Severe Dandruff And Hair Fall Problem. How To Control This?
Hi,I live in UAE. And I would like to know about the cause of hairfall. I do have dandruff which doesnt stay stable but comes and goes. Right now,its severe. I use home made oil. So,how many times a week should hair bath be taken? And does using shampoo daily damage hair or cause hairfall? I use it frequently cause my head is quite oily and hairs are very thin too. Thus,it sticks together. Well, right now I prefer ayurvedic shampoos.

hello.You will require an anti dandruff medicated shampoo(containing ketoconazole), which itself can be a cause of hair fall.Get yourself examined by a physician to check for medical problems like anemia,hypothyroidism.daily shampoos may dry the hair,once in 2 or 3 days is sufficient,when you take head bath.
