Our dermatologists share practical, science-based tips to help you manage common hair and scalp concerns. From battling summer frizz to preparing for your clinic visit, find reliable answers here.

Frizzy hair in the summer? Dr. Vindhya shares three expert tips to keep your hair smooth, including using hydrating shampoos, applying a leave-in conditioner with SPF, and using a serum on your hair lengths.

Does coloring your hair cause it to turn gray? In this video, one of our doctors debunks this common myth, explaining that graying is a natural aging process and using high-quality dye correctly does not accelerate it.

Are you making these common mistakes that cause dandruff? Our expert explains why not washing your scalp enough, washing with only water, and applying oil to a dirty scalp can actually make dandruff worse.

During monsoon season, it's important to avoid certain hair care mistakes. We advise against styling damp hair, skipping regular trims, and choosing tight hairstyles that can lead to breakage and scalp issues.

Can your diet influence your hair? Is it okay to pop a pimple? Our doctor answers some of the most frequently asked questions about skin and hair, providing clear, expert advice you can trust.

To make the most of your dermatologist visit, we recommend three must-dos. Know your skin and hair type, bring previous prescriptions, and arrive with bare skin and hair for an accurate assessment.

About Expert Advice on Hair & Scalp Care

We often see patients struggling with persistent dandruff because they apply oil to an already oily or dirty scalp, which effectively feeds the fungus rather than clearing it. Washing your scalp at least every other day is the first practical step to clearing those flakes, well before you consider any medical-grade peels or scalp detox treatments.

I was happy to share my expertise on scalp health in The Times of India. A healthy scalp is crucial for hair growth, and this article explains the direct connection. If you are struggling with hair issues, understanding your scalp is the first step.
An unhealthy scalp will give you clear signs like itchiness, flakes, redness, or excessive oiliness. These are often caused by over-washing, harsh products, stress, or hormonal changes. Recognizing these signs is the first step to seeking the right treatment.
Improving your scalp health is manageable with the right routine. I recommend using a gentle shampoo regularly, exfoliating with a scalp scrub once a week to remove buildup, and keeping the scalp hydrated with non-clogging serums.

Heat styling is a major cause of hair damage and color fading. I recommend using a heat protectant spray before using any styling tools and opting for air-drying whenever possible to maintain your hair's health.4
Proper conditioning is essential for healthy hair, especially after chemical treatments. Always use a hydrating conditioner on the lengths and tips of your hair, not the scalp, to lock in moisture and keep it smooth.
Washing your hair every day can strip it of natural oils and cause your color to fade faster. For most people, washing two to three times a week is sufficient, and you can use a dry shampoo in between if needed.
Protecting your hair from the sun and pool is crucial. UV rays can fade hair color, so I advise wearing a hat outdoors. Rinsing your hair before and after swimming also helps reduce damage from chlorine.
