Excessive hairfall,dry and lifeless hair
I am 22 years old. I am a female, as a child i used to have a very healthy and voluminous hair but as I'am growing up my hair is thinning days after days, its brittle. It was in 2011, i had to leave home and stay in hostel so I never oil my hair, i realised lately in the 2015 that my hair is losing its texture and volume, so then i started oiling my hair, but now i feel its late. 50% of my hair volume is lost, I was under trauma in the year 2015-2016, although i have recovered from it no.

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.
