. In that situation, what you can do is you apply minoxidil solution. After half an hour or one hour, you apply any oil to the scalp. Rather than to the scalp, rather to the hair. Oil helps to hydrate the hair. It will retain the moisture. Whenever people have dandruff and people have dry hair, they are not supposed to oil the hair. In people who have dandruff, the dandruff tends to increase. In these situations, they have to go for conditioners. Second thing is better to use mild shampoos. There are several shampoos in the market to pick up or your dermatologist can help you in choosing one for you and better to go for a mild shampoo. Other things are conditioners are very handy when the hairs are dry. They just act like moisturizers, like how we use for the skin. So these conditioners come in two ways. One is a wash off conditioner and one is a livon conditioner. Wash off conditioner has to applied after shampooing the hair, we keep it for 2 minutes, then we wash it off. Whereas livon conditioner has to be applied once you are out of the washroom, when the hair is little bit damp, take the conditioner and apply it, leave it and then you comb. Normally there is certain hair serums which contains several hydrating agents like olives make the hairs soft . So these serums are used after bath. When the hairs are damp, you take it superficially and then you comb. So that keeps your hair soft and manageable.
