Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
You are having telogen effluvium.
It is normal to have hair fall after delivery in some women.
Don't worry. It will take 4-6 months to settle. No need to take any medicine for it.
For dyeing of hair you can use vegetal hair colour. It is ammonia and PPD free.
Their are few medicines available for greying of hair but their efficacy varies from individual to individual.
I recommend my patients to apply melalite 1 percent gel on the affected area twice daily and take tablet calcium pantothenate 100 mg once daily. This needs to be continued for atleast 6 months to notice any significant improvement.
I hope to have answered your queries and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
