Brief Answer: Excess hair fall : Home remedies Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX , I do understand that it is difficult to take so many medicines especially the application of medicines can be quite messy at times. It is good that you are ready for the diet modifications. But still I would recommend that you take atleast a single tablet of biotin once a day everyday. This will help in strengthening the hair protein from inside. Other than this, taking a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, eggs and pulses will surely help. You can skip the topical drugs for the moment. But I would surely advise you to get a hemoglobin and a thyroid profile done as many times it is important to find out the cause of the hair fall. As far as the use of hair oil is concerned, you can use any almond or olive hair oil . Apply it to the hair atleast an hour before washing hair. Leaving oil on hair overnight has been found to give no additional benefits. You should also follow up hair wash with a hair conditioner everytime in order to prevent excess drying. Using green XXXXXXX can additionally be of benefit in smoothing the hair. Hope it helps, Dr Geetika Paul.
