Nizoral 1% or 2% every 2nd or third wash - ie 2 or 3 times a week.
In USA I think you will need a prescription. In Australia - just go to the Chemist (drugstore to those in USA haha).
As PCOS changes your hormones ie increases insulin, - making your free testosterone increase which affects skin and hair (sometimes your general levels of Testosterone stay the same so testing at doctor is of no benefit he will usually say oh its normal... the free on is the one that counts)... making some women have greasey hair and acne....taking metformin and eating low GI and exercising can help.
Unfortuantely for PCOS women with the hair loss gene - it can trigger AGA androgenetic alopecia - which just means hairloss similar to a mans... it never gets as bad as a man but many PCOS with the hairloss gene get premature thinning of their hair (I am one of them).
Genetics is complex but if you have a balding , father,brother grandfather you may have the gene.. then again you may not... by the mid to late 20's if you have PCOS and you haven't had any significant hairloss you are usually safe.... May women with thick heads of hair have the hairloss gene but don't have PCOS so the gene is masked and never revealed.
I used to have VERY VERY thick wiry hair and when PCOS kicked in about age 29 30 - I lost alot of hair and still do... my hair is alot thinner than it used to be.
Anyway I am rambling we were talking about greasy hair and dandruff... try the Nizoral - its very very good in preventing dandruff, stopping the itch. reducing greasyness and for those who are losing hair due to PCOS....it is used by most of the women on the Heralopecia website and can slow hairloss too. |
