How to stop severe hair fall?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 32-year-old woman. It seems like I am losing more and more hair every day. I have tried various shampoos and oils, but nothing seems to be working. I am worried that there might be a deeper issue affecting my hair. I have heard that certain vitamins and minerals are crucial for hair health, and maybe I am not getting enough of them. Can you please help me understand if there is a connection between my diet, nutrient intake, and hair loss? If so, what can be done about it?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your query.

Hair loss is caused by decreased protein intake and dry hair. You should eat a good protein-rich diet and condition your hair twice weekly. The best conditioner is hair oil. Hair loss of ten to 100 strands is normal. Keratin-based shampoo is best for hair strength, which prevents hair loss.

Secondly, you should not have any underlying diseases like tuberculosis or thyroid dysfunction.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.
