F23 What actually helped reduce my hair fall?
I was oiling regularly, using a mild shampoo, not heat styling. Still losing way more hair than felt normal.
Went and got basic blood test done. Turns out my Vitamin D and Iron were both low. Classic.
What I did after:
1)Started spending 20 mins outside every morning for natural sunlight
2)Added more iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils and seeds
3)Started a Biotin and Multivitamin combo from Carbamide Forte to cover the gaps
4)Switched to a sulfate free shampoo using Mamaearth's Onion shampoo which a lot of people recommended
5)Reduced washing my hair daily to every alternate day
It's been about 2 months. Hair fall has visibly reduced. Not zero, but nowhere near what it was.
If you're dealing with this, get bloodwork done first. That changed everything for me.
