Shampoo has nothing to do with hairfall. Hair fall is not due to one single cause. There are many conditions which can cause extreme hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause of hair fall with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes maybe nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia also called pattern baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and read the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Also one should refrain from home remedies as it does not give any relief from hair fall. Oil and shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin.Please contact me using online consultation for proper diagnosis and treatment

Beclomethasone can be used instead of ketomax you can use sestry shampoo.
