Answered By: Eva Proudman
You MUST see a trichologist, there will be causative factors that are leading excessive shedding, which need to be identified and addressed, the description of dandruff sticking to the roots sounds like a condition called pityriasis amianteacea and your receding hair line could be a number of things. ...More >
The sooner you are seen and correctly diagnosed the sooner management of the conditions can begin, without treatment the situation may only get worse.
It is impossible to diagnose remotely from a description, but from the information given if it is pityriasis amianteacea there is a lot we can do to manage it, it can leave small scars if the scales are constantly picked off, and at all costs we would want to avoid this.

Anna asks:
Terribly greasy hair! I’ve always had very oily hair but I’m so sick of having to wash it every day. I tried leaving it every 3 days before washing but had to use dry shampoo. After 4 months no change so I stepped it up! Now washing my hair every 5 days but 3 months on and my hair has made no progress. I tried using head and shoulders lemon shampoo for greasy hair and T-Gel greasy hair shampoo, I also bought silicone free shampoo and conditioner. I shampoo twice and only condition the ends. I don’t use any hair products on my hair during the 5 greasy days but dry shampoo but my hair started falling out. After all this I still only get 1 clean day. I wash my hair and the very next morning I’m greasy, my hair is shiny and is clumping already! Is there anything else I can try? I’m so sick of my hair I’ve considered shaving it all off! Desperate woman here!

Hi Anna,
With very greasy hair it would be well worth an appointment with a Trichologist who would look at the condition of your hair and scalp to see if there is any underlying cause for over production of sebum. Over production of sebum causes greasy hair! As the hair is falling out, you most definitely need to see a Trichologist. The best treatment for greasy hair is to wash it every day, avoid conditioner other than to the ends and use a specially formulated shampoo that won’t exacerbate the appearance of the hair. Look for a product that contains silicone and oils. ...More >
Please don’t shave it off! Get some professional advice from a Trichologist, see Institute of Trichologists for your nearest qualified Trichologist.
Hope that helps, Eva
Diana asks:
I have very fine hair that is medium in length and very thin. The problem I have, is that my hair seems to separate within about 20 minutes of brushing it. It makes my hair look very unhealthy. How do I stop this separation from happening?
Answered By: Benjamin Shipman
It sounds as if your hair is limp and lank, either from excess product or from natural sebum production. The grease, be it natural or caused by products, is separating your hair in to sections. You have naturally very fine hair, and separation is a fairly common problem among people who have fine hair, as it is the first hair type to be affected by any kind of excess oil in the hair. My first piece of advice would be to try a special shampoo, such as Kebelo Clarifying Shampoo, that purifies the hair more than an ordinary shampoo. Clarifying Shampoo acts like an exfoliator for the hair and scalp, ridding it of excess styling products, environmental impurities, grease, sweat and dirt build-up. These are common causes of limp, lank hair that can separate, as you have described. If, after trying a deep-cleansing shampoo, you notice hair is becoming separated again within a day or two, it may be that you have naturally oily hair, that needs caring for with products tailored specifically to this hair type. Kebelo’s award-winning Revitalising range is a prescriptive range of products, designed especially for fine hair that is naturally oily and limp. The Revitalising Shampoo has been formulated to remove excess oils from the hair and scalp, without stripping the hair or leaving it dry. The Revitalising Conditioner has been created to give an injection of moisture to hair and nourishing locks, but without adding any grease or weight to the hair, so it doesn’t cause the separation problem you have described. As your hair is medium length, you may also benefit from the BONDAGE Weekly Colour Masque, which provides additional deep conditioning and repair to any damaged hair, which then boosts the hair’s body and volume. If you notice your hair is still becoming greasy and separated, within the same day as washing it, take a look at the styling products you are using. If you are using any serums or finishing products, make sure they are specifically for very fine hair. If you wish to smooth your hair, oils should generally be avoided, as they are too heavy for fine hair, whereas smoothing creams are much more suitable.
