Hi, I have been dealing with hair loss now ever since I went into menopause. My scalp is flaky, itchy and sensitive to the touch in some areas of my scalp. My derm prescribed an anti-fungal shampoo called Ketonazole. This dried out and damaged my hair even worse then when I started. Would I be able to use the folligen products? Which ones would be for me?

Just start the Folligen lightly. You can dilute it with water the help application.

You should also take supplements for hair such as MSM.

This is our general advice on hair care for women.

Many hair products for women cause long term damage. Many hair experts
think that women's hair was healthier 100 years ago. Old photographs
often show women in the 60s with hair down to their shoulders or their
waist.

Skin Rejuvenating Copper Peptides often improve scalp and hair health.

This may help.

1.If your scalp is irritated, then to calm your scalp and help hair
growth, the best would be to use the Emu Oil for Hair on your scalp in
the morning and Folligen Lotion at night in denser hair areas and
Folligen Cream on hairlines. Start with a very light amount of each.
You do not need to wash it out in the morning.

2. If there is no irritation, then use Folligen Solution on your scalp
- a small amount. Let it dry a little, then apply a light amount of
Emu Oil-S for Hair. You do not need to wash it out in the morning.

3. If you have very blonde hair, then use Folligen for Blondes. This is
a new lotion based on tin-peptides but most reports are very positive.

4. Also take daily supplements of MSM - 2 to 4 grams - and 1 gram each
of flaxseed oil and borage oil.

5. To increase your hair's natural pigmentation, take an additional 2
mgs of copper daily. Hair pigments are made from the amino acid
tyrosine by a copper-dependent enzyme call tyrosinase and copper is
often in short supply in the human body.

6. Always use a minimum of shampoo and conditioner. Folligen Shampoo
and Folligen Conditioner are very mild shampoos that help thicken and
keep more moisture on the hair shafts.

7. Keep heat off your head - blow dryers can boil follicles.

8. Stress can cause hair loss. Blood cortisol levels are raised and
this inhibits skin repair. Often taking a daily supplement of 75 to
100 mgs of DHEA for a few months will block the damaging actions of
cortisol.

9. Tight bindings, buns, braids, and so on, can cause hair loss. Keep
your hair loose and fluffy.

10. Sometimes new hair growth can push out older hair shafts and there may be a brief period of hair shedding as the new hair shafts push out the old dormant hair shafts. Old, non-growing hair is held in the hair follicle for about four months before falling out.
