Do not use more than you need, as it will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Make sure not to leave it on the scalp for more than 5 minutes. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse it with water. Hairecap Shampoo is usually safe, however, it may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare.

What information should I share with my doctor before starting Hairecap Shampoo?
Before using Hairecap Shampoo, it's essential to inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies or are allergic to any medications. This will help your doctor provide guidance on safe use.
How long should I leave Hairecap Shampoo on my scalp to avoid irritation?
To prevent irritation or a burning sensation, do not leave Hairecap Shampoo in contact with your hair or skin for more than the recommended time. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or the product's labeling.
Can dandruff lead to baldness?
No, having dandruff will not cause you to go bald. While severe dandruff can sometimes be accompanied by itchiness, leading to hair loss due to excessive scratching, this is usually temporary and reversible with proper treatment from your doctor.
Will using Hairecap Shampoo on dry and brittle hair make the condition worse?
Hairecap Shampoo is specifically designed for treating dandruff on the scalp, not for addressing hair issues like dryness or brittleness. If you have dry or brittle hair, it's recommended to use a separate shampoo and conditioner suitable for your hair type.
Can stress contribute to dandruff?
While stress itself is not directly responsible for causing dandruff, it can trigger various scalp conditions, including dandruff, by affecting the body's immune response and skin health.
