Dry Hair After Using Henna To Cover Grey Hair. Will Ultiderm Lotion For Scalp Help Condition And Protect Hair?

Hi,

I am 26years old. I have 25-30 grey hair. My hair is dry as I apply Heena to color my grey hair. Some one have suggested my to use Ultiderm Lotion for the scalp.

Using this medicine would help conditioning and shinning my hair and protect hair loss?

If not, then please suggest a medicine for my hair for the above concern.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi. Ultiderm lotion contains fluocinolone acetonide, which is a topical steroid and isused for scalp conditions like dandruff(seborrheic dermatitis), psoriasis etc. It is not used for dry hair. It will help in hair loss if you have dandruff(seborrheic dermatitis) otherwise not.
In your case i would advice that you use a gentle shampoo and a good conditioner for dry, frizzy hair.
Take a biotin supplement for hair fall too, specially the one which contains therapeutic dosage of calcium pantothenate(200 mg twice daily), which might also help to prevent further premature greying of hair. thats it.
take care
