ONLINE CONSULTATION

Tight hairstyles, constant pulling, and mechanical stress can take a serious toll on your hair, leading to breakage, thinning, and even permanent follicle damage. If you’re dealing with traction alopecia, DOSE Traction is here to help you reclaim your hair’s health. This scientifically formulated treatment works to soothe and nourish the scalp, reinforce weakened strands, and encourage new hair growth. Its lightweight formula reduces inflammation, improves scalp circulation, and targets the root causes of hair thinning, helping to reverse the effects of excessive pulling and styling. DOSE Traction isn’t just about fixing the damage - it’s about recovery and prevention too. This product supports hair regrowth, but it may not be possible to restore all lost hair (especially where traction has caused scarring), so it’s important to manage your expectations.

SUITED TO

For individuals experiencing early stages of traction alopecia, caused by prolonged tension on the hair from tight hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, wigs, braids and weaves. Suitable for those looking to restore hair density, strengthen weakened follicles, and promote regrowth in areas of thinning. This product is most effective when hair is not regularly styled in tight hairstyles, so for best results, we recommend allowing your hair to recover with gentler styling methods. DOSE Traction is also suitable for people with trichotillomania.

If years of tight hairstyles have left you with thinning edges or weak, fragile strands, DOSE Traction is here to help.  Infused with a powerful blend of clinically-proven actives, DOSE Traction helps to repair and restore traction-related fragile and thinning hair using:

  • Minoxidil 6% – a clinically proven ingredient that reactivates hair follicles, boosts blood flow, and encourages stronger regrowth.
  • Melatonin 0.20% – a powerful antioxidant that protects hair follicles from oxidative stress while supporting the hair’s natural growth cycle.
  • Niacinamide 5% – helps soothe and strengthen the scalp, reducing inflammation and supporting optimal hair health.
  • Organic rosemary essence – boosts circulation to the scalp.
  • Glycerine – hydrate and repair the scalp barrier, helping to counteract dryness and irritation from tension-related damage.

For best results, we recommend using DOSE Traction alongside gentler styling methods to allow your hair the opportunity to fully recover.

For best results, use daily and allow at least three to six months of consistent application to see visible improvements in hair thickness and strength.

Follow these simple steps:

  • Start with a clean scalp - apply to dry or towel-dried hair after washing to ensure maximum absorption.
  • Part your hair -  using your fingers or a comb, section your hair to expose areas of thinning or concern.
  • Apply the drops – use the dropper to apply the product directly onto the scalp, focusing on targeted areas. The exact amount used will depend on the size of the area to be treated, but the maximum recommended amount is 1-2mls once daily.
  • Massage gently – using your fingertips, massage the formula into the scalp in circular motions to boost circulation and encourage absorption. Wash your hands thoroughly after.
  • Leave the formula in for at least 8 hours and do not rinse. Let the active ingredients work throughout the day or overnight.
  • Style as usual – once absorbed, you can style your hair as normal, and if any residue remains, hair can be washed after 8 hour

Please note: All DOSE products are for external use only. It is important to apply the treatment regularly as consistent application provides the best chance of treatment response. All DOSE products have been formulated as a convenient once daily dosing. Please refer to your dispensing label to check the quantity that needs to be applied where applicable. Note that applying more of the product does not provide faster results.

Contraindications, warnings and precautions

Do not use any DOSE product if any of the following apply:

  • Known allergy to any of the active and inactive ingredients relevant to your DOSE product (please refer to the dispensing label and enclosed product leaflet to check the exact ingredients in your formulation.)
  • Pregnant, breast-feeding or trying to conceive within the next 3 months (both men and women.)
  • Open wounds, recent surgery (within the last 6 months), irritated, inflamed or sore skin in the treatment area.

All DOSE products contain medicines and are for external use only. Unlike taking tablet medications, topical use of medicines significantly reduces the risk of serious side effects. Side effects from topical medicines are generally mild, temporary and or localised to the site of application. However, it is important that you familiarise yourself with all potential side effects relevant to your DOSE product.

If you develop any signs of an allergic reaction (skin redness, itching, rashes, hives, burning) stop the treatment and seek medical attention from your doctor or pharmacist. In severe reactions (shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat) call emergency services (999) immediately.

  • Always keep DOSE products out of the sight and reach of children and pets.
  • All alcohol-based products are potentially flammable. You should store your DOSE product at room temperature (15°C - 25°C) in a well-ventilated space away from flames and direct sunlight.
  • Do not use this medicine after the expiry date, which is stated on the dispensing and batch label. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
  • Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to throw away medicines you no longer use. These measures help to protect the environment.
