Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Selsun 2.5 every day?
Daily use causes excessive scalp dryness or oiliness. Stick to the recommended twice-weekly application for safety.
Is Selsun 2.5 good for hair loss?
This formula treats fungal-related thinning but doesn't address male pattern baldness. It clears the scalp environment to support growth.
How long should I leave it on the scalp?
Leave the lather on for 2 to 3 minutes before rinsing. This allows the selenium sulfide to penetrate the fungal cell walls.
