This is a YouTube short titled "Hair Loss and Shedding Solutions #shorts" (created 2025-11-07, last edited 2026-01-30) containing an English monologue by a dermatologist about seasonal hair shedding. The speaker explains that increased hair loss moving into colder months can be normal, offers drugstore tips—use an anti-dandruff ketoconazole shampoo (leave on 2–3 minutes), apply men's Rogaine with a toothbrush for targeted application, and consider prenatal vitamins for folic acid, iron and vitamin D to support hair health—and advises seeing a board-certified dermatologist if hair loss is persistent or the scalp becomes more visible.

If you're losing hair fast and it's shedding like crazy, listen up. I'm a dermatologist and this was me then versus now and as seasons change into the colder months, it's normal to start experiencing more hair loss. The good news? It will pass. But here are a few drugstore hacks to help you hold on to every single hair strand because it can be super stressful. 1. Go and get yourself an anti dandruff shampoo with ketoconazole to help to reduce inflammation in your scalp which can lead to excess shedding. Pro tip because it can be a little drying, I like to put it in sections on my scalp and let it sit on my scalp for two to three minutes before washing it off. 2. I like to apply men's Rogaine on a toothbrush and gently apply it to various parts of my hair. I do not brush my teeth with it, but this allows me to really be specific where I apply it because Rogaine can increase hair growth elsewhere and we do not want it dripping down the sides of our face. 3. Prenatal Vitamins they're not just for your babies, they're also for your baby hairs because folic acid, iron and vitamin D can really help to support stre stronger hair strands from within. Last seasonal shedding is absolutely normal, especially as we're going from summer into the colder months ahead. But if you are losing hair for months and years on end and we are having our scalp that is becoming more visible, I hope these hacks can help. Otherwise, do not hesitate to go see your local board certified dermatologist to make sure they can help you from the inside out.
