For the past month or so, I am experiencing a sharp increase in my hair fall, particularly when I shampoo. I shampoo my hair not more than twice a week and oil them with coconut oil about thrice a week. My hair used to be very thick and dense just a few mo ths back. I don't you derstand why this is happening. Is the problem nutritional or related to external haircare?

Most of the times it is due to nutritional flaws in your diet and your stress levels. You can use some good hair packs like - fenugreek and yogurt, egg and green tea. You can rinse your hair with organic apple cider vinegar after washing your hair to maintain pH balance of your hair. Hair health depends on the amount of protein in your diet. Foods like chicken, eggs, fish, nuts, dry fruits gives you the required nutrients to keep your skin and hair healthy. So consume plenty of them. Eat things rich in vitamin C like amla and oranges. Also drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins from the body.
