learn Citric Acid

Does citric acid dry out or nourish the scalp? At the low levels used to set a product's pH, citric acid neither nourishes nor meaningfully dries the scalp. Concentrated or homemade acidic mixtures can irritate it.

learn oleic acid

Can Oleic Acid help with dry or irritated scalps that lead to hair loss? Oleic acid-rich oils may feel moisturising, but oleic acid loosens the skin barrier and can trigger flaking in dandruff-prone people. No trial shows it helps scalp-related hair loss.

learn Argan oil

Argan oil: can it help if I have a dry or flaky scalp? Argan oil may help moisturise dry skin, but no controlled study has tested it for a dry or flaky scalp, so the evidence is limited. Allergic reactions to argan oil have been reported.

learn Glycerin

Is glycerin helpful for treating dry, irritated scalps that may lead to hair shedding? Glycerin improved hydration in small studies on body skin and, in one multi-ingredient lotion, on the scalp; there is no evidence it reduces hair shedding.

That pause is clinic aftercare convention, not a label instruction - ask your prescriber first, because stopping minoxidil usually causes shedding.
