Our team have created this free step-by-step guide with more detailed insights and practical tips, to help you implement an effective hair care regimen based on the latest scientific evidence and dermatologists advice.
1. Shampoo with Ketoconazole
Why it works
Ketoconazole, found in anti-dandruff shampoos like Nizoral, addresses scalp health, which is fundamental for hair growth. This compound fights fungal infections, reduces scalp inflammation, and may counteract the effects of DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss. Studies indicate that ketoconazole can decrease hair follicle miniaturization, helping to preserve hair thickness and density (Pierard-Franchimont et al., 1998).
How to use
For optimal results, use a ketoconazole-based shampoo 2-3 times a week. Apply it to damp hair, massage into the scalp to create a lather, leave for 3-5 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. This allows the active ingredients sufficient time to work effectively on the scalp.
2. Use a Dermaroller (ideally 1-1.5mm)
Why it works
Microneedling with a dermaroller promotes hair growth by inducing wound healing responses and increasing blood flow to the scalp. This process enhances the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles, potentially increasing hair density and thickness. Studies show that when combined with standard treatments, microneedling can significantly improve hair regrowth outcomes (Dhurat et al., 2013).
How to use
Select a dermaroller with needle lengths of 1-1.5mm for scalp use. Use it two to three times a week, gently rolling it over the scalp in multiple directions—vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Always ensure to clean the dermaroller with an alcohol solution before and after each use to maintain hygiene and prevent infection.
3. Apply Natural Oils
Why it works
Rosemary oil has been proven to perform comparably to minoxidil, a standard hair loss treatment, in increasing hair count after six months of use (Panahi et al., 2015). Castor oil, rich in ricinoleic acid, enhances blood circulation to the scalp and strengthens hair roots, supporting hair growth.
How to use
Combine equal parts rosemary and castor oils. Massage the mixture into your scalp for several minutes before bedtime to maximize absorption overnight. Wash your hair in the morning using the ketoconazole shampoo to remove excess oil and optimize scalp health.
4. Start PRP Treatment
Why it works
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets into the scalp. These platelets release growth factors that stimulate the repair and regeneration of tissues, particularly hair follicles. Research highlights PRP's effectiveness in increasing hair count and thickness (Gkini et al., 2014).

5. Take Hair Growth Supplements
Why it works
Supplements like Viviscal and Nutrafol contain a blend of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients that nourish hair follicles from within. These supplements are scientifically formulated to support hair growth by providing the necessary nutrients to fortify hair and improve its growth cycle.
How to use
Adhere to the recommended dosage on the supplement packaging—usually one or two capsules daily. For best results, integrate these supplements into your daily routine consistently over several months.
Conclusion
Implementing this detailed routine offers a robust approach to tackling hair loss and promoting hair growth. By addressing the issue from multiple angles—scalp health, mechanical stimulation, nutritional support, and targeted treatments—you can maximize your chances of revitalizing your hair.
