Abstract

Hair is the essential part of the human personality and a leading essential for self confidence and self esteem. To guard against its loss has ever been an important aspect. Alopecia is common problem in youngsters specially these days. The current study has been designed to survey and analyze some renowned market products which usually claim to stop or reduce hair fall to a good level. We have audit their active ingredients and researched to the account of their sudden downfall in market and reduced demand. Survey has been performed on different age groups to check and determine that which hair fall solution or treatment is on its peak and if it’s effective in a way that what these products are claiming for. The survey has been conducted on a population of 200 people of different age groups including male and females (n=200). A statistical analysis is performed between effectiveness of different hair fall treatments. From the results of survey, here we can conclude that vitamins and protein tablets are the most adequate therapy for the hair fall instead of shampoos and different other medications. Herbal oils are more effective rather than medicinal or hair fall solution products because these solutions include hazardous chemical agent which somehow manages hair fall but effects natural growth process of hairs (hair regrowth cycle) and hence leads to hair fall again.
