How To Control Hair Fall With History Of Hair Straightening?

I straightened my hair a lot. Now, I have begun to lose my hair severely. I lose more than 100 strands of hair daily. I feel like crying. I can t afford much expensive medicines but I want my hair fall to stop within a month as it seems haunting to see such horrifying hair fall. Please, help. I have lost half of my hair now.

Hi there, welcome to HCM
Loosing more than 100 strands of hairs means yes there is something wrong and need to be fixed...
First of dont take too much of stress as it would not gonna help but worsen the condition...
Recall if have any illness or any stressful event in last 3-4 months,,,if yes then this is telogen effluvium...it occurs when some stress causes hair roots to be pushed prematurely into the resting state and then shedding....this is a self repairable condition and reverts in another 6-12 months...
First of all increase your protein intake, vegetable and fruits rich in all the minerals and vitamin,,,you may also take hair vitamin supplement like Tab Follihair once a day after food...
Give frequent massage to your hairs with warm olive and coconut oil with tips of fingers,,,this will increase the circulation of scalp...
Apply minoxidil 2% lotion twice a day over the affected area...
Hope this would help.
