Tea with MD 🏥 Stanford NYU trained
✨ Founder , scalp-first clinically backed haircare
👩🏻‍⚕️ Seeing patients Hope you find this helpful!

I'm born and raised in sunny California where I did my undergrad and medical school training at Stanford. In the middle of med school I took a leap of faith and spent one year exploring journalism, working at NBC News in NYC to create medical pieces for Nightly News and The Today Show. My adventure in social media started back then as a blog, and through the years, my interest in content creation grew to include platforms such as Instagram TikTok and YouTube. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood doc that you can ask anything to, even questions you don't want to ask your real life physician.

The haircare products I recommend for different as a derm. 🤍
👉 Frizzy hair? Use a humidity and frizz-control spray, like , to help keep hair smooth.
👉 Thinning hair? Use a hair density serum, like the Redensify Treatment Serum, to support fuller-looking hair. Consistency matters!
👉 Dry, dull hair? Use a lightweight hair oil, like one from , to add softness and shine.
👉 Oily roots? Use a scalp-focused shampoo, like the Reset Shampoo, to cleanse away excess oil and buildup.
👉 Flat hair? Use a texturizing spray to add texture and volume.
👉 Tangled hair? Use a leave-in conditioner to help detangle and reduce friction and breakage.
You don’t need every product in your routine. Start with your scalp and choose products that address what your hair actually needs.

What does Shakespeare have to do with the viral Kérastase Genesis serum? Turns out, it’s a naming story!

“A rose by any other name…” applies to haircare ingredients, too. Aminexil and Kopexil are names for the same compound, which you’ll find on an ingredient list as Diaminopyrimidine Oxide.

Different names, same ingredient! But that doesn’t mean every serum containing it is identical...absolutely not! Concentration and the rest of the formula still matter.

What I do for long, healthy hair as a dermatologist:⁠
⁠
🔴 LED helmet, a few times a week: I use my helmet consistently. Red light helps stimulate hair follicles, but this is a long game.⁠
⁠
🪡 Dermarolling, 1–2x a week: I use a clean roller gently on my scalp and skip scalp actives that day to avoid irritation.⁠
⁠
💧 Scalp serum, 2x a day: I look for ingredients like Redensyl and Kopexil to support fuller, denser-looking hair over time. Both are in the serum I formulated for .⁠
⁠
🫧 Shampoo, a few times a week: Reset Shampoo clears buildup without weighing my hair down, so my scalp feels clean and my roots have more volume.⁠
⁠
🔥 Heat protectant, every time I style: Less heat damage and breakage means a better chance of keeping the length I grow.

You know what's better than a filter? Consistent skincare and yes can be your moisturizer or you can swap in for a less thick one if desired

As a … I should have known better. You don’t even want to see my vitamin D. My doctor called my lab results embarrassing 😭😭😭

Washed your hair last night and your roots are already oily? You don’t have to stretch your wash days.

Some scalps produce more oil than others, so wash yours as often as it needs. Focus the shampoo on your scalp, rinse thoroughly, and keep conditioner and heavier products on your mid-lengths and ends. If you use a lot of dry shampoo or styling products, a clarifying shampoo can help remove buildup.

If the oil comes with itching, redness, or greasy flakes, check in with a dermatologist. It could be seborrheic dermatitis, which may need a different treatment approach.

I formulated the Kerativ Hair Redensify Reset Shampoo to help rebalance your microbiome, which helps with those pesky oil producing yeast! Comment “OILY” below to learn more 🙌🏻

Hair changes don’t happen overnight, but consistency matters. Start using a scalp serum with clinically backed ingredients like Kopexil and Redensyl now, stick with it twice a day, and you can see improved hair volume and density in as little as three months. ✨
