I have very thin and short hair. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Short and thin hair might have many reasons, some common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal disturbance, stress, unhealthy lifestyle, and hereditary. Try to add foods like dates, raisins, figs, curry leaves, spinach, and fresh fruits to your diet, as all these will promote hair growth. Avoid excessive pickles, and spicy food, and reduce salt intake. Drink plenty of water and clear liquids. Drink one glass of lukewarm water mixed with a teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of pepper powder before sleeping. Massage your head with Mahabhringraj oil (Bhringaraja, Daruharidra, Turmeric) twice or thrice a week.

Apply oil at night before washing, or you can apply it two hours before washing. Do not use harsh shampoos, as they will dry the scalp and will lead to hair fall. Use mild herbal shampoos. If you have a dandruff problem, then try an anti-dandruff shampoo. Because dandruff also causes hair fall and promotes hair thinning. Take half a cup of pure aloe vera gel and add three tablespoons of coconut oil and two tablespoons of honey, mix all, and apply on the scalp for 30 minutes, then wash it off with a mild shampoo. You can use this mixture once or twice a week, and it will promote hair growth. As far as medicine is concerned, try to take two capsules of Asthiposhak (Kukkutandatvak bhasma, Asthisamhruta, Arjuna), two times a day with water for four weeks. Do not comb your hair when they are wet, and do not blow dry it. Protect your hair from pollution and sunlight. Sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours a day. Try all these regularly, and you will soon see positive results. However, this may take between 2 to 4 months. If you are in a hurry, then you can do a hair transplant, after consulting your dermatologist.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
