Maintaining a healthy scalp and good haircare practices, including shampooing, conditioning, and limited heat styling, were crucial for patients with hair loss. Creating the illusion of volume or using camouflaging agents could benefit these patients. However, risks included hair breakage, contact dermatitis, folliculitis, and traction alopecia. Effective patient-physician communication and education were essential for successful treatment and patient satisfaction.
