Hello doctor,
I have bleached my hair three times this year and have suffered a great deal of hair loss. My hair has been breaking very often and it has come to shoulder length. I have not used anything as yet as I am too afraid that it may get worse. The shampoo and conditioner that I use are called Elvive. I also tried oiling my hair using coconut oil and amla oil but I am unable to see any results. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It's very sad to hear that you are going through this hair problem. Bleaching can make hair weak and thinner. It is temporary, and that is the good news. To regain hair strength, you need to have hair nutrients. Eat protein-rich food, eggs, chicken, fish, milk, curd, and lentils. This is because hair is made up of a protein called keratin. So you need to add more protein to your diet. This helps to strengthen your hair. Start taking hair vitamin supplements that contain biotin, calcium, selenium, zinc, iron, and pantothenate. This helps to grow new hair. I would like to mention a few hair care tips here.
1. Never comb your hair when it is wet.
2. Do not use a hair dryer much.
3. Avoid hot iron hair straighteners.
4. Use a comb that has a wide space between each tooth, and the tip should be blunt.
5. Wash your scalp on alternate days.
6. Do not tie a high-tight pony.
