Hair fall and hair thinning
My daughter's hairfall started since she was 15, it was shedding a lot due to stress. Since thnn there has been baby hair growth but it's very slow. The hair fall has reduced but its is still a lot. She is comparatively less stressed but even then the hair fall is not stopping. Thickness has reduced to half. Could it be vitamin deficiencies if so how can it be helped? Any hair oil suggestions? (she also has dandruff but it's not that much and also split ends) or any suggestions on how grow hair hair fast and increase thickness.
Thank you.
Hi there.
Thanks for writing in.
A few clear pics of the problem your daughter is facing may be useful to help us in our assessment.
Hair fall 🍂 upto 50-100 or so per day is a normal and should not be distressing.
Yes, stress is a major issue in matters related to the hair and kids are even more affected by this in addition to the stressors of their teenage years.
This needs to be handled gently by your Dermatologist and someone she relates to (as do you) will be your ideal choice of Dermatologist.
Hair oils per se have no bearing on hair growth when applied topically and only help in providing lustre to hair; they may help in suppressing dandruff temporarily.
So not the most useful I'm sorry to say.
