learn Lavender

Is lavender effective for hormonal hair loss or just stress? No study has tested lavender for stress-related or hormonal hair loss in people; the hair-growth evidence is one mouse study. Case reports link lavender products to breast growth in children, so keep them away from children.

learn Bicalutamide

Some dermatologists prescribe bicalutamide off-label for female pattern hair loss, although its US label says it should not be used in women; the one randomised trial found no added benefit over oral minoxidil. The label warns of severe and fatal liver injury, requiring liver blood tests, and the drug must not be used in pregnancy.

learn Estradiol

Can Estradiol cause side effects in people without a hormonal imbalance? Estradiol can cause side effects even in hormonally balanced individuals.

learn Vitamin B6
