    GlossarySensitive Scalp

    condition where scalp becomes easily irritated or painful

    Sensitive Scalp, also known as Scalp Sensitivity or Scalp Tenderness, refers to a condition where the scalp becomes easily irritated or painful. This can be due to various factors such as skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis, eczema), allergic reactions to hair products, environmental factors, or even stress. Symptoms may include itching, burning, redness, and discomfort when touching or brushing the hair. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment and management.

      community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  255 upvotes 1 month ago
      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.
