So it's one of those things where I always have patients who are on biotin, maybe as part of their prenatal or they're doing it for nail health, which there is some evidence that can help with nail health, stop their supplemental biotin at least 72 hours before any type of lab test.
Oh, wow.
There are the more studied ones like Viviscal and Nutrafol.
And often they contain some ingredients that are like androgen blockers.
So things like saw palmetto that essentially help DHT not negatively impact your hair follicle.
And those are things that are going to work for some people and not work for other people, but can be helpful and I think are worth a trial.
You just have to understand that if you have one of these chronic or long-term hair loss conditions, if you do find it helpful, that is going to mean you're going to stay on that medication or on that supplement indefinitely.
Sleeping on a silk pillowcase.
Love that one.
Helpful.
When we're thinking about optimizing hair growth, we're thinking about it in two ways.
From the follicle, like what's coming out at the root, but also how are you treating your strands?
And using a silk pillowcase really does reduce friction.
Some people will do a pillowcase, some people will do like a silk bonnet, but just creating some type of like silkier buffer on the hair can be really helpful.
Washing your hair less often.

Doesn't matter.
I think washing your hair as frequently as your hair requires washing.
So for a lot of people, what we're trying to do is just keep their scalp clean.
And for some people, they only need to wash once a week to keep their scalp clean.
