Excessive hair fall is the most common side effect of hair smoothening as your hair goes through lot of damage with chemicals and ironing. Smoothening can also leave your hair dry and lustreless as it dehydrates hair shaft. What is the solution? Smoothening takes away moisture from hair leaving it rough and dry so regular oiling will help. Oiling and conditioning hair after hair wash will prevent further damage to hair and reduce hair fall. Also avoid harsh shampoos and frequent wash (twice weekly wash with mild shampoo is recommended for rough and damaged hair). 5% tugain is minoxidil and you don't need this as this medicine is helpful for those with weak roots. Use conditioner like triflow hair conditioner or just simple coconut oil.

Hello lybrate-user, hair fall can be due to multiple reasons. Tugain 5% is minoxidil used for hair growth in female and male pattern baldness/alopecia areata etc. You cannot use tugain whenever you want. It's usually given lifelong for hair growth. The cause of the hair fall to be checked. Check your complete blood count, thyroid profile, serum ferritin, vit b 12, vit d3 levels. If you have any nutritional deficiencies you can have excessive hair fall. Or if you have hormonal imbalance like pcos you can have hair loss. You can use biotin supplements (tab keraglo eva daily once as of now for 6 months) if its baldness then topical solution like minoxidil is recommended, you can consult dermatologist nearby or consult online.
