learn Hair Transplant

What is an FUE hair transplant? FUE hair transplant extracts individual hair follicles for a minimally invasive, natural-looking result.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Are the pigments used in scalp micropigmentation safe? Providers describe SMP pigments as safe, medical-grade and made for the scalp, but those are supplier and clinic descriptions rather than regulatory approvals: no colour additive is approved for injection into the skin, and allergic reactions to tattoo pigment are documented.

learn Ecklonia Cava

Is Ecklonia Cava safe for sensitive or irritated scalps? Ecklonia cava may irritate sensitive scalps, so patch test first.

learn Castor oil

Castor oil: Can I mix it with minoxidil or finasteride, or will they fight each other? No study has tested castor oil together with minoxidil or finasteride. Oral finasteride works systemically and is not expected to be affected, but a thick oil left on the scalp could change how much minoxidil is absorbed, so the common advice is to keep the two applications hours apart and to ask a doctor or pharmacist first.

learn Peppermint

Is it better to use peppermint alone or in combination with rosemary or lavender? No study has tested peppermint with rosemary or lavender in combination, in people or in animals, so the synergy claim is a hypothesis. Of the three, only rosemary oil has a published human trial — 100 patients over six months, where it matched 2% minoxidil on hair count — while peppermint and lavender have four-week mouse studies only.
