Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I appreciate your concern regarding
hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, acute or chronic medical conditions,drugs,cosmetic products etc.
From your description, it seems you might be having
Telogen Effluvium, which is hairfall secondary to any form of stress.In your case excessive hair straightening procedures have damaged your scalp and hairs and thus its causing excessive hairfall
I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing
biotin and other essential
vitamins and minerals for minimum 3 months. Also, would put you on solution containing 5%
minoxidil once a day and a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q sera etc).
I would advise use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week.
Also enquire from your
dermatologist about upcoming treatment options like mesotherapy and
platelet-rich plasma.
Avoid combing in wet hair and let them dry by wrapping in towel. Avoid blow dryers, hot iron and hair-color/dyes.
Avoid any hair straightening procedures.
Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your routine life.
Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
