Totally get where you’re coming from. At 17, seeing a receding hairline and thinning can feel overwhelming — especially when it hits your confidence hard. You're smart for doing your research and thinking it through instead of just buying into overpriced treatments. Lipogaine is a solid pick...

Yeah, it’s frustrating when people say it’s just about eating right and staying fit. That stuff helps your overall health, sure, but hair loss is way more complex. You can do everything “right” and still see your hair thinning, while others with terrible habits keep a full head. If you're...

Yes, seborrheic dermatitis can cause temporary hair loss. The inflammation and itching can damage hair follicles, especially if there’s frequent scratching or irritation. It doesn’t cause permanent hair loss on its own, and treating the condition (with medicated shampoos, antifungals, etc.)...
