1. As such there is no direct effect of dengue with hair loss but since there is too much fatigue (long recumbency) and loss of appetite while suffering from the same it can lead tomabove said problems.

2. Firsy examine the scalp for dandruff (present) and seborrhic dermatitis:
. Apply selsun shampoo: 2 times/week
. Avoid applying excess oil to hair
. Once a week, apply warm hair oil, massage scalp gently, then wash with herbal shampoo.
. Avoid hard water on hair.
. Avoid dust, use scarf or cap wjile travelling
. Avoid dehydration. Drink plenty of water

3. For Hair Loss
. High protein diet
. Use warm or cold water for hair bath
. Comb hair when they are dry. Wet hair are weak
. Dry the hair naturally. Avoid blow drier and strong heat
. Use protein shampoo 2 times per week
