Severe Hair Fall Due to Hostel Lifestyle
Hello Doctor, I am a 19-year-old male living in a government-run hostel for the past 2 years. The hostel conditions are not very healthy, with poor nutrition, polluted environment, and hard water for bathing. Because of this, I am experiencing heavy hair fall. The food quality is poor, and I also face stress and irregular sleep.
I am a complete teetotaler – I do not take tea, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, or any such habits. Still, my hair fall continues.
Can you please suggest:
1. A good shampoo that is safe and effective for reducing hair fall.
2. A suitable hair oil to promote hair growth.
3. Whether I should take any supplements (like vitamins, biotin, or iron).
4. Tips to protect my hair from hostel lifestyle, pollution, and poor nutrition.
