I'm living in Chennai and I'm worried about the water here since it's really salty and it seems to be affecting my hair a lot. I'm noticing that I'm losing about 50 strands every time I shower, and it's freaking me out because I didn't have this problem when I was back in my hometown. Plus, my scalp has been getting super itchy. Could you recommend a good shampoo for this situation? Also, any diet tips to help strengthen my hair would be great.

Minoxidil 5.. solution for local application is advised for 3-4 weeks, if any side-effects consult dermatologist.

If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals.

Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.
