I have also dealt with hair loss so I can understand the feelings behind it. I found using shampoos and conditioners with peppermint and tea tree oil helped. I also used olive oil, jojoba oil, babassu oil, mango butter and kokoum butter and massaged it into my scalp. I took hair vitamins with extra biotin, as well as getting triamcinolone acetide from my dermatologist. It’ll take some time to take effect but I have a full head of hair again. Hope these things can help you as well 😁
If taking methotrexate, it is critical that a person take folate. If your doctor doesn’t order that, too, ask about it. That influences hair loss.
Also when I was losing my hair by the hands full, my dermatologist had me take Viviscal along with Biotin. I was to take it for six months. Viviscal is a vitamin supplement. Though I continue to take the Biotin and I have only repeated the Viviscal when myself losing hair excessively.
Viviscal is rather expensive and can be found at most drug stores but I found it to be cheapest at Amazon.
The combo helped me immensely. My hair ultimately grew back and I now have a full head of hair. Of course, I still have lupus so I still lose some hair and that’s why I still take Biotin. It seems to help me keep up with the loss.
