Hello
Welcome to HCM forum.
If you are having dandruff , use an antidandruff shampoo
Take steam with hot towel around scalp and then shampoo your hair
If you are anaemic , take iron supplements
Avoid stress
Arnica hair vitalizer along with shampoo and hair oil help to prevent hairfall
Henna treatment along with shikakai , reetha and amla help to prevent hair fall
Vitamin supplents should be taken regularly
Take care

Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Geeta Sundar's  Response
Hi welcome to HCM. Hair fall can be due to internal or external factors. External can be too much exposure to sunlight, pollution, excessive chlorine in water, over shampooing, lack of oil in hair, dandruf, combing wet hair, tying hair tightly etc. Internal causes can be deficiency of vitamin E, A and B-complex. Please find out if you have any of the external factors and correct them. And take a nutritionally balanced diet with salads, sprouts, cooked vegetables, milk, buttermilk, pulses and whole grains. You can also take a multivitamin, multimineral supplement for a month.
