Hello Lybrate-user! hair loss can be due to various reasons, genetic, hormonal, nutritional, dandruff, stress ,pollution etc. We have to examine the scalp to know the reason for hair loss. If dandruff is present, it should be checked and be controlled in this age group. Blood tests like cbpesr ,tsh, lft, rbs, s.ferritin levels, s.b12 levels, s.vitamin d levels, s.testosterone levels need to be checked to know the reason and to focus on the internal factors. Mean while ,take balanced diet with proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, plenty of fluids for hydration, omega 3 rich foods like walnuts, flax seeds etc, iron rich foods like green leafy vegetables, liver, jaggery. Use a ph balanced shampoo .do not use too much of home remedies. Please do consult your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Follihair tab is good for hair growth. Coconut oil is also good for body but too much oily for hair. This will cause massy hair and increase dandruff. You should use antifungal shampoo. Shampoo initially daily or alternate day and once dandruff will be in control, 2 time in week. Apply shampoo for 5-10 minutes. 8x shampoo is very good. If no improvement than you should consult with your dermatologist.

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.
