1) Dr. Fred advises people who are witnessing serious hair fall to refrain from using anti-dandruff shampoos too frequently.
“Anti-dandruff shampoos damage hair roots and shafts and makes your hair gray early. For the people living in high humidity areas, using anti-dandruff shampoo once a week is normal and for those living in colder areas, antidandruff shampoo once in a month is sufficient,” he said

2) Frequent hair colouring also leads to hair fall. Fred says that it is necessary to keep a gap of at least two months between two hair colourings to give it a chemical free time.
3) Fred says that only one treatment should be applied on hair at one time. Suppose if you want to hair your colour, then delay the straightening process for about 15 days.
