Health tips for control of hair fall -

Patients experience the hair fall though they are taking good diet and infact water intake is normal and even if they dont have any significant systemic disease.

1. Don't go for hair straightening and vigrous heat treatments if you are having hair fall. Its a myth that straightening would prevent hair fall. 
2. Cover your hair when you are taking steam, sauana, or hot water bath 
3. Treat your hair as a baby and pamper them. Dont use harsh shampoos and soap instead use a mild medicated shampoo and conditioner and infact wash your hair minimum twice in a week 

4. Dont comb the hair when they are wet, let them dry a bit before you comb
5. You can oil the hair 1 hr. Before shampooing or washing, no neec to apply oil overnight.
6. Males and females have different pattern of hair loss and needs seperate consideration and treatment.
