Hi Please Doctor can you help me. I am a male 27yrs old. 2yrs ago i used a french shampoo which contained silicon. i do not wish to name the brand or company cause i dont know the legal implications. I had nothin wrong with my hair but it always used to be a bit dry after bathing so i decided to use this shampoo to try help it. I really regret using it now my hair is no longer thick and it keeps fallin out. 2yrs have passed now and i hoped it would stop but it seems to slowly be gettin worse. I know they say if something is not broke dont try to fix it and i really regret it now. Is there anything i can do to stop this and why do they let companies sell these things when they dont work and only make things worse. The shampoo said for all hair types and and no side affects please help me.

I doubt that a commercially available shampoo will cause hair loss. Instead, what you may be noticing is coincidental circumstance. Your hair loss may be due to genetic causes.

I’m receding and using certain supplements to control it, with some amount of success.

However, I seem to be growing lots and lots of thin, dry hair. What are the best foods to make my hair thicker and give it more moisture.
Many thanks

I do not believe that there is a one to one connection between certain foods and hair thickness or growth rate, provided that you are eating a healthy diet. The body is a wonderful regulator of growth. With that said, there are many articles that say otherwise and many products being sold that promote better hair growth through nutritional supplements.

My sister-in-law has a one year old daughter. She was born with a head full of hair and she combed her hair everyday like she was supposed to and greased it. She used rubber bands to put braids on her hair and now all of a sudden at the top of the child’s head her hair has come out in big hunks, but just in that one section. So we took her to the doctor and he said it was a head fungus. It looks like big puss bumps and then they bust open by themselves and the puss and blood come out of them. The doctor gave her two types of medication for the fungus and a hair shampoo and he told us to grease her hair with vaseline everyday. But I was told by someone that I could mix Monostat Seven and vitamin E oil together to help it and it would make her hair grow back healthy and even thicker this time. Is this true or do you all have any other suggestions that you could tell me. She now has to wear hats everyday with her hair all down and vaseline on her scalp daily. Please help us if you can.

Treatment of scalp fungus could take a long time and even after treating it, you need to wait a few months for the hair follicles to generate new hair. My recommendation to you is to stick to the recommendation and treatment plan of your dermatologist.

My hair is dry so I shampoo and condition once a week and spray in a condtioner everyday. Is it possible that my routine could cause a build up and prevent hair regrowth?

While I doubt your hair washing regimen is preventing hair growth or promoting hair loss, there may be a hygiene issue. There are no topical shampoos, conditioners, or medications (other than minoxidil) that are proven to grow hair.
