Adjusted Hair Tonic Formula for Dry Scalp and Hair Loss

Question

I previously received a hair tonic formula suitable for hair loss caused by oily scalp. However, my scalp is dry, and I also have dry, colored hair with slight irritation and acne. Could you please provide an adjusted formula for a hair tonic that addresses these issues? I would like a formula based on the previous one, but modified for a dry scalp, focusing on moisturizing while still helping with hair loss and improving the condition of dry, colored hair. The formula should include the following components and percentages:

Biotin Express™ 1%
Vitamin B3 3%
1,2-Hexanediol 3%
Slim-Coffee™ 3%
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite™ 1%
Rhamnose 1%
Butylene Glycol 3%
Water (Balance to 100%)

Please confirm if this combination is suitable for my scalp and hair type and how to mix it.

Hair Tonic Formula for Dry Scalp and Hair Loss

This formula is designed to moisturize a dry scalp, reduce hair loss, and improve the condition of dry, colored hair.

ActiveRelease™ Biotin (1%): This form of Biotin is easily absorbed and helps strengthen hair roots, reduce shedding, and promote healthy hair growth.
Vitamin B3 (Safe-B3™) (3%): Vitamin B3 helps improve blood circulation in the scalp, which can strengthen hair follicles. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help with the slight scalp irritation or acne you experience. It also contributes to skin barrier function and moisture.
1,2-Hexanediol (3%): This ingredient acts as a solvent and a preservative booster, helping to keep the formula stable. It also has humectant properties, helping to draw and retain moisture in the scalp.
Encapsulated Caffeine (3%): Caffeine is known to stimulate hair growth and help prevent hair loss by counteracting factors that contribute to shedding.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite™ (1%): Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, Panthenol is an excellent humectant and moisturizer. It helps hydrate the scalp and hair, improves hair elasticity, reduces breakage, and can help soothe scalp irritation and promote healing. This is particularly beneficial for dry and colored hair.
Rhamnose (1%): This sugar molecule has moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe the scalp and improve its overall health, addressing the dryness and slight inflammation.
Butylene Glycol (3%): This is a solvent that helps dissolve other ingredients and can improve the texture and application of the tonic, helping it spread and stay on the scalp.
Water (Balance to 100%): The base of the tonic.

This adjusted formula focuses on providing moisture to your dry scalp and hair while including key ingredients to combat hair loss and improve hair strength and condition. The inclusion of Vitamin B3, Panthenol, and Rhamnose should help address the slight inflammation and dryness.

Mixing Instructions:
Generally, water-soluble ingredients can be mixed into the water phase. Follow the specific mixing instructions for each ingredient as provided in their product descriptions for best results. Ensure all ingredients are fully dissolved or dispersed.

Always perform a patch test on a small area of your scalp before applying the full formula to check for any adverse reactions.
