Brief Answer:
Head massage

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Hair fall Could be due to dandruff, stress and lifestyle too. It doesn't seem genetic for you.

You can do light head massage with above oil or brahmi bhringraj oil. Coconut oil can be used daily on scalp. You can take folate tablets. Tab Amruth (giloy) once a day for 5 days can be used as home remedy to reduce the dryness.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more doubts.

Dr. Vaishalee

Brief Answer:
The oil can be left overnight

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Yes you can leave the oil overnight and wash it off with a mild shampoo (with less of chemicals or medicines) in the morning.
Tab Amruth is an ayurvedic preparation prepared from giloy and is helpful with the dry scalp or skin. It is available under many brands like Sri-Sri-Tattva. It can be taken in the dose on 1 tablet twice a day for 3 days.

Dry skin or scalp is benign and does not affect inner systems. Oil play a big role in this like applying oil in routine on dry areas. Use mild shampoo. Avoid medicated products and antibiotics. Drink cleaner water. Have a healthy lifestyle.

Dr Vaishalee
