Good morning lybrate-user. Diffuse hair fall can arise due to a variety of conditions. Appropriate treatment depends on the diagnosis/cause of hairfall. Hair supplements are usually prescribed secondarily along with the appropriate treatment to enhance hair regrowth. Kindly have your hairfall assessed by qualified dermatologist so that the cause and appropriate treatment can be suggested since there is a good chance that only taking the supplements and applying coconut oil may probably not give you the results you are looking for.

Hello. Find out the cause of your hair fall. Do some basic investigations like hb, iron, vit b12 calcium, rbs etc. For dandruff you can use antidandruff shampoo like ketoconazole/ cyclopirox etc. Yes you can use tab follihair (side effects are very rarely seen but stop the drug if you notice any) and gentle scalp massage with coconut oil. Take protein rich diet. Thanks.

Regularly wash your hair with mild shampoo. 1. Vitamin for hair loss.(a, b and c) 2. Enrich diet with protein. 3. Do warm coconut oil massage. Take coconut oil and heat it up so that it is warm, but not too hot. Massage your scalp with this hot oil for a few minutes. 4. Avoid brushing wet hair. 5. Keep yourself hydrated. 6. Put on a shower cap for an hour then shampoo your hair. It helps to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. 7. Avoid hairstyles that pull on the hairline. 8. Ditch hair tools that use high heat. 9. Be wary of chemical processing. 10. Drink water to hydrate your body. U can mix arnica q and jaborandi q equal quantity. Apply on scalp with the help of cotton. Wash hair next day. Do it twice a week homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. You can contact me for a detailed consultation.
