Enhanced nutritive diet, sufficient supplements,
prescribing mild anti-fungal shampoo for maintenance,
regular washing of hair and avoiding use of hot oil massages,
colouring of hair without getting a consult,
ensuring their metabolic disorders(if any) are taken of..

You can trya ayurvedic formulas -

Scalp Massage (Shiro Abhyanga)
Massage your scalp 2–3 times a week using warm Ayurvedic oils like:

Bhringraj oil – promotes hair growth and prevents greying.

Brahmi oil – cools the scalp and reduces hair fall.

Coconut oil infused with curry leaves – adds shine and strength.

Herbal Hair Packs (Lepa)
Apply once a week to detox and strengthen hair roots:

Amla + Reetha + Shikakai powder (mixed with curd or aloe vera)

Fenugreek seed (methi) paste – excellent for dandruff and hair thinning.

Neem paste – for itchy, oily scalp and dandruff.

  1. Gentle Cleansing – Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo 2–3 times a week to avoid stripping natural oils.

  2. Conditioning – Always use a conditioner to reduce breakage and frizz.

  3. Diet & Hydration – Eat protein-rich foods (eggs, nuts, pulses) and stay hydrated. Hair health starts from within.

  4. Avoid Heat & Chemicals – Limit styling tools and harsh treatments like bleaching or straightening.

  5. Scalp Care – Keep scalp clean; treat dandruff or infections early.

  6. Supplements if Needed – Biotin, iron, zinc, and vitamin D, especially if there’s hair loss.

  7. Stress Management – Chronic stress affects hair growth, so mental wellness matters too.
