I'm using Cipla 8x shampoo and it's been great for my dandruff and hair fall for months, but now, all of a sudden, my hair is starting to fall again. I've been using it twice a week for nearly 8 months. Could the shampoo be losing its effectiveness with regular use? Or is using it twice a week too much? What should I do?

It's possible that the effectiveness of the shampoo may decrease over time with frequent use. In such cases, it's a good idea to switch to a different anti-dandruff shampoo for a while and then you can come back to using Cipla 8X shampoo later on.
