Hair smoothening good or bad
Is hair smoothening or hair straightening fine ?
I am suffering from stage 1 baldness. I have been prescribed and taking dosage of minoxidil and finasteride along with vitamin supplements. It has been around 5 months and I have seen an improvement in my hairline. However my hair are curly and they are also very thin so I I am not able to get a good hairstyle. After 2 hours of combing my hair becomes clumsy.
So I want to go for hair smoothening which will help me attain a good hairstyle does it have any side effects?

No..It will increase hair loss..You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
