Many people consider so-called medicinal shampoos to be universal hair care products capable of solving any problem, from dandruff to split ends. However, this is not entirely true.
Why can't medicinal shampoo be used daily
In reality, shampoo is a cleansing product for the scalp, similar to soap. It does not affect hair growth, does not seal split ends, and does not smooth the hair shaft.
According to Ruslana, the primary purpose of medicinal shampoos is to treat scalp conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infections, and others.
These shampoos have a special formula designed to address specific scalp issues.
"Uncontrolled use of such shampoos can lead to irritation and scalp dryness," the expert wrote.
It is important to note that medicinal shampoos are prescribed exclusively by a dermatologist as part of a comprehensive treatment.
Who are medicinal shampoos intended for
People with psoriasis can use such hair products, but only as prescribed by a dermatologist.
“Girls, stop diagnosing yourselves and buying out half the pharmacy,” Ruslana warns.
