Hair fall everytime I brush my hair
I have been having hairfall since many years. I thought it was the fault of the shampoo and I kept changing them too. But not one suited my hair type (curly,extra frizzy and dry)
It's not only hair fall now but they became brittle n thinned down.
I don't seem to understand what could be the problem for my hair fall. But it's worrying me cause I believe in few years I might have patches of baldness.

There are many reasons for hair fall. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
