Suggest Remedy For Severe Hair Fall With Dry And Itchy Scalp
Hello, When ever I apply oil and take head bath I notice atleast 50 to 60 strands of hair coming out. What should I do in this case. I m 24 yr old. And considerable amount of hair loss occurs only during oiling and shampooing. I have a dry scalp texture. Is shikakai powder( meera powder) good for hair? Cause 3 months back I had itchy scalp and switched over to shampoo. kindly suggest a good remedy.

Hi,
You may be suffering from Sebhoric Dermatitis (Dandruff) and it always becomes more in oily environment. You are advised application of no oily preparation on your scalp for some time. Definitely you can use soaps and shampoos as desired. Apply local anti-fungal ointment to your scalp like hair cream.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
