1.Hair fall causes and diet – Most hair fall happens due to nutritional deficiencies like iron, vitamin D, biotin, protein, stress, dandruff, or hormonal imbalance. Include protein rich foods like eggs, pulses, nuts, fish, and green leafy vegetables daily. Adding almonds, walnuts, and sprouts regularly helps hair roots become stronger.

2.Supplements – A simple multivitamin with biotin, iron, and vitamin D taken regularly after consulting a doctor works very well for hair growth. Omega 3 from fish oil or flaxseed oil is also useful for scalp health.

3.Hair care routine – Use a mild anti hair fall shampoo like ketoconazole or caffeine based two to three times a week. Avoid frequent straightening, coloring, or heat styling. Regular oil massage with coconut or argan oil improves scalp blood circulation and strengthens roots.

4.Skin brightening and glow – Your skin looks dull mainly due to dehydration, irregular sleep, and lack of sun protection. Drink two to three liters of water daily, sleep seven to eight hours, and never skip sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. For brightening, creams containing vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid are safe and effective when used daily.

5.Daily skincare steps – Gentle cleanser twice a day, sunscreen every morning, vitamin C serum or cream in the morning, niacinamide or kojic acid cream at night. Over four to six weeks, this reduces marks, improves glow, and evens skin tone.

6.When to consult – If hair fall continues for more than three months, or if you see visible scalp thinning, you may need blood tests for thyroid, iron, vitamin D, and Hb levels and personalized treatment by a dermatologist.

Hello,

I understand your concern about hair fall and skin darkening. Both are common but manageable with proper care. Let me help by telling you what you can apply, also there are some brand suggestions from my side.

For Hair Fall:

Use a mild anti-hair fall shampoo (e.g., Ketoconazole 2% twice weekly, mild protein shampoo otherwise).

Oil scalp 1–2 times a week with coconut / argan oil (avoid heavy daily oiling).

Eat a protein-rich diet (milk, eggs, dal, nuts, green leafy vegetables).

Supplements: Tab Biotin + Tab Multivitamin daily for 3 months.

For Skin Brightening:

Daily sunscreen (SPF 30 or above).

Use a gentle face wash (Cetaphil/Olay).

Night cream: Niacinamide 5% or Vitamin C serum (e.g., Minimalist / DermaCo / Plum).

For uneven tone or dullness, a dermatologist-prescribed depigmenting cream may be needed.

Lifestyle:

Sleep 7–8 hrs daily, avoid stress.

Stay hydrated (2–3 L water/day).

Avoid smoking, excess tea/coffee, and junk food.

If the hair fall is severe and skin darkening is sudden, kindly consult a Dermatologist/Family Physician.

Feel free to reach out.
