How To Control Hair Fall?
Hello doctor.. Earlier hairfall was not so much but from the last 3-4 months I am experiencing severe hair fall after every shampoo. (I have not changed my shampoo or oil) Even after applying proper shampoo the bottom hair become messy and entangled which causes hairfall every time I comb my hair. From a thick braid, now it is a very thin one plus quality and texture has degraded suddenly from silky to dry. I went for thyroid test as suggested by a doctor and diagnosed with no such problem . please doctor provide urgent help in this matter :(

Hi
Hair fall can occur due to many reasons. Nutritional deficiency like anaemia and vitamin deficiencies ,dandruff ,seborrheic dermatitis and stress can cause hair fall. The type of hair fall should be identified, whether it is localised hair fall or generalised hair fall.Localised loss of hair can be due to to hormonal deficiency or alopecia areata.
Regular washing of hair at least twice a week ,healthy and nutritious food,adequate hydration is very essential for preventing hair loss. Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis should be treated with antifungal shampoos.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
