It’s normal to lose some hair every day, but if you’re noticing excessive hair fall like strands on your pillow, in the shower, or on your clothes, it may be a sign that your hair growth cycle is disrupted. On average, losing 50 to 100 strands a day is considered normal. Anything beyond that could indicate an underlying issue.

As a hair specialist, I explain to my patients that hair loss causes can include stress, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, scalp infections, or even genetic factors like androgenetic alopecia. Seasonal shedding and lifestyle factors such as crash dieting, lack of sleep, or excessive heat styling can also contribute.
You should start worrying when you see visible thinning on the scalp, widening of your hair parting, or if your hairline starts receding. Persistent shedding for more than a few weeks or a sudden increase in hair loss warrants a proper medical evaluation.
At HairMD Pune, we perform detailed scalp analyses and diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of excessive hair fall. Once we understand the reason, we customise treatments such as PRP therapy, mesotherapy, nutritional support, or hair growth medications to restore healthy hair density.

Dry, flaky patches with hair breakage could be due to dandruff, scalp eczema, or a fungal infection. The first step is to use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or salicylic acid twice a week. Avoid applying too much oil, as it can clog pores and increase fungal growth. Keep your scalp clean, and gently massage it while washing to remove flakes. Use a mild conditioner only on hair ends.
Ensure you eat foods rich in vitamins, zinc, iron, and biotin, as nutrition plays a key role in hair strength. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive heat, and tight hairstyles. If the scalp becomes red, itchy, or painful, visit a dermatologist — you may need prescription medication or antifungal treatment.

Yes, dandruff can contribute to temporary hair loss. When dandruff causes itching, frequent scratching damages hair follicles and weakens roots, leading to breakage and shedding. Additionally, the inflammation caused by fungal overgrowth or seborrhoeic dermatitis can affect scalp health and reduce hair growth. However, dandruff alone doesn’t cause permanent baldness — it just triggers shedding that stops once the scalp is treated.
Use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week and avoid oiling the scalp excessively. Keep your scalp clean, avoid harsh hair products, and eat a nutrient-rich diet. If hair fall continues despite treatment, it’s advisable to visit a dermatologist, as the cause might also include hormonal imbalance, stress, or nutritional deficiencies.

Tinea Capitis and Seborrhoeic Dermatitis both affect the scalp but have different causes.
Tinea Capitis is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes. It leads to round bald patches, itching, scaling, and sometimes pus-filled lesions. It is contagious and often affects children.
Seborrhoeic Dermatitis, on the other hand, is a non-contagious inflammatory condition caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast and excess sebum. It causes greasy flakes, redness, and itching, mainly on the scalp, face, and behind the ears.
Treatment differs — Tinea Capitis needs oral antifungal medication and medicated shampoos, while Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is treated with anti-dandruff shampoos, mild steroids, or antifungal lotions. Proper diagnosis by a dermatologist is essential to ensure correct treatment.

Early greying and dandruff in teenagers can happen due to stress, poor diet, genetics, or scalp issues. Dandruff occurs when the scalp produces excess oil or has fungal growth, while premature greying is linked to melanin loss. You can apply light oils like coconut or almond oil once or twice a week, but avoid leaving them overnight if dandruff is present, as it can worsen the flakes. Instead, use an anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole twice a week. Ensure your son’s diet includes iron, protein, vitamin B12, and biotin-rich foods. Regular scalp hygiene and stress control are important. If the greying continues or dandruff becomes severe, consult a dermatologist to rule out nutritional deficiencies or scalp infections.

After the first PRP session, temporary hair shedding is common as weak hairs fall out and new growth is stimulated. This phase typically improves within a few weeks and is a normal part of the process. However, stopping treatment midway may limit the effectiveness of PRP, as it generally requires multiple sessions for optimal results. Since you’re a teenager, it’s especially important to evaluate potential nutritional deficiencies or hormonal changes that could be affecting your hair health.

Exercise boosts blood circulation, reduces stress, and promotes hormonal balance, all of which indirectly support hair growth. However, exercise alone isn’t enough to prevent hair loss. For optimal hair health, pair regular workouts with a protein- and iron-rich diet, proper scalp care, and sufficient sleep. Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, and crash diets, as they can worsen shedding. Managing stress through activities like yoga or meditation can also help. If hair loss persists or becomes excessive, it’s important to consult a dermatologist to rule out genetic, nutritional, or medical causes and explore targeted treatment options.

A fungal scalp infection, medically known as tinea capitis, requires prompt medical attention to prevent severe itching, persistent dandruff, and significant patchy hair loss. It’s crucial to start treatment early, which typically involves using specialized antifungal shampoos containing active ingredients like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione. For more severe or persistent cases, a doctor will likely prescribe oral antifungal medicines, as topical treatments alone may not fully eradicate the infection from the hair follicles. While undergoing treatment, it is vital to avoid scratching the scalp, as this can lead to skin damage and secondary bacterial infections. Similarly, avoid applying oils, which can trap moisture and worsen the fungal growth. With timely and appropriate treatment, the infection will clear, and hair regrowth typically follows. A dermatologist can provide an accurate diagnosis, often through a simple scalp examination or a fungal culture, and prescribe the most effective medication to resolve the issue.

Yes, rapid hair fall can often be directly linked to iron deficiency anaemia. Iron is crucial for producing haemoglobin, which carries oxygen to your hair follicles. When iron levels are low, this oxygen supply is reduced, weakening the hair roots and leading to excessive shedding. Along with prescribed iron supplements, it's vital to incorporate iron-rich foods into your diet, such as leafy greens, lentils, eggs, fortified cereals, and nuts. Ensuring adequate protein intake and consuming vitamins like C (which aids iron absorption) will also significantly support hair regrowth. If shedding persists despite treatment, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough scalp examination and further blood tests to rule out other potential contributing factors, such as thyroid issues or hormonal imbalances.

Hair fall due to hard water is common because excess calcium and magnesium make hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. These minerals can also leave residue on the scalp, leading to irritation and hair weakening. I recommend using a water softener or shower filter to reduce mineral buildup. Rinsing your hair with filtered or boiled water can help, and always follow with a gentle conditioner to maintain moisture. Avoid harsh shampoos or frequent chemical treatments, as they worsen damage. For persistent hair fall, a scalp evaluation can identify additional causes and guide targeted treatments.

Seasonal hair fall during monsoon is very common because high humidity weakens hair roots and promotes fungal growth on the scalp. To control this, keep your scalp clean by washing it regularly with a mild anti-dandruff or antifungal shampoo. Avoid leaving your hair damp for long periods, as wet scalp encourages infection and breakage. Use a light conditioner only on the lengths to manage frizz. Maintain a protein- and vitamin-rich diet, as nutrition plays an important role in hair strength. If hair fall seems excessive or continues even after the season, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation.

From what you describe, your hair fall seems linked to scalp oiliness and dandruff. When oil stays longer on the scalp, it can clog pores and increase fungal activity, which explains the itching and flakes. Simply rinsing with water won’t clean the scalp properly and causes dryness, which is why your hair becomes frizzy. I recommend using a mild anti-dandruff shampoo twice weekly, avoiding heavy oiling, and applying a conditioner on hair lengths only. Eating protein- and iron-rich foods will also help. If hair fall continues despite these measures, I suggest a scalp examination to rule out seborrheic dermatitis or nutritional deficiencies.

Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, walnuts, or flaxseeds reduce inflammation. Along with diet, using anti-dandruff shampoos regularly is important for long-term control.

After the first PRP session, temporary hair shedding is common as weak hairs fall out and new growth is stimulated. This phase typically improves within a few weeks and is a normal part of the process. However, stopping treatment midway may limit the effectiveness of PRP, as it generally requires multiple sessions for optimal results. Since you’re a teenager, it’s especially important to evaluate potential nutritional deficiencies or hormonal changes that could be affecting your hair health. Consult our experienced Hair Specialist before discontinuing treatment to ensure PRP is suitable for you at this stage and to explore the best course of action for your needs.

Exercise boosts blood circulation, reduces stress, and promotes hormonal balance, all of which indirectly support hair growth. However, exercise alone isn’t enough to prevent hair loss. For optimal hair health, pair regular workouts with a protein- and iron-rich diet, proper scalp care, and sufficient sleep. Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, and crash diets, as they can worsen shedding. Managing stress through activities like yoga or meditation can also help. If hair loss persists or becomes excessive, it’s important to consult a dermatologist to rule out genetic, nutritional, or medical causes and explore targeted treatment options. Healthy habits ensure healthier hair!

A fungal scalp infection, medically known as tinea capitis, requires prompt medical attention to prevent severe itching, persistent dandruff, and significant patchy hair loss. It’s crucial to start treatment early, which typically involves using specialized antifungal shampoos containing active ingredients like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione. For more severe or persistent cases, a doctor will likely prescribe oral antifungal medicines, as topical treatments alone may not fully eradicate the infection from the hair follicles. While undergoing treatment, it is vital to avoid scratching the scalp, as this can lead to skin damage and secondary bacterial infections. Similarly, avoid applying oils, which can trap moisture and worsen the fungal growth. With timely and appropriate treatment, the infection will clear, and hair regrowth typically follows. A dermatologist can provide an accurate diagnosis, often through a simple scalp examination or a fungal culture, and prescribe the most effective medication to resolve the issue.

Yes, rapid hair fall can often be directly linked to iron deficiency anaemia. Iron is crucial for producing haemoglobin, which carries oxygen to your hair follicles. When iron levels are low, this oxygen supply is reduced, weakening the hair roots and leading to excessive shedding. Along with prescribed iron supplements, it's vital to incorporate iron-rich foods into your diet, such as leafy greens, lentils, eggs, fortified cereals, and nuts. Ensuring adequate protein intake and consuming vitamins like C (which aids iron absorption) will also significantly support hair regrowth. If shedding persists despite treatment, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough scalp examination and further blood tests to rule out other potential contributing factors, such as thyroid issues or hormonal imbalances.

Hair fall due to hard water is common because excess calcium and magnesium make hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. These minerals can also leave residue on the scalp, leading to irritation and hair weakening. I recommend using a water softener or shower filter to reduce mineral buildup. Rinsing your hair with filtered or boiled water can help, and always follow with a gentle conditioner to maintain moisture. Avoid harsh shampoos or frequent chemical treatments, as they worsen damage. For persistent hair fall, a scalp evaluation can identify additional causes and guide targeted treatments.

Seasonal hair fall during monsoon is very common because high humidity weakens hair roots and promotes fungal growth on the scalp. To control this, keep your scalp clean by washing it regularly with a mild anti-dandruff or antifungal shampoo. Avoid leaving your hair damp for long periods, as wet scalp encourages infection and breakage. Use a light conditioner only on the lengths to manage frizz. Maintain a protein- and vitamin-rich diet, as nutrition plays an important role in hair strength. If hair fall seems excessive or continues even after the season, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation.

From what you describe, your hair fall seems linked to scalp oiliness and dandruff. When oil stays longer on the scalp, it can clog pores and increase fungal activity, which explains the itching and flakes. Simply rinsing with water won’t clean the scalp properly and causes dryness, which is why your hair becomes frizzy. I recommend using a mild anti-dandruff shampoo twice weekly, avoiding heavy oiling, and applying a conditioner on hair lengths only. Eating protein- and iron-rich foods will also help. If hair fall continues despite these measures, I suggest a scalp examination to rule out seborrheic dermatitis or nutritional deficiencies.

Yes, you can use oil, but remember that Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition, so oil alone cannot cure it. However, gentle oils may help improve scalp health. Coconut oil, castor oil, and rosemary oil are commonly recommended as they nourish the scalp, reduce dryness, and may support hair regrowth. Always do a patch test before applying and avoid harsh rubbing. For best results, continue your prescribed medical treatment and use oil only as a supportive care option.

It is normal for hair to grow back curly or frizzy after heavy hair fall or treatment. This happens because the hair roots sometimes change.

To manage it, use a gentle shampoo, good conditioner, and hair serum. Avoid too much heat styling and keep your hair well-nourished.

There is no medicine to make curly hair naturally straight again. If you want straight hair, salon options like keratin or smoothening can help, but results are temporary.

It’s normal to lose some hair every day, but if you’re noticing excessive hair fall like strands on your pillow, in the shower, or on your clothes, it may be a sign that your hair growth cycle is disrupted. On average, losing 50 to 100 strands a day is considered normal. Anything beyond that could indicate an underlying issue.

As a hair specialist, I explain to my patients that hair loss causes can include stress, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, scalp infections, or even genetic factors like androgenetic alopecia. Seasonal shedding and lifestyle factors such as crash dieting, lack of sleep, or excessive heat styling can also contribute.
You should start worrying when you see visible thinning on the scalp, widening of your hair parting, or if your hairline starts receding. Persistent shedding for more than a few weeks or a sudden increase in hair loss warrants a proper medical evaluation.
At HairMD Pune, we perform detailed scalp analyses and diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of excessive hair fall. Once we understand the reason, we customise treatments such as PRP therapy, mesotherapy, nutritional support, or hair growth medications to restore healthy hair density.

Dry, flaky patches with hair breakage could be due to dandruff, scalp eczema, or a fungal infection. The first step is to use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or salicylic acid twice a week. Avoid applying too much oil, as it can clog pores and increase fungal growth. Keep your scalp clean, and gently massage it while washing to remove flakes. Use a mild conditioner only on hair ends.
Ensure you eat foods rich in vitamins, zinc, iron, and biotin, as nutrition plays a key role in hair strength. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive heat, and tight hairstyles. If the scalp becomes red, itchy, or painful, visit a dermatologist — you may need prescription medication or antifungal treatment.

Yes, dandruff can contribute to temporary hair loss. When dandruff causes itching, frequent scratching damages hair follicles and weakens roots, leading to breakage and shedding. Additionally, the inflammation caused by fungal overgrowth or seborrhoeic dermatitis can affect scalp health and reduce hair growth. However, dandruff alone doesn’t cause permanent baldness — it just triggers shedding that stops once the scalp is treated.
Use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week and avoid oiling the scalp excessively. Keep your scalp clean, avoid harsh hair products, and eat a nutrient-rich diet. If hair fall continues despite treatment, it’s advisable to visit a dermatologist, as the cause might also include hormonal imbalance, stress, or nutritional deficiencies.

Tinea Capitis and Seborrhoeic Dermatitis both affect the scalp but have different causes.
Tinea Capitis is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes. It leads to round bald patches, itching, scaling, and sometimes pus-filled lesions. It is contagious and often affects children.
Seborrhoeic Dermatitis, on the other hand, is a non-contagious inflammatory condition caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast and excess sebum. It causes greasy flakes, redness, and itching, mainly on the scalp, face, and behind the ears.
Treatment differs — Tinea Capitis needs oral antifungal medication and medicated shampoos, while Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is treated with anti-dandruff shampoos, mild steroids, or antifungal lotions. Proper diagnosis by a dermatologist is essential to ensure correct treatment.

Early greying and dandruff in teenagers can happen due to stress, poor diet, genetics, or scalp issues. Dandruff occurs when the scalp produces excess oil or has fungal growth, while premature greying is linked to melanin loss. You can apply light oils like coconut or almond oil once or twice a week, but avoid leaving them overnight if dandruff is present, as it can worsen the flakes. Instead, use an anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole twice a week. Ensure your son’s diet includes iron, protein, vitamin B12, and biotin-rich foods. Regular scalp hygiene and stress control are important. If the greying continues or dandruff becomes severe, consult a dermatologist to rule out nutritional deficiencies or scalp infections.
