Having greater than normal hair fall due to medical operations

It is normal to have hairfall of 50-100 strands a day but I think mine is more. I had hair fall at 18 but my hairfall now is worse. I had 2 medical operations. Could the drugs be the reason?

If you have suffered through two medical operations and have taken exceptionally large amounts of medication, then it is indeed possible that you are suffering from greater than normal hair fall due to this reason. However, if you are off those drugs, you can go about taking positive steps to ensure that your hair fall reduces to some degree. The way to achieve this is to ensure that your hair is healthy and week kempt at all times. In particular, if you are also suffering from dandruff, this is an indication that you need to pay more attention to your hair care regimen. You should follow a routine of applying hair oil to your hair at least twice a week. Use warm oil of coconut, almond, lavender or olive oil and gently massage this into your scalp for about 20 minutes. This will encourage hair growth since the massage process will also help by improving your circulation. Better blood circulation in the scalp will also relax you. Try to leave the hair oil on for about two hours before washing it off with shampoo. You should also be using a shampoo that is specially formulated for your hair type. Avoid using an anti dandruff shampoo, as these are of no particular use in controlling your dandruff. Most of the chemicals found in anti dandruff shampoos are only useful as long as they are on your scalp and hair. They generally tend to lose their effectiveness once they are washed off.

Instead, try using a natural and organic shampoo that has been specially formulated for your hair type. Remember also that a clean scalp is usually a healthy one. If you need to, wash your hair everyday to maintain a clean scalp. Please do not go by the myth that washing hair everyday is "bad for your hair". This is simply not correct. Instead, keep in mind that some hair types need extra care and shampooing is just one of the ways to provide it. In order to check dandruff, the best solution is to take a fresh lime half and scrub your scalp with it. This will sting your scalp to begin with, but after repeated usage, the sting will also go away. Use each time after you have applied oil and you will notice the reduction in dandruff within a week. You should also try to avoid combing your hair when wet to prevent hair fall.
