Hi Roopashree,
I have always had long hair pre-marriage and post pregnancy.
However, since the last two years of working from home, I am experiencing heavy hair fall along with dry scalp.
I sleep 6-7 hours a day and drink plenty of water.
I have tried a lot of home remedies like fenugreek, onion, DIY oil using fenugreek, amla, hibiscus, aloe vera. There is temporary relief, but I need a long term solution.
What would be a safe and healthy haircare routine?

Ans: Internal changes in the body due to fluctuating hormone levels are one of the major causes of hair fall.
The past couple of years have been tough on everyone. Managing work and home further adds to one’s stress levels, therefore I recommend getting some basic hormonal tests done.
Continue taking external care like oiling to enhance growth. Comb your hair before sleeping for better circulation. You can use a neem comb; choose one with smooth edges as it is antiseptic.
Exercise for better circulation as well as balanced hormones.
For stress relief, practise Anulom Vilom 10-20 minutes during the day.
