How Should Acute Hair Fall Be Treated?
I am suffering from hair fall for the past 2 years but since last 2 months it has increased. I have started going to the gym, hence my diet plan has changed and also i live away from my family so have to eat outside because of my long office timings. Can you suggest any remedy for this. I also had a haircut recently. People say that you will have hairfall if you cut your hair. I don't know what to do. I want to know good shampoos, also whether Sodium Laureth Sulfate is good for the hair. Anything that can give me a relief from hairfall would be fine.

you have chronic telogen effluvium with acute episode superimposed since 2 monh due to crash dieting and irregular dietary intake. I would advise you to take regular nutritious diet with proteins and micronutrients wit lots of fruit and vegetables. Also do take iron and calcium supplements. You canuse sodium laureth sulfate shampoo with conditioner for gentle cleansing andwashyour hair every other day. Donot use harsh treatments likehot combing and straigtening. You can also use Minoxidil 2% lotion lotion locally at bed time.Haircut has no impact on hair fall hich needsto be treated
