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.

Lotus Safe Sun Matte Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 Review

lotus matte sunscreen gel review

Before finding out this sunscreen product from Lotus my relationship with sunscreens were always of LOVE-HATE type. I could not live without them and using them was equally painful. Often I used to get breakouts on skin using sunscreens as most of them give oily sweaty skin. Also I hated the white cast left behind that took hours to go. Finally three years back before a trip to Andaman I came across this product in a shop when I was trying to find a decent sunscreen that will be helpful for the trip. The words ‘matte gel’ attracted me a lot and without giving a second thought, I bought the product. Since then, for the last three years it is one of my most loyal friends. Read more to know why?

Price : Rs 395 for 100 g

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!

Johnson’s Baby Skincare Wipes Review

johnsons baby skincare wipes review

Hi friends!

I am back with my second product review. This wipes are my best friends since I got into college and I cannot stop admiring them. Skin wipes become your skin’s best friend once you start travelling daily (going to office or college). There are so many good skin wipes available in Indian market these days. But sadly none of them were suitable for my skin. I did not like the soapy feelings left on the face after using most of the products. I felt the urge of washing off the face with water even after using the wipes and then what is the purpose of using them at all? When I saw the advertisement of this product, I was ready to give a try. I felt that a baby product has to be mild for the skin and hoped it will be better than the rest.

Price : Rs.65 for 20 pieces; Rs.190 for 80 pieces

Skin Damaged due to Excessive Scrubbing : Read Query

mabh reader 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!
