Dry Scalp Contributing to Hair Loss? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

I notice my hair has been thinning quite quickly the past few months and my scalp has been awfully dry which I’m sure is a contributing factor. When my hair falls out I can usually see the “roots or follicles” at the end. I have taken notice of your responses regarding alcohol and hair loss. While I usually over indulge on the weekends, I wouldn’t call myself an alcoholic.

My main question is, I am taking Milk Thistle supplements to try and maintain healthy liver function, but if I were to start taking Zinc and Gingko Biloba supplements, do you have any knowledge of these helping? Thank you much!

If you have a zinc deficiency then taking zinc supplements might be helpful. Otherwise, zinc and ginkgo biloba are used in some hair products to promote healthier hair, but they won’t stop genetic hair loss if that is what you are experiencing. Also, a dry scalp will not likely accelerate your hair loss.
