Today I'm sharing my complete hair loss and thinning hair routine as a 46-year-old dermatologist, including everything I do for scalp health, hair growth, and stronger, thicker hair. If you are dealing with hair loss, a receding hairline, or thinning hair and want real dermatologist-backed haircare tips, this one is for you.
I've been getting so many nice comments about my hair lately, and it means the world to me because it has taken real consistency to get this density and shine, especially as a busy mom and professional. I get candid about noticing my hairline change and my scalp becoming more visible about a year and a half ago, and why thick-haired people are often dismissed when they say their hair is thinning.
I break down exactly how often I wash my hair, my two-step shampoo method for scalp health, how I use conditioner, my drying and heat-protectant rules, and how I style my hair day to day. I also share my experience with topical Rogaine versus oral low-dose minoxidil, hair serums, red light therapy, hair supplements, nutrition, and how coloring and cutting choices play into hair health.
