Hello,
Dandruff causes hair loss. Shampoo your hair with Selsun shampoo, a very effective anti-dandruff shampoo. After your hair is washed apply a herbal conditioner and apply almond oil on your scalp. Hivate lotion is a steroid used for allergic disorders and inflammatory skin conditions. It is not used for
hair fall. It relieves swelling, redness, and itching. You are advised not to use it as it has side effects like burning, irritation, itching and redness.
Long term use may cause burning, pruritus and skin problems may occur. Take healthy home-made nutritious diet. Vitamin and
mineral deficiency may also cause hair fall. Take plenty of eggs, legumes, nuts, fruits and berries, omega 3 fatty acid, spinach,
vitamin E, B, C, A, Zinc, Selenium, oysters, beans, protein, iron, etc. You can also take supplements (
multivitamin)orally, once daily after food for 10 days. As dandruff goes away your hair fall will reduce. Taking healthy food will help regrowth of hair.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
