If you are atopic, you have a higher chance of having dry brittle hair in the front of scalp, an oilier scalp and all the mentioned features. You may need to visit a dermatologist to identify if it is seborrheic dermatitis or alopecia..
Next Steps
better use a gentle cleanser and avoid hair treatments that strip the hair off of its oil layer and keratin
Health Tips
avoid straightening, smoothening and hair masks
