Hair fall | 5 things to do | dermatologist suggests | Dr. Aanchal Panth

Losing a few strands of hair daily is normal. If you are losing more than 100 strands a day, then we need to find the cause.
Here are 5 things you can do :

1️⃣Blood test to rule out deficiency:
Check iron , thyroid, vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels.Though biotin supplements are very popular, biotin deficiency is very uncommon. Iron , vitamin D and vitamin B12 deficiencies are the most common causes of hairfall.
👩‍⚕️Please visit your treating doctor to get this checked.
💊Supplements maybe required for upto six months depending on blood levels.

2️⃣Peptide hair serums twice a day
Peptides such as redensyl, anagain, biotinylGHK, procapil help in reducing hair fall. Apply it on the scalp twice a day. It should be used for 3-6 months depending upon response.
👩‍⚕️Few recommendations
Mintop Pro
Follirich hair serum
La Matisse hair serum

3️⃣Focus on healthy balanced diet
This should not be overlooked. Crash dieting and sudden weight loss are one of the most common causes of hair fall. You have to make sure your meals are nutritious so that your hair gets the proteins, vitamins and minerals required for hair growth.

4️⃣Avoid hair treatments
When you are having hair fall, is it best to avoid any type of hair treatment. No hair spa, no keratin, cysteine hair Botox or any other treatment. It may just exacerbate hair fall. It is best to wait till there is reduction in hairfall by 80% before considering these treatments

5️⃣Keep scalp clean
Not washing your hair is the worst thing you can do when you have hairfall. Infrequent washing can cause dandruff which may worsen hairfall. Keep your scalp clean by washing it at least 2-3 times a week. Remember shampoo will neither cause nor stop hairfall. Its only function is to clean the scalp.

⚠️Usually an episode of hairfall settles on its own in 3 months. If you have troublesome hairfall a lasting longer then visit your dermatologist for a detailed evaluation.
