there are actually essential oils that help. It would have to depend on the severity at this point. Peppermint,Rosemary,Cedarwood,Thyme,Lavendar and Basil. Blended in a carrier oil such as almond or sesame oil works wonders. I had to take meds that made my hairline bald and nothing I tried worked until I made this blend. I rubbed it in the nite for 3 months every nite and I'm really pleased with the results.Sulfur(MSM) is also used for thin or balding hair. Lemon oil and Tea tree help underactive sebaceous glands. Also, Vitamin B complex,C,E,Zinc are good as well as Biotin, Horsetail, and Silica gel. another hot item is Primrose (taken internally). Funny I bumped into this browsing but when my ex dude was taking alot of gear it happened to him and I mixed up a batch for him and he called me the other day to ask where I bought all the stuff and if I would make it for him again hope that helps. Beware not to add any of the above from bottle to hair it can burn scalp concentrated. If you want the recipe PM me and I can help but even Olive oil works good as a carrier. If you take flax that helps as will any other ess. fatty's you may be taken at this point. there are a few I would choose over others .Hope this helps.. P.S I have been studying aromatherapy for years and the same oils come up- "google" these items if you want confirmation or more info. if you make the potion best to put a warm wet towel over your head for 20 min or so or a shower cap. I used the cap then cleaned the house the sweat opened my pores up most of the oils will give you a tingle when applied
