IBNS-CMEDIA: Hair fall, itchy scalp and dandruff are some of the common issues people in the present time are struggling with and want to get rid of quickly.

Shampoos, hair oils that come on television or the suggestions of hair spas at salons are common ways sought by people who are suffering intensely from the hair related problems.

But doctors suggest the reason lies perhaps far beneath.

Recently in an interview with Hindustan Times, Dr. Mahnaz Jahan Begum, Celebrity Cosmetologist, Aesthetic Expert, Entrepreneur and Founder of Keradis in Kolkata, has provided some major causes of hair loss.

Scalp Conditions: Dandruff, itchiness, flakiness, and other scalp issues can contribute to hair loss.

Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal changes, particularly androgenetic alopecia, can lead to hair loss.

Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and biotin can affect hair growth.

Some of the tips given by Dr. Begum

  1. Regular scalp care: Maintain a routine that includes gentle cleansing and nourishing of the scalp.
  2. Balanced diet: Consume a diet rich in essential nutrients to support healthy hair growth.
  3. Stress management: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss; engage in activities like meditation, yoga, or exercise to manage stress.
