Does Constant Heat To Scalp Causes Hair Fall? Suggest

Hi my name is Sylvia and I used to use a lot of heat on my hair, I stopped about 2 months ago and haven t used any heat since then. Now the top of scalp hurts constantly and my hair is falling out in large amounts. Does my consistent use of heat have anything to do with this and what can I do to fix this?

hi sylvia thanks for asking on HCM, Since your scalp was exposed to lot of heat it would have caused drying of your scalp which might be the cause of the hairfall it might have even caused crusting of your scalp which hurts. it is better to avoid further exposure of heat you can take natural coconut oil which keep your scalp moist and prevent further hair loss.
