Hello
Welcome to HCM.
You can use the Hair 4u soln and tablets as advised. It must be done for a period of few months to show results.
But firstly you need to keep a check on the dandruff and other possible causes of hairfall. Did you have any illness, new medication, hormonal problems prior to the hairfall? Are your periods regular?
The candid TV lotion is aimed at the dandruff. Few things you must do for the dandruff
- Wash your hair regularly. Don't allow it to get greasy.
Don't apply oil to hair/scalp .
-Be careful about sharing toiletries.
-You may also try Arcolane shampoo if the Candid Tv suspension is very drying. Use it on alternate days for two weeks and then reduce to twice weekly and apply as advised.
Since your skin is prone to oiliness and dandruff you will have to continue these anti dandruff shampoos atleast once a week.
As for the hairfall, eat a nutritious diet along with the medication. Results will take 2-3 months and will also get better once dandruff is controlled.
