Can keratin cause hair loss?

Question

Recently, I got a keratin treatment done for my hair to make it smoother and more manageable. But in the last few weeks, I've noticed a lot more hair falling out than usual. Could the keratin treatment itself be causing this hair loss?

Meera Krishnan · Accepted Answer

Chemical keratin treatments can definitely cause hair fall because of the high heat and strong chemicals involved. Personally, I prefer using simple homemade curd and honey masks for shine. If your hair fall is very severe, please see a dermatologist instead of trying more parlor treatments.

Oh yes! Heavy chemical treatments can totally damage your roots and cause scary hair fall. 🙈 Try to focus on eating a protein-rich diet and keeping your scalp clean instead of going for harsh chemicals. Your natural hair is already beautiful!

I think feeding your hair from the inside is much better than coating it with chemical keratin. Give me a bowl of high-protein paneer or eggs any day over those expensive parlor sessions! When your nutrition is solid, your hair naturally stays strong.

I got a keratin treatment done last year and honestly, my hair started falling out in clumps after two months. The chemicals and intense flat ironing totally fried my roots. I had to completely stop all treatments and use gentle baby shampoo to recover my hair strength.

Before you spend 5000 rupees on a keratin treatment that might ruin your hair, spend 1000 rupees on a basic blood test for Iron, Vitamin D, and Thyroid. Most hair loss is actually caused by internal deficiencies rather than external products.
