Hair Loss due to Products Prescribed by Trichologist : Reader Query

hair loss due to prescribed products - reader query

Query:

Hi Lancy,

This is Zaara from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. I am 19 and I am a avid reader of your blog. Hair stories on this blog actually made me bold who was a silent sufferer in the past.

I had an oily scalp, very fine hair without any hair fall issues. Since my hair density was scanty on my scalp, I visited a trichologist who suggested me to use Triclenz shampoo and take Pro Anogen tablets orally; but to my displeasure, I started to loose strands of hair at an alarming rate and my scalp became extremely dry. I was shocked with the results and I visited the trichologist again. He gave me a Proanogen spray which made my hair even worse and my scalp started peeling. I immediately stopped using all the products and switched to my regular Dove shampoo. Scalp peeling has stopped completely but still I have hair fall and dry scalp since 6 months. Although I use herbal homemade packs and oils, my hair is not responding. Being blessed with beautiful tresses, I hope you can help me to tackle this battle.

How to Control Hair fall caused due to Rebonding? : Reader Query

hair fall after rebonding - reader query

Swati Saini’s Query:

Hello Lancy,

First of all, I love reading your blog. All the DIY recipes here are awesome and very practical. Keep it up! I have a queries about my hair. I have fine straight, a bit wavy hair. I got them rebonded 1 year back. And since then hair fall is a routine. I am trying my best to combat it and also grow my hair long so that rebonded hair can be replaced.

I use olive oil, castor oil and coconut oil mixed with few drops of essential oil twice weekly in hot oil massage. Currently I use The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture range for my hair. It is working fine but hair fall is still continuing.

Most of the hair fall occurs during oiling, shampooing and detangling. So could you suggest me some hair detangler or serum/oil which is silicone free. Most of the products have silicone but I am not sure if it is good or not. And also I would love to find out some cheaper alternative, which is also sls and silicone free.

Please reply. Thanks!

Skin Damaged due to Excessive Scrubbing : Read Query

Gujral’s Query:

Hi MABH readers,

My skin used to be glowing and smooth but due to sun tanning it turned dull. I used a homemade ubtan and it worked well. It cleared my blemishes and made my skin bright. After getting an advice from a friend, I scrubbed my skin for 10-12 minutes harshly while removing the ubtan. In few weeks, my skin turned very dull again. Now, my homemade ubtan recipe which consists of sandalwood powder, rose water and cream doesn’t work anymore! Is my skin dead? or damaged? Kindly let me know how can I get my original skin texture and complexion back. Thanks a lot in advance!

Best Day and Night Cream for Combination Skin – Reader Query

Harshita Panthwal asks..

Hi Lancy,

I am 26, wheatish complexion and have combination skin; T-zone is oily. My skin is very dull, uneven, no glow, unhealthy and having some dark spots too. Earlier I was using Fair and Lovely Fairness Cream for combination skin but recently purchased Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation Day Cream but hardly see any results hence really disappointed with this. Looking for a good brand day cream.

Since so many brands and many skin creams available in India, therefore I am confused which one I should go for that makes my skin fairer, even, glowy, smooth, supple and flawless.

Kindly suggest me some good brand day and night skin cream for combination skin (price is not the bar) . Btw, How is The Body Shop brand? Please suggest!
