Are you experiencing dandruff from using minoxidil?
Minoxidil, also known as Rogaine, is an effective topical treatment for hair loss.
Minoxidil is thought to work by enlarging hair follicles, promoting healthy blood flow and elongating the growth phase of hair.
Minoxidil comes in either a 2% or 5% concentration.
The foam or liquid is applied to affected areas twice per day in the morning and evening.
Several randomized controlled trials have verified that minoxidil helps stop hair loss and in some people promote hair regrowth, especially the 5% concentration.
Unfortunately, with consistent use, minoxidil can cause dandruff and a dry scalp due to its alcohol-base and the need to apply it twice a day.
No specific studies have been done on whether foam or liquid causes more dandruff, but there are anecdotal reports online that claim foam causes less.
To treat dandruff caused by minoxidil treatments, you can start by trying an anti-dandruff shampoo.
Be sure to leave the application of minoxidil on your scalp as per the instructions prior to washing your hair.
After applying your minoxidil solution, we recommend avoiding using a hairdryer, as this can cause your hair to become dry and brittle.
Keep in mind that if you’re experiencing severe itching and redness on your scalp, it may be best to stop using minoxidil.
Do not use excessive amounts of minoxidil, as more isn’t always better.
Low-level laser therapy is another hair loss treatment option that is typically safe to use with topical hair growth treatments like Minoxidil.
RedRestore’s laser cap uses clinically proven wavelengths of red and near-infrared light which help to improve follicle health, increase blood flow and combat the negative hair effects of DHT.
If you’re still concerned about dandruff, you could stop using Minoxidil and opt for laser therapy as a non-invasive stand alone treatment.
