Hair fall problem
Since the last month or two, I have a lot of hair fall, which is quite abnormal. I usually oil my hair once or twice a week and wash it off but every time I oil my hair and wash my hair, there is plenty of hair loss so much so that it worries me a lot. I do have dandruff and sometimes itchy scalp. I've used sheekakai and rheeta nut to wash off my hair but it made my hair very dry. Currently I use moms company shampoo and just herbs conditioner. Could you please tell me ways in which I can reduce hair fall?
You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
