Hi,

Firstly, since you know a cause for your hair fall it is necessary to be careful in future regarding cosmetic treatments. It is a common complaint in such cases. Excess heat affects the strength of your hair, causing breaks and burning the roots, making them weak. Even permanent straightening uses harsh chemicals.

It could also be due to stress, work, poor diet, other hairstyling products, dandruff, change in water, etc., which have added to the cause. Also, you need to check for other causes like thyroid problems, low iron /hemoglobin, any illness like fever, typhoid, and any long-term medication. Any genetic hair loss, or balding in the family could make you more prone to hair fall.

Once the hair roots are damaged or there is hair fall, you will experience this till new strong hair regrows as different hair will fall and grow at different time. This can take a few months. You can check with a dermatologist regarding any tests required to check for these causes, as any underlying cause will affect hair growth.

You must firstly avoid heat/chemical treatments as far as possible. Apply warm oil and massage before bath but don't leave it on for more than half hour. At night use Recute or Tressgro serum. Wash 2 to 3 times a week/not more. Use a good shampoo like Renocia or Ducray Anaphase.

I would advise you to start on a hair supplement capsule like Keraglo Eva or Follihair containing biotin daily for 2 to 3 months to see improvement. Any treatment needs to be taken for a few months regularly to see good results.

Be sure to take a nutritious balanced diet and fluids, adequate rest, and avoid stress. Avoid harsh chemicals. You can go in for other cosmetic hair treatments as a later option after consulting dermatologist regarding the necessity, if you see no improvement over a long-term.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
