Brief Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX any change can bring about hair fall.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX any change can bring about hair fall. Please get her vitamin D and B-12 done. Meanwhile put her on a multivitamin like Astymin M Forte, that contains multivitamins and amino acids. Check whether she has dandruf. If she has dandruff, she can use a good anti dandruf lotion like endruf twice a week --oil hair a little without massaging, apply Endruf 2 tsp in tsp warm water, gently massage all over scalp, leave for 20 minutes and wash with gentle shampoo. I would also recommend roasted til, kadipatta and methi powder 4 tsf in buttermilk daily. It works. All the best. Regards

Thanks Dr XXXXXXX for your reply! We will get her Vit-D & B12 tests done.

Some additional info from my side

1)She has already tried applying kadipatta mixed in curd n methi seeds roasted in oil and applying that oil before every head wash. She is doing it since last 1.5 months, but it seems that it did not work for her.
2) The texture of the hair has also become really bad now.

Query based on your reply - You mentioned "I would also recommend roasted til, kadipatta and methi powder 4 tsf in buttermilk daily". Do you mean that this mixture needs to applied on hair before headwash ?

Now based on above details, will you have additional comments?

Regards
XXXX
