Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are having male pattern hair loss and dandruff.

We can improve your hairline. We have US FDA approved medications like minoxidil andfinasteride for it but you need to take it for a long time as we cannot cure the genetic problem but can halt the process.

Wash your hair with an anti dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole 2% and ZPTO 1% thrice a week. It is better to avoid oil. If you want to apply oil for conditioning effect apply it half an hour before bath and wash it off with a mild shampoo during bath.

Eat a balanced diet with proteins , fruits and green leafy vegetables.

Once you start treatment your heavy fall will decrease. Give at least 3 months time for the medication to show any result.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
