Hair loss and hair growth
My hair is basically dry. I am having excessive hair loss and my thick hair got thin now. I am doing oil massage twice a week. I don;t like to keep oil when I step out. What shall I do to get my hair back and give me an alternative, to control the dryness instead of applying oil?

There are many reasons for hair fall. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription,,
