Main problem is Hair loss.
I can say, my hair WAS soft and silky.
I said, WAS, because, these days, when I wake up in the morning, i feel like my hair become very dry and when I try to comb, there is a huge hair loss.
I am using bajaj almond drops hair oil and Dove hair fall rescue shampoo.
I dont have any dandruff problem.
Please suggest. may be some oil/shampoo/ specific food
And also, my Lips become dry irrespective of season. Using some lipbalm to avoid it.
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting on Healthcare Magic and I appreciate your concern regarding hair fall. I will make sure your query is answered in best possible way.
Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, acute or chronic medical conditions,drugs,cosmetic products etc.
From your description, it seems you might be having Telogen Effluvium, which is hairfall secondary to stress.
If i were your dermatologist/trichologist, i would like to take through history including family history, history of recent major trauma/illness/stress/medications etc and recommend some basic investigations like CBC,blood sugar,Thyroid function test.Some other special investiagations like trichogram and dermoscapy and further aid in diagnosis and prognosis.
I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals for minimum 3 months.
Also, would suggest you a solution containing 5%/10% minoxidil once a day and a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q sera etc).
I would advise use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.
Also enquire from your dermatologist about upcoming treatment options like mesotherapy and platelet-rich plasma.
Avoid combing in wet hair and let them dry by wrapping in towel. Avoid blow dryersand hair-color/dyes.
Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your routine life.
Hope this will take care of your condition.
If you are satisfied with the answer and feel your queries are rightly resolved you can close the answer.
