Big flaky dandruff

want it to know what can i do for the banps on my scalp and the big dandruffs. November 21, 2007 5:21 PM As for your big flaky dandruff issue, this is due to excessive yeast  on the scalp that causes inflammation of the hair follicles leading to dryness and large flaking of the scalp. I highly suggest medicated shampoos for this along with a scalp brush to massage and  loosen the flakes. I like Neutrogena T-Sal shampoo that has salicylic acid that helps to free up some of the scales. You can then use your fav shampoo after that to help get the remaining from your hair.. The next time you shampoo, use a different type such as Nizoral, Head & Shoulders, for example. This regime should help with the flakes as well as some of the bumps on your scalp. If this is not effective, please follow-up with your dermatologist. I hope this helps!

Dandruff at 35 years old

GG said...

I have problems w/this also...and I've tried the T-gel shampoo, but this has not relieved the problem, where I only need it once a mnth. What causes this, because I did not have this issue in highschool or college years. I have been dealing with this over the last 8yrs. I am 35.
Thanks, GG

 Hi GG,

Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis is an extremely common condition no matter what the age. It is caused by a yeast that builds up on the scalp causing inflammation of the hair follicles and dryness, itching and scaling of the scalp. Many times, if one does not wash their hair at least once a week and get hair product build up, it can  result in this issue. Because you can lose the effectiveness of one medicated shampoo, I prefer for you to switch up but it is very critical to leave on the scalp for at least 30 minutes before washing out to allow for active ingredients to absord into the scalp. You can then wash hair again with your favorite moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.  For itchy areas, you can apply some Hydrocortisone ointment over the counter twice a day. Do this process weekly until under control then once a month...Remember to always switch to different types of medicated shampoos. I am quite sure with this regime you will be dandruff-controlled!!!

Itchy Scalp/Dandruff

Anonymous- 8/27/07

I have very dry, itchy scalp and dandruff.What are... I have very dry, itchy scalp and dandruff.What are the important natural ingredients/elements for a healthy scalp and hair? I must shampoo every week and somehow it seems to be counter-productive. Please advise.


A dry, itchy scalp is called Seborrheic Dermatitis which is the medical term for dandruff...even if you do not have the flakes. I recommend Nizoral shampoo to be applied to your scalp before you wash and leave in for about 15 minutes then wash out followed by your favorite moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Do this weekly  alternating with a different medicated shampoo such as Head & Shoulders or Selsun Blue until under control then do once a month for maintenance.  It is not necessary to 'grease your scalp' as the old school of thought but do make sure to moisturize your hair daily.

Dry Shedding Hair after baby

Dr.Maclin, I listened to you a little this morning on the the Steve Harvey morning show. I was just wondering how can I stop my hair from breaking off. It's all dry and brittle.I wash it every week and when I comb my hair to style it, I always comb out a lot of hair.I just had a baby in May and I can't stop it from breaking off. I've only relaxed it once since the baby was born. What do I do? Thank you for listening! You are experiencing a quite common hair issue after having a baby called Post-partum hair shedding (a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium in which the full strand resting hairs come out drastically). The nine months of pregnancy, your hair did not shed everyday as it is supposed to. Therefore, once the hormones levels start returning to normal, the hair shedding sets in so that all those hairs that were supposed to shed, now start falling out. For this situation, I highly suggest BellaNutri which will work from within the scalp at the hair roots to decrease the hair shedding and stimulate growth. It will also help with the dry brittle hair which can cause actual hair breakage (shorter pieces). I would try to limit relaxers for now for your hair may also be overprocessed. Please keep me posted.

Tune in to the Steve Harvey Morning Show

Bald in Center-maybe Follicular Degeneration Syndrome??

Bernie said...

Hello Dr. Maclin

I had the opportunity to hear you on the Steve Harvey Morning Show for the first time. I have had a problem with hair loss for some time now. I had suffered with fibroids for many years and within the last few years my hair had been falling out. The balding is only in the center of my head. I have not been able to wear my own hair for years. Three years ago I had the fibroid urinary immobilization surgery and my hair have not grown back yet. I have sensitive skin and I have tried everything to try to get my hair to grow back, but I have been unsuccessful. On the morning show I heard you mentioned that you must get the roots working from the inside out because the folicle have shut down from the inside. What can I do to start the process of repairing the follicles on the inside?

Hi Ms. Bernie,
Thank you for listening and your support! Your center hair concern is quite common amongst women of color primarily due to a condition called Follicular Degeneration Syndrome (FDS). After gaining feedback from thousands of women of color nationwide as the Medical Director of Hair/Skin for HYPE Hair and Braids & Beauty mags since 1999,  my belief is the history of excessive and improper use of chemical hair relaxers even though the books state from years of hot pressing oils. Many of us have never pressed our hair  but have used relaxers and still have the hair thinning in the top starting as early as late teens..the true verdict is still out! You may also have excess hair shedding from potentially being iron-deficient (anemia) from  the heavy bleeding during your monthly cycle from the  fibroids. Definitely, BellaNutri will work from within the help build healthier follicles....the follicles that can respond will respond. I highly suggest to avoid any chemicals or dyes for now in an effort to maximally get your follicles restored and working again. Every hair follicle that responds to the inner nutrition, can grow 2-3 strands of hair ,so get ready to get that those follicles stimulated. Also, in general, try to avoid chemicals too early in young girls and too many times of year for all to limit killing those follicles!

BellaNutri for Men ?

blogalicious@gwu said...

Hi,
I heard about this product on the Steve Harvey morning show and I know this maybe a stupid question, but is this product used by men as well?
Contratulations on this endeavor.

August 6, 2007 6:54 AM

Thank you for your interest in BellaNutri! Actually, your question is very common and appropriate. Yes, I have tons of men using BellaNutri (for women) until BeauNutri (for men) launches in late 2007....same great natural nutrients but higher dosage. For now, the men that take BellaNutri are extremely successful with 3-4 capsules per day instead of the normal 2-3 caps that women take. Women have been ordering BellaNutri by the dozens for their husbands, boyfriends, etc. Enjoy the benefits ..start now with BellaNutri and when BeauNutri ready..make the easy switch!!!Thanks again for your support!

Bald Sides

Anonymous said...

Hello Dr. Maclin! I have noticed that I am going bold on both sides of may hair. Is there anything that you could recommend so that I could regain my hair in that area? I appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

August 4, 2007 5:45 PM

Balding of the sides of the hair is very common, especially because the hairline is the most fragile and susceptible to follicles becoming degenerated either from hereditary or hairstyles. Avoid too many tension hairstyles such as braids or tight braids and  excess chemicals (relaxers/hair dyes).  This is a situation where I would highly recommend BellaNutri  hair and skin supplement that works from within at the hair follicles to stimulate them to become healthier towards improved hair growth regardless of the underlying reason as long as there is no scarring of the area.. Be patient as it can take up to 6 months for your follicles to really regain their health .... follicles that can respond, will respond..those that do not, may have some element of scarring which is permanent.

Loc Hairstyle

Anonymous said...

 Dr. Maclin, What's your take on the locs hairstyling? The basic route of loc maintanence at a typical hairstylist is an all natural shampooing of the hair followed by the rolling of the locs with some type of all natural gel and then an excruciating session with the dome hairdryer!!! Any suggestions

August 6, 2007 10:43 AM

I am in agreement of all-natural hairstyles as long as they are not either twisted or braided too tightly which put tension on the hair roots. The high intensity heat can cause hair to dry out so make sure to put daily oil sheen/moisture back into the hair. Keep your hair roots nourished and stimulated with BellaNutri to keep your locs from thinning in an effort to keep a thick head full of healthy locs!
