Excessive Hair fall and dandruff
I am getting a hair fall and dandruff issue for 3 months especially since I might be losing around 50-100 hair follicles while washing my hair with shampoo and around 30 -40 hair follicles normally. I have some grey hair with around 50-60 follicles as well which are there from 15 years My sleep schedule is 5-7 hours and fluctuating and also my weight has been reduced from 64 to 57 in a year. I have had a sedentary lifestyle. For 3 months before that, I was having a pretty active lifestyle with a strict diet I mostly travel by train and on normal public transport In my day-to-day. Work routine I wash my hair with shampoo twice a week and daily I just have a water wash I oil my hair daily with coconut oil and once a week with onion oil all this began hair fall issues began in winter so is it normal?

Hair loss can be due to various reasons such as genetic , hormonal , environmental factors , nutritional deficiencies and even dandruff . We need to do a scalp analysis and check for the dandruff and the severity. Depending on that , we can start with topical applications for the scalp. Treatments maybe required Depending on the severity of the dandruff. Investigations maybe required to find if there's any internal cause of the hair fall. You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation with us for the same .
