Hi Doctor, This is Vishitha from bangalore. I had been so crazy on straingtning my hair so end up goin for it for permanent. It was on April 24th not even 2 months. Now what my issue is hair is falling off everyday over 10-20 strands of hair and it is worrying me a lot and the worst is that if i pull one strand of hair its easily breaking away without any pain. I also experienced itching o my scalp.m totally worried thinking will i go bald. :-( Firstly i was using Loreal shampoo +serum and an almond oil to my hair. after experiencing hair fal i switched to herbal sulfate free shampoo and olive oil. kindly help me with this.

Hello there . I have read through your question and I can understand your concern. Firstly I would like to tell you that permanent hair straightening causes a lot of damage to hair because of the heat and chemical s used. Therefore you are experiencing the brittle hair . Secondly you should rule out if you have dandruff since you said there is itching on the scalp. Dandruff can also cause hair fall. To improve the health of your hair you can 1. Stop using harsh shampoos. use something which paraben free. 2. Drink lots of water as it will help to restore the moisture in your scalp. 3 Do regular oiling with coconut or almond oil depending on your skin type. 4 Take a supplement that contain s biotin. 5. Eat nutritious diet and avoid junk food. 6 Avoid stress as it will increase the problem. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
