** Thanks for contacting with your health concern. 1. As the problem with hair fall and arrested hair growth is there, [5-6 months] thus I generally recommend the following guidelines: - falling of hair could also be due to an underactive thyroid, so please check regarding Thyroid function test (TFT) and Hemoglobin level. - Is your menstrual cycle normal? - Any unusual mental stress? 2. have you taken an opinion of Trichologist for the same. 3. A. Regarding hair prophylaxis i. Avoid too much exposure to sun ii. Avoid high extremes of temperature such as used in hair straightening devices. iii. After bath make sure you avoid vigorous toweling of hair, let them dry naturally. iv. Make less choice for synthetic hair oils, hair coloring, bleaching, styling, and use of dry blowers. v. Avoid excessive exposure to sun, heat, wind, dust, anger, stress, anxiety, vi. Avoid oily, fried, spicy, hot, fermented and stale food. vii. Proteins are essential for antibodies production so milk, egg (white), beans, yogurt, soymilk, pumpkin, squash, watermelon, peanuts, almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices. viii.Vitamin C: is needed for proper functioning of the immune system: amla is a good option. ix. Soap nut (reetha) and shikakai along with Bhringraj and Neelini oil act as a natural conditioner and you can use it safely. x. Vitamin B1 and B2, Omega-6 and Zinc, magnesium, biotin are very effective so make sure they are a part of regular vitamin intake, apple cider vinegar, Olive Oil or Coconut Oil, raw aloe vera juice can be applied directly to the scalp. 4. Improper Diet: Lack of vitamin B12 is the most common cause of white hair. Thus, increase the consumption of food rich in vitamin B12 such as tuna, sardines, salmon, beef, egg, lamb, cheese and milk. PS. food rich in iodine help in preventing grey hair. Fish has a high content of iodine. In addition to this, bananas and carrot also contain some iodine. Water soaked with amla fruit overnight acts as a good conditioner and can be used to rinse your hair after a wash. Try to eat as much of this fruit as possible for preventing white hair. PS. increase intake of minerals: Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme that converts tyrosine into melanin. [which gives hair its black colour], Copper can be obtained from calf’s liver, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, eggplant, asparagus, peppermint, potato, green beans, cashews, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, ginger etc [do check with relevant investigations and examination to rule out any hidden/secondary cause of your problem]
