What Causes Severe Dryness In The Hair?

my hair is thick and medium size, it grows very slowly but it s okay. My problem is that my hair is always dry and it is not soft and shiny except after 3 days of washing it begins to be nice but i hate that , also it is fluffy and have some bad waves which i hate, it is hardly to be styled and so i am forced to iron it to make a good hairstyle! I need your help indeed, thankyou.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry hair which is due to inadequate hygiene, nutritional deficiencies, genetic factor, fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe you anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. you should take supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . You should use olive oil for massage and massage gently not hard. Do Not apply hard cosmetics on you hairs. You should maintain hygiene as much as possible and use mintop 10% preparations on scalp.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
