How To Prevent Hair Loss?

Hi my name is Angela
I'm living in Dubai since nearly 3 years, and I noticed that I am losing a lot of hairs, more than normal, I was looking for a hair specialist or hair doctor here in dubai, but so far I didn't find anything interesting. Any suggestions?

Hi!
Welcome to Healthcaremagic. com.

I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern.


Daily shedding of upto 100 hairs is normal .
Excessive hair fall can be due to physical or mental stress, anaemia or nutritional deficiency or certain medical conditions like thyroid disorders, low serum ferritin etc.
Take a nutritious and protein rich diet(pulses, milk products, eggs).
Use of hair supplements containing biotin will be of help .
Avoid routine application of gels or frequent blow drying of your hair.
Use a sulfate free shampoo for your hair twice a week.
A hair growth lotion or serum can be prescribed to you depending on the cause and severity of your hair fall.
Minoxidil lotion can be applied over the affected area twice daily

Hope this helps!

Good luck!
