community Don't discount diet for the sake of scalp health. Meds had no effect for 2+ years. 3.5 months since new diet / Shampoo routine.
Diet and specific shampoo improved scalp health and hair regrowth for someone with seborrheic dermatitis, while medications like Minoxidil and finasteride had no effect. A low-sugar, keto diet was key to their success.
community Back again with a 17 month update. (Fin/Min doing the heavy lifting, occasional 0.5mm microneedling, and Nizoral for scalp health) - Angles are not identical but whatever - Expecting and hoping to be back to pre-hairloss hairline within 6 months from now.

community Lost 65% of hair last 3 years. No regrowth. Also have Seborrheic Dermatitis flare ups. Diagnosed by derm as "alopecia". Started taking 2 supplements I researched and 0 flare up for over 2 months. New hair growing. Scalp healthy. Everything else has stayed the same! Overjoyed is an understatement!!

community LPT: If your scalp is greasy, itchy, you have flakes and other crud, get a Psoriasis shampoo
Psoriasis shampoo with salicylic acid can improve scalp health and hair quality better than Nizoral. It helps create a cleaner environment for hair growth, especially when using treatments like finasteride.
