I m male. My age is 34-40. Due to stress I had excess sebum, my hair started thinning which cause oily dandruff. Now I have only 30℅ hair which is the outer layer. I have baldness in my crown area. Due to shortage of sleep, my hair, heard, moustache getting grey. I need a complete solution for all this. Now I don't have stress, but I have excess sebum issue for the past 10 years. I started using doctor prescribed Ketakonazole shampoo which turned my hair grey hair.
