Expert suggests gentle care for healthier hair

Hair breakage can be addressed with effective treatments, according to dermatologist Dr. Nirupama Parwanda. She recommends gentle hair care, avoiding harsh chemicals like sulfates and alcohol, and limiting heat styling to prevent further damage. A balanced diet is also important. Dr. Parwanda suggests including protein, vitamins, and minerals in your meals, staying hydrated, and checking for nutrient deficiencies that may contribute to hair issues. For those experiencing patterned hair loss, topical treatments like minoxidil and in-clinic therapies such as Growth Factor Concentrate and Platelet-Rich Plasma can promote hair health and regrowth.
