Stress is vital in determinin­g hair condition. A poor hair care regime, climate changes, lifestyle and diet also contribute to loss of hair growth. It is very important to ascertain your hair type and look after it accordingl­y.

Hair fall can be distribute­d over the whole scalp or localised to certain areas of the scalp.

In some cases, alopecia is caused by bacterial infection or other pathogens while others may be attributed to severe systemic disease.

The hair root is the life source of hair therefore, root nourishmen­t is essential for healthy, strong and shiny hair.

“It’s difficult to change your eating habits, but you must. Instead of carbonated drinks with almost every meal, why not take fruit juice, soya milk or barley, which is not only nutritious but helps to reduce heat in the body,” advises Neeta.

“You may even need a blood test if you have an illness. Hairstylis­ts inexperien­ced with the physiology of hair health may recommend a perm for a temporary volumising effect.

“However, once it wears off you are left with visible gaps between the curls. Also, the highly concentrat­ed chemically active lotion used is detrimenta­l to hair follicles.”

Covering damp hair should be avoided because when the scalp eventually sweats, the dampness will

not only give off a bad odour but also attract fungi and bacteria. This may contribute to hair loss, dandruff and other scalp conditions.

Washing hair three times a week is sufficient for this hot and humid climate, but some people may need to wash daily using a mild shampoo. Use a conditione­r to replace moisture loss.

In some cases, hair fall appears to be common among male family members – such genetic disorders may be treated depending on the severity and whether the pores can still be activated.

A thorough consultati­on will provide a clear treatment path.

For premature greying, treatment should be done from the onset. Neeta advises refraining from pulling out grey hairs, as this form

of forceful removal seems to cause a chain reaction on other hair follicles – causing an increase in production of de-pigmented hair.

Frequent changing of shampoos, which are mostly detergent-based, should also be avoided. It is best to know your hair type before choosing hair products.
