It’s probably the most common concern for men not just in India but everywhere else in the world. Ask yourself – haven't you been worrying about losing your hair as well? Hair fall is a reality, and men spend most of their time thinking about it. And looking for shampoos, serums, supplements, whatever it takes to make it stop happening.
But unfortunately, there’s way too many products out there, and not enough clarity on the ones that actually work as opposed to the many others that usually don’t. Fortunately for you, though, we’re here to sort out your confusion and tell you which shampoos, serums and supplements to go for if you’re dealing with unwanted hair fall.
But before you get down to using any products, it’s important to understand the causes behind your hair fall. Here are the most common ones:
Emotional stress, fever, infections, surgery, or rapid weight loss can all lead to temporary hair shedding
Nutritional deficiencies, especially iron, vitamin D, B12, zinc and/or protein
Thyroid-related hormonal changes
Genetics
Scalp conditions such as dandruff, dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.
Reactions to medication
Frequent use of heat styling
Age
As you can see, certain causes are beyond your control (such as age and genetics) but a lot of the others can be addressed. What you need are the right kind of hair serums to nourish your scalp and hair follicles thereby promoting hair growth and strengthening and shampoos that thoroughly cleanse without damaging your hair or scalp.
A good hair serum will provide the right kind of nourishment to your hair follicles and scalp – this will help in promoting hair growth as well as strengthening the existing hair quality. You’ll also find your hair looking thicker and denser, which will also help improve the look and feel of your mane. These hair serums will cover all your hair fall-related needs.

Quite like a hair serum, a good shampoo too can work wonders for your hair and scalp. A good shampoo is packed with loads of hair-loving ingredients (biotin, keratine, amino acids, etc.) thereby helping with hair breakage and also improving your scalp health. Plus, it also fights dandruff, itchiness and lack of moisture, all of which contribute to hair loss.

Supplements are essential – your products can’t do all the work and you need to fix your nutrition from the inside to fix your hair and scalp condition. However, before you read any further, please do remember to consult an expert physician before getting on any supplement plan, as you have to ensure these are compatible with your body and its health. You must also get your vitamin levels and other vitals checked before consuming any supplements.
