I am 55 and losing hair. My hair at the crown tends to be brittle (the other areas tend to be much softer, especially the back).By being brittle, it broke off very easily. It really has been a struggle and it was probably was made worse by braiding. It started growing very slowly but stopped altogether. At the moment it is point something of an inch (almost no hair in the middle of the crown) In addition to that, I believe some of my problem could be the result of a nutritional imbalance as I went through a bit of financial crunch after the sudden death of my husband almost five years ago. Prior to his passing I had left my corporate job to start my own consultancy. What should I do?

Response from Ravi Bhanot:
This is what I think you should do:
1. Provoke the follicles by using the dermal roller every day and then applying the Nutrigro serum. The dermal roller costs £25 (or $40 US).
2. Use the Nutrigro Serum from roots to tips daily to make the hair less brittle. Use this on dry hair or after a shower. Please make sure that after showering you only pat dry your hair and not vigorously dry the hair.
3.The ideal shampoo to use is Nutrigro shampoo as it contains phytokeratin (what hair is made from) to make the hair look thicker and it has antibacterials to thoroughly clean the scalp.
4. To counteract the effects of a possible imbalance in oestrogen ( which is common in women 50 years+) and possible lack of essential proteins, vitamins and minerals take two capsules daily of Nutrigro Hair Food Plus. Take for 3 months to rebalance the nutritional and hormonal imbalance and then review.
5. Nutrition. Please focus on foods that ‘cool’ the body. Ayurvedically speaking we say the body’s ‘heat’ energy called Pitta is imbalanced. Cooling foods are like cucumber, salad and yoghurt. (You can read more on this in my book). A list of Pitta reducing foods is on our college website www.ayurvedainstitute.org under diet planning. Eat more of the foods that have a tick by them on the Pitta foods list.
