My hair looks frizzy all the time, and by the 2nd day after washing, it becomes really rough and stiff. 😭 I’m also wondering if my hairline is receding or if the roughness is mainly because of dry/damaged ends.

My current routine is: oiling overnight → shampoo → conditioner → hair mask for 15–20 minutes → serum.

Is there anything else I should add to my routine? And do you think I should get a trim to remove the dry ends? Any advice would be really helpful!

my doctor prescribed me Tugain f+5 topical solution..it costs over 700 so i bought this substitute from truemeds yestrdy. Moregro f5 solution. has the similar compositions 5% minoxidil and 0.1% finasteride and cost around 400 (with coupons)

So I just want to know if it is safe to use..if anyone here tried, pls let me knw. thanks.

Spa essence hair mask - I purchased this hair mask in June and I got this because it was for dry hair honestly I have used other hair masks in past. But this one is also for damaged hair so imo this is working for me

Inde wild growth serum - Got this last month and I use this overnight.. I apply this on my clean scalp and massage for 2-3 minutes and tbh my scalp was v dry a month ago it is actually getting better so i am thinking to continue using this

Loreal Shampoo - My first expensive shampoo purchase hehe I have finally upgraded from head &. shoulders I like the texture of this

as a 2nd year college student i wanted my waves to look good everyday and i know sometimes becoz of humidity the hair do get frizzy but i deserve some “you look pretty” days too right ?? lol

so i searched a lot on reddit about a good haircare routine and i wont say i tried too many products cuzz i am always tight on budget lol. i really needed some particular products for my haircare routine.

Here is myy haircare routine (with the products)

1. so i wash my hair 2x a week - loreal hyaluronic shampoo and conditioner

2. then i apply hair mask once a week - moxie deep dive hair mask

3. then i detangle them in the shower.

4. applied leave in conditioner on sopping wet hair and scrunched it a bit - moxie leave in

5. i apply hair serum (very optional) - tresemme hair serum

6. then i use a styling gel, scrunched again, and let it air dry - moxie styling gel

i kept it pretty basic and followed the suggestions to avoid doing too much at once. definitely going to keep experimenting and figuring out what works best for my hair, but i am honestly happy with how it turned out.

Any recommendations/remedies to handle this early?

Is it good or not please tell me in comments guyzzz🤗

I’ve been dealing with hair fall for almost 6 years now and it’s starting to really bother me.

Main issues:

• Frontal hairline is receding/thinning and my scalp is visible whenever air passes through my hair.
• Constant shedding — during hair wash, while working, or even when I run my hand through my hair.
• Dandruff + a lot of itching, especially when wearing a helmet.
• Premature greying (my dad also had early greying).
• No obvious family history of male-pattern baldness.
• I see that my hair fall issue started out of no where and sudden. Strange!

Some history:
In 2020 I went through a lot of stress. In 2021 I had typhoid and then COVID a couple of months later. Hair fall became noticeable around this period and has continued since.

Lifestyle is honestly pretty bad: 😅
I sleep around 2–3 AM and wake up around noon. I eat a lot of junk food and sugar, don't exercise regularly anymore, and have been under constant stress for years. I'm vegetarian most of the time, with non-veg occasionally when eating outside. This has been going since 6 Years since that Covid piece of thing which disturbed me mentally.

I recently got blood work done:

• Vitamin D: ~9 (severely deficient)
• B12: borderline

I’ve recently started Vitamin D supplementation for 2 months.

I’m also seeing a dermatologist (the same doctor who treated my acne). Currently prescribed:

• Curlz-F (minoxidil) — twice daily, mainly on the frontal scalp
• Hair Club Ultra (Tablet) — once daily
• Shyne Soft shampoo/cleanser
• Ketorex shampoo for dandruff

I’ve also used minoxidil previously. Chekfall-F - I've been inconsistent all the time with it.

One thing I’m unsure about: I’ve fapped regularly for 10+ years. Could this have anything to do with hair fall or lower libido, or is that unrelated?

What I’m mainly looking for:
What could be contributing to this much hair fall, and what should I focus on to prevent further recession/thinning and improve overall hair health?

I know my lifestyle needs fixing, and I’m working on that. Just looking for some practical guidance from people who have dealt with something similar. 🙏

If someone wants to be blunt , Please DM. I'm looking for honest guidance here!

My conditioner just got delivered and it looks a little different than what I have seen on YouTube review videos or even online pictures, it's small and last purple instead of that bright purple shade, is it a fake product? I ordered from Amazon.

I have been experiencing dandruff for a year. And i am currently using any 5rs sacket i find which is mostly head and shoulders.

So I want your opinions and a proper routine to get rid of dandruff. Also is this shampoo works or is there any other better ones in this budget
