Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Greasy and oily hair can be an irritating problem, especially when it starts to affect our lifestyle. It could be a consequence of multiple factors such as the effect of hormones, weather, stressful lifestyle, use of thick oils, etc. Hair fall is the end result of all these insults to the hair. However, there is no need to panic as we have good shampoos and hair supplements, which can help to control the problem. I suggest you try using the following. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent.

Keraglo-AD shampoo (combination of Ketoconazole, Ichthyol Pale, and D-Panthenol), twice a week, for a month. Apply and wait for 10 minutes before you wash your hair.
Tablet Hairbless (combination of Minoxidil 5 % and Aminexil 1 %), once daily after lunch for a month.

These will help to control the greasiness and reduce dandruff too. You are not supposed to abruptly stop the medicines, but instead, taper it off as you shift to your normal shampoo. Also get a complete blood picture and thyroid profile done. Kindly upload appropriate images so that we can assess the present condition of hair fall, and see if Minoxidil is needed.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
