Q 1: I am a 32 years old house wife. I am suffering from abnormal hair fall for the last one year. I have tried many products like shampoos, oils & medicines without any result. Please help me.

Shahnaz Answers: Some of the reasons for hair loss are dandruff, stress, thyroid imbalance, illness, nutritional deficiencies, hair damage caused by repeated dyeing, colouring, perming, straightening. Post-pregnancy hair loss is also common. So, you can try to identify the cause in your case. You can try using Shatone. It should be applied on the scalp daily at night, using cotton wool. Leave on overnight. Avoid head massage. If there is hair loss, the roots are already weak and massage may aggravate the problem. You can have henna treatments once a week, but make sure that it is good quality henna. For your home use you can use Shahenna shampoo mixed with 2 teaspoons Sharinse. Use less shampoo and rinse well with water. Include sprouts in your daily diet and ask your doctor to prescribe vitamin and mineral supplements. Also check with your doctor about a thyroid imbalance, which can be determined by a simple blood test and can be treated by medication.

Q 2: Hi Shahnazji
I was wondering if you could help me. Last year I suffered from a horrid spot on my nose, it got infected and when it eventually scabbed over I picked off the scab too early. This resulted in a small indentation on my noise and an extremely large open pore. Is there anyway at all in tightening this?? I have used no end of products, pore tightener stips etc and none have managed to close it. PLEASE HELP

Shahnaz Answers: The infection and picking off the scab seem to have destroyed the inner layers of the skin on the area. That is why the remedies have not helped. You can mix Shagrain with Sharose and apply on the area. Rub gently on the skin. Leave it on till it dries and wash off with water. Apply Shatex on the area and wash it off when it dries. Failing these, you can try Vegetable Peel, which is a clinical treatment, or consult a plastic/cosmetic surgeon.

Q 3: hi shahnaz ji,
My question can I apply "SHALOCKS" daily or I should apply night before washing. Reply me soon. Thanks in advance.

Shahnaz Answers:Shalocks can be applied once or twice a week, the night before your shampoo. Shatone, which is a herbal hair tonic is for daily use.

Q 4: Greetings of the day I am a 23 years-old boy putting-up in Delhi. I am having hair-related problem. I have wavy hair, but I want straight hair. Actually a few days back, I went to a saloon & got my hair straightened, but it lasted only for a day. Can you please suggest me some good hair-straightening cream.

Skand Khurmi

Shahnaz Answers: We do not offer chemical procedures for hair straightening. You can visit another men's salon and have rebonding or relaxing done. The effect will last longer and then you will have to straighten it again. I hope you know that repeated straightening can cause hair damage. We have hair dressing gels, but no hair straighteners.

Q 5: Hello mam, I have some pimple marks on my face and my skin is normal. Can you please tell me a solution for removing these marks because they look really bad.

Shahnaz Answers: After cleansing, mix Shagrain with Sharose. Apply it on the marks and rub gently on the skin, washing it off with water. If the marks are dark, apply Shafair on them in the evening. Do not expose the skin to the sun after applying Shafair. At night, after cleansing, apply Shablem on the marks and rub it into the skin and leave it on overnight.
