Hair fall and dandruff are two of the most common hair concerns faced by both men and women, especially in a city like Chennai, where humidity, pollution, and hard water can wreak havoc on your scalp. Whether it’s noticing more hair on your pillow or constant flaking on your shoulders, these signs can be both embarrassing and alarming. The good news? With the right care, lifestyle changes, and timely treatment, these issues are completely manageable.
Hormones are like the traffic police of your body, when they’re out of sync, chaos begins. Conditions like thyroid disorders, PCOS, or sudden hormonal shifts post-pregnancy or menopause can lead to excessive hair shedding. Women often notice sudden hair fall a few months after delivery or when starting/stopping birth control pills.
Your hair thrives on iron, vitamin D, B12, biotin, and protein. Lack of these nutrients can starve your follicles and cause hair fall. This is especially common for vegetarians or those on extreme diets.
Chronic illnesses like diabetes, autoimmune diseases (like alopecia areata), and treatments like chemotherapy can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle. Certain medications, including blood thinners, antidepressants, and even acne medications, can also trigger hair loss.
Remember, consistency is key with home remedies, and they work best for mild issues or as a supportive measure alongside professional care.

Chennai’s weather can be unpredictable, and when humidity drops or you’re exposed to too much AC, your scalp may become dry, flaky, and itchy.
A fancy term, but simply put, it’s when your scalp overproduces oil and creates greasy flakes. This is often triggered by stress, hormonal imbalances, or even harsh shampoos.
We get it, busy lives. But skipping washes for days? That’s a red carpet invitation for dandruff to take over.
Dandruff might seem harmless, but when ignored, it can lead to deeper scalp issues, and that’s when your hairline starts waving goodbye.
No worries, we’ve got scalp care that actually works.
Dandruff itself doesn’t directly cause hair to fall out like a haircut, but the itching, inflammation, and irritation that come with a flaky scalp can lead to hair damage. When you scratch your scalp vigorously to stop the itch, it can injure hair follicles, making strands weaker and more prone to falling out.
Washing hair every 2-3 days is ideal to prevent oil buildup without drying out your scalp. Overwashing can worsen dandruff by stripping natural moisture.
A diet rich in vitamins (like Biotin, Zinc, Vitamin D) strengthens hair and reduces scalp inflammation. Staying hydrated also keeps your scalp supple.
