Dandruff and hair loss

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Hello,
Thank you for your query.
The problem you're facing is extremely common all over India, and it could be due to a nutritional deficiency or due to the hair color you have been using for a long time.

I will suggest a few basic steps. Be patient, and you can expect positive results.

1) Get Castor oil. Massage it gently on to the scalp. Leave it over night and shampoo the next day. Preferably use good anti dandruff shampoo such as head and shoulders, or Dr. Batra's dandruff repair.

2) Use castor oil every alternate day. You can also buy almond oil separately and massage it once after applying castor oil. Make sure you shampoo next day morning, to avoid stickiness.

3) Increase protein content in your diet. Have more egg whites, dairy products, curd, cheese, nuts, e.t.c

Avoid putting lemon juice or curd and washing your hair.

Use the above mentioned steps and that should be enough.

Hope this was helpful,

Regards.
