Stop Hair Fall: Choose the Right Shampoo for a Healthy Scalp

• Using the wrong shampoo can worsen hair fall by drying out hair, irritating the scalp, and increasing breakage.
• Dr. Abhishek Pilani emphasizes choosing shampoo based on scalp type, not just hair type, to reduce damage.
• Shedding (hair from root) is often due to internal factors, while breakage (hair snaps) is linked to hair dryness, processing, or harsh cleansers.
• Identify your scalp type (oily, dry, sensitive, dandruff-prone) to select a suitable shampoo; avoid strong fragrances for sensitive scalps.
• Avoid frequent use of strong cleansing shampoos as they strip natural oils, leading to irritation and worsened hair fall; consult a dermatologist if severe hair fall persists.

Why It Matters: Selecting the correct shampoo based on your scalp type is crucial to prevent and manage hair fall effectively.
