    TLDR Healthy scalp reduces hair loss by managing oxidative stress.
    The document discussed the interdependent relationship between scalp condition and hair growth, emphasizing the role of oxidative stress in premature hair loss. It highlighted that oxidative stress, exacerbated by the scalp commensal organism Malassezia, impacts hair before it emerges. The use of hair care products containing Malassezia inhibitory agents, like zinc pyrithione, was recommended to reduce premature hair loss and should be included in hair loss treatment regimens, even for those without visible scalp pathologies.
