    TLDR Healthy scalp reduces hair loss by managing oxidative stress.
    The study concluded that oxidative stress on the scalp significantly affected hair growth and retention, with poor scalp conditions leading to hair follicle damage and hair loss. It emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy scalp environment to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. The findings suggested that treatments targeting oxidative stress, such as shampoos containing zinc pyrithione, could be beneficial. The document reviewed various scalp conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis, all associated with oxidative stress and negatively affecting hair health. The study underscored the importance of managing oxidative stress to support healthy hair growth and prevent premature hair loss.
