The keratin problems
Our hair, that is so dear to most of us, is actually nothing but the dead cells of the body. The scalp, as we commonly call the bare head that holds the cuticles of the hair, is very sensitive to the weather, in many of our cases. That is why many off us suffer from problems of dandruff, hair fall and premature loss of hair.
Premature loss of hair mainly has hereditary reasons. It may also be caused by certain diseases. There is no prevention of this. The only cure can only be prescribed by a dermatologist. Moisturizing the scalp with oil or moisturizer helps in preventing dandruff as the dryness of scalp is prevented. Use of shampoos like “keratinase” prevents dandruff. Hair fall is also a result of an improper diet. A nutritious diet and drinking of plenty of water is required to stop hair fall to a certain extent.
