Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss

I have been loosing my hair at an alarming rate. i ve loss about 1/3 of my hair. I m 59 and post menopausal. I had thick hair and didn t notice how much I was loosing until it starting getting really thin. I have been using Wen hair products for a year and stopped use after I read about a class action against Wen that was causing hair loss, I haven t used the product since May and my hair continues to fall out. I m trying to figure out if its the Wen or a more serous problem. Please advise. I have a doctors appointment on the 27th. As you an imagine I am pretty freaked out. Best regards, mary.

Hello,

Since the Wen hair products do not suit you and are causing your hair to fall, you are suggested to stop using it. Do not use any cosmetic/chemical hair products for a couple of days. Your hair needs care and nourishment. Make sure you do not have any dandruff in your scalp. If yes, use an anti dandruff shampoo to wash your hair and clean your scalp once daily.

Oil your hair and scalp with almond oil or any herbal(natural) hair oil that suits you. Avoid brushing wet hair. Avoid using blowers or styling gels. Stay well hydrated, take protein & mineral rich food or supplements. Vitamin D and B12 deficiency causes hair fall. Take home made nutritious balanced food. You can take Logihair soft gelatin capsule once daily for 20-30 days to prevent further hair loss.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
