New shampoo regimen aims to soothe scalp after hair transplants
NCT ID NCT07641686
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special shampoo regimen can improve scalp health and reduce dandruff in 120 Chinese men who have had hair transplants. Some participants have mild-to-moderate seborrheic dermatitis (a common dandruff condition). The test group uses a special shampoo plus basic shampoo, while control groups use only basic shampoo. Researchers will measure scalp oil, moisture, and skin barrier function to see if the special shampoo helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- test shampoo plus basic shampoo
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward an improved scalp care routine that reduces dandruff and supports healing after hair transplants.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is just a shampoo, so any benefits are likely modest.
