I have been experiencing moderate hair fall recently. Although I can see new baby hairs growing, they are rough, curly, and tend to stand up. Even after applying oil or serum, their texture does not improve. What could be causing this, and how can I manage it?
Moderate hair fall may be caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or scalp conditions. The baby hairs you notice are often newly regrowing strands, which can appear rough, curly, or frizzy because they are thinner and still developing. Changes in hair texture may also be influenced by factors such as scalp dryness, reduced natural oil production, or damage to hair follicles. Oils and serums may not fully smooth them, as the hair shaft is still immature. Focus on a balanced diet rich in protein, iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamin D, along with good hydration, to support healthier hair growth. Use a gentle shampoo, condition regularly, and avoid excessive heat or chemical treatments. If hair fall continues beyond a few months or increases, please consult a doctor to rule out underlying causes, such as thyroid problems or nutritional deficiencies.
