Hair Care

Those school bags, uniforms, mud-filled socks and shoes, assignment sheets, calendar days are back, dear Mummies and Daddies!  You are going back to the days of nightmares after a short haul called summer vacation. Settled? It’s been invariably a week that schools have reopened across the nation and as the ‘ Hair doctors to the Nation ,’ we feel, it’s essential to talk about your ward’s hair care programme as he/she is back in his uniform and back in action. Pardon us for the next few scary words.  Alopecia Areata ,  Tinea Capitis ,  Traction Alopecia ,  Trichotillomania ,  Telogen Effluvium . These are some of the abnormal  hair loss  conditions that can twist not just your tongue but also your child’s smile, the inverted way, from 🙂 to 🙁 You wouldn’t want that, and we understand your concerns. Hence we would want you to know a bit more about each of these hair conditions so that you can protect and save your child every time by  reachin...

It seemed like just another day when the team sat down to brainstorm on the next topic for the blog.  We browsed through our content bank and one by one, our group members started to shoot topics that had the potential to serve our readers with what they were looking for in hair and scalp segment.

Thank God that your hair is shiny and silky. Who cares about the length, gals? My problem is this sticky sticky feeling. Phew! This oily hair is so very….. Huh! Keerthi:  Lo! Iss Priya ka problem oily hair hai toh mera problem dry hair! Saisha:  Arey Keerthi, you at least have something on your head to complain of dryness. Look at me. Damaged and so thin. Grrrhhhh! Kya karoon, samajh hi nahi aa raha! That’s an excerpt from our lunch-table conversation yesterday. That’s also the trigger point for this blog piece. Aren’t such hair talks, relatable in our lives too? Jessie & Rubina, Meena au...
