Scalp Scaling Using Aroma Oil To Improve Hair And Scalp Conditions

A user asked if applying oil (olive, coconut, etc.) to the scalp for dryness and hair loss is effective, as recommended by a dermatologist. They expressed doubt about the advice and sought opinions on its usefulness.

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of natural remedies like scalp massages and oils for hair loss, with some users advocating for proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride. The original poster prefers natural methods, while others argue that pharmaceuticals are more effective in combating hair loss.

The user shares their hair loss treatment routine, which includes topical minoxidil, botana oil, coconut moisturizer, derma stamping, derma rolling, 3% salicylic acid shampoo, and scalp massage. Suggestions include adding finasteride, switching to 2% ketoconazole shampoo, and using rosemary oil instead of botana oil.

Scalp hydration may influence hair growth by affecting the signaling pathways that control the hair growth cycle. Users suggest using facial moisturizer, aloe vera, and oils for scalp hydration.

The user is already using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss and is considering oils with rosemary, mint, batana, and caffeine for post-shampoo application. MCT oil is recommended for hydration and dandruff prevention.

Using a mix of castor, rosemary, and peppermint oils may cause increased hair shedding during washing, possibly due to the need for more rigorous cleaning. The user experiences no irritation but notices more hair fall when using these oils.
