Over use of chemicals or medines causes vaat and pitta dosha imbalance in scalp and hair follicles. It results in brittle, dry, course or damaged hair. You need to use your scalp's ph neutral shampoo to prevent further dryness and darnage. You can use cetaphil or sebamed shampoo twice a week. You should do oil coconut massage to your scalp and hair length to moisten your scalp. You can use protein mask for quick results. Ayurveda medicines are helpful to cure excess hair fall issue. We need your proper history for complete evaand treatment. You can consult is personally through practo or our website for further assistance

Likely dry scalp + dandruff + hair damage from treatment/shampoo.
Use mild shampoo 2–3×/week + ketoconazole shampoo 2×/week for dandruff.
Use conditioner/serum for lengths, avoid heat/chemicals.
Hair length damage won’t reverse → trim ends. New growth will be normal.
If hair fall continues, consult me, I’ll guide proper treatment.

This looks like dryness dandruff causing breakage, not permanent damage so it’s reversible 😊
Switch to a gentle anti dandruff routine and add a good conditioner for lengths.

Managing hair that has become dry and damaged due to systemic treatments like Tretinoin requires a dual approach: treating the scalp for dandruff while deeply nourishing the hair lengths. Using a Ketoconazole-based shampoo twice a week is an effective way to control dandruff, but since your hair lengths are already compromised, a specialized repair protocol is necessary to prevent further breakage."
Next Steps
Hair health is a reflection of internal health. A one-size-fits-all shampoo might not work. A detailed consultation will help me identify the exact cause of your hair fall and growth issues.
Health Tips
book a detailed consultation and share your full medical history with me. This will help me evaluate your specific case and prescribe the exact nutritional supplements or medicated lotions you need for long-term hair health."
