Hair Fall: Causes, Salon Treatments and a Simple Care Routine That Works

Shedding 50 to 100 strands a day is normal. When you start noticing clumps on your pillow, in the shower drain or on your comb, it is time to look at the cause and give your scalp some focused care.

Common causes of hair fall

• Stress and poor sleep – can push hair follicles into the resting phase early.
• Nutrition gaps – low iron, protein, vitamin D or B12 often show up as thinning.
• Scalp build-up and dandruff – clogged follicles and itching weaken roots.
• Heat and chemical damage – frequent straightening, colouring or harsh bleaching leads to breakage.
• Hormonal changes – after pregnancy, thyroid issues or PCOS.
• Tight hairstyles – tight ponytails and buns pull on the hairline.

Salon treatments that help

1. Anti hair-fall hair spa

A deep-cleansing scalp treatment followed by a nourishing mask and head massage. The massage improves blood circulation and the mask strengthens the hair shaft so it breaks less.

2. Scalp detox / exfoliation

Removes product build-up, excess oil and dead skin so follicles can breathe. Ideal if you use a lot of styling products or have an oily scalp.

3. Protein and repair treatments

Rebuild damaged, brittle lengths. These reduce breakage, which is often mistaken for hair fall.

What happens during the session

1. The stylist checks your scalp and hair condition and asks about your routine.
2. Scalp cleanse with a clarifying or anti hair-fall shampoo.
3. Serum or ampoule applied to the scalp, followed by a 10–15 minute massage.
4. Mask on the lengths, steamed for 10–20 minutes to help absorption.
5. Rinse, light conditioning and blow-dry.

Most sessions take 45–75 minutes.

Precautions

• Tell your stylist about allergies, scalp wounds, psoriasis or recent chemical services.
• Avoid very hot steam if you have a sensitive scalp.
• If hair fall is sudden, patchy or very heavy, see a dermatologist – a salon treatment supports scalp health but does not replace medical diagnosis.

Maintenance at home

• Use a mild, sulphate-free shampoo 2–3 times a week.
• Oil the scalp lightly 1–2 hours before washing, not overnight every day.
• Use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair and never rub hair with a towel.
• Limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant.
• Eat enough protein, leafy greens, nuts and seeds; drink plenty of water.
• Repeat an anti hair-fall spa every 2–4 weeks for 3 months to see real change.
