There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. 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. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.

Hi Thanks for your query. The type of hair loss that you have is called Telogen effluvium.  During any major illness the hair are pushed into a premature resting phase. Once the illness is over the new hair start growing pushing the old resting ones out. This is called Telogen effluvium. It may sometimes be seen as major hair fall with full length hair falling out. Though it appears scary it is not much to worry about. You need to maintain a good diet and be nutritionally up to the mark so that the new hair are strong and healthy.  Maintain good diet. Oil your hair regularly. Pamper them as you would take care of a small baby. Eat adequate amount of protein. Your hair is made up mainly of proteins. Include skimmed milk, cottage cheese, lentils in diet. Vitamin C, Zinc and Vitamin B are other important nutrients for great hair health. So include lot of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your daily diet.
