    Can Moringa Control Hair Loss? | Insights from Dr. John Watts

    Do Moringa leaves do any good to control hair loss or help in controlling baldness? Are they really good for hair growth and baldness control as is being touted? 👉Hair Transplant Result — Before & After Photos👈 👉Watch Full Video 👈 👉Get consultation with Dr John Watts — Hair Transplant Surgeon👈 This educational video by Dr John Watts, noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons, explores the miracle nature of Moringa leaves and Moringa oil. Special Features: Moringa Moringa leaves come with several benefits that are known to boost hair growth and prevent hair fall. “It has both anti-ageing and anti-oxidant properties that are hair-friendly,” says Dr John Watts. This is not all as the nutrient-rich Moringa is known to be enriched with essential amino acids and contain 7 times more vitamin C than oranges, 4 times more calcium than milk and 4 times beta carotene than carrot. Endowed with vitamin A and vitamin B, Moringa is known to make hair cells stronger and promote its growth cycle. “It is a rich source of vitamin C that helps in not only countering the damaging effect of free radicals but also repairing the damage,” said Dr John Watts. The Moringa is also a good source of iron that helps in carrying more oxygen to the hair and zinc that promotes hair growth and controls hair loss. Moringa Oil: Benefits Moringa oil is derived from Moringa plant/leaves that contain zinc, silica, vitamin A and antioxidants. “The oil keeps the hair shiny and conditioned,” said Dr John Watts, adding that the zinc, silica and vitamin A prevent clogging of the sebaceous gland and help in the continued production of sebum. Often one notices how deficiency of vitamin A make the scalp dry but regular use of Moringa oil to massage the scalp and prevent this problem. “Moringa oil can keep the scalp tissue soft,” informed Dr John Watts. He added that vitamin B, C, E and iron-rich Moringa oil also help in maintaining blood circulation to the hair roots. Moringa Oil: Application The best way to use Moringa oil is through regular massaging the scalp twice or thrice a week. “Once the massaging is done, one can tie a towel or a cloth on one’s scalp for an hour and then rinse it with shampoo. It will ensure the scalp absorbs the oil,” informed Dr John Watts. Regular use of Moringa oil also helps keep dandruff away, control split ends and the scalp smooth. In his concluding note, Dr John Watts, however, mentioned that the use of Moringa oil cannot help one to regain hair at baldness spots. “The only solution for baldness is a hair transplant,” he said while urging the viewers to share the video among their friends for awareness.

  2. Does Hair Gel & Hair Wax Damage Your Hair? | Know from the Best Trichologist in Hyderabad | Dr John Watts

    Does Hair Gel & Hair Wax Damage Your Hair? | Know from the Best Trichologist in Hyderabad | Dr John Watts

    We have become too visually conscious these days sporting trendy beards and uber-cool hairstyles, thanks to the selfie culture popularised by Instagram. In this craze, many youngsters get tempted to experiment with various types of chemical-laced hair gels and hair wax brands available for men to get that perfect look to click those jaw-dropping selfies. But does such use of hair gels and hair wax damage your hair? Does it lead to hair fall or eventually lead to baldness? In this educational video, noted hair transplant expert in Hyderabad Dr John Watts, who has performed over 1800+ hair and beard hair transplants, explores these questions in detail and tries to provide scientific reasoning on their usage and adverse impact. “The treatment for baldness in a hair transplant. That’s the only option for those who are bald but those who still have hair need to be cautious and resist the temptation of using whatever hair gels or hair wax available in the market,” urges Dr John Watts. Alcohol-based Hair Gels: In the video, Dr John Watts mentions that most hair gels available in the market are alcohol-based. Though it does not directly lead to baldness, excessive and unscientific use may indirectly hasten hair fall, resulting in patches of baldness on the scalp. When it comes to the way one applies hair gel, Dr John Watts says that direct application on the scalp and hair roots can be counterproductive. “There are chances for hair damage if hair gel is directly applied on the scalp. One has to apply them carefully on the hair using two fingers,” he explains. The adverse impact one can notice through excessive use of hair gels could often lead to drying up of the scalp and build-up of flaky substances, making one’s scalp rough and frizzy hair. “If the hair gel contains minoxidil as an ingredient, they are good for your hair as they lead to hair growth. However, using purely alcohol-based may lead to hair breakage in course of time,” explains Dr John Watts. Is Hair Wax Better: Use of hair wax seems to be comparatively better than hair gel, says Dr John Watts, who is known for his straight and plain talk on matters of hair transplant solutions among his followers. “If you are determined to use hair gel and hair wax for enhancing your visual aesthetics for an important event or occasion, then opt for the latter as the best possible option. This is because hair wax comes with minimal alcohol percentage and cause less damage to hair in the long run,” says Dr John Watts. However, hair wax brands are known to be costly when compared to hair gels and their effect does not last long. Hair Dryer as Alternative: Instead of hair gels or hair wax, there is one more alternative that one can still use and get more or less the same visual impact using a hairdryer and a comb, points out Dr John Watts while signing off. “Using a comb and hairdryer combo one can style hair. However, always try to maintain 15–20 cm distance while using a hairdryer,” says Dr John Watts.

  3. Is Whey Protein Good for Hair? | Best Hair Specialist in Hyderabad Explains Why

    Is Whey Protein Good for Hair? | Best Hair Specialist in Hyderabad Explains Why

    Is Whey protein supplement good for hair growth? Can it prevent hair loss? Does it do any good to women’s health or does it affect men’s sexual health? 👉Hair Transplant Result — Before & After Photos👈 👉Watch Full Video 👈 👉Get consultation with Dr John Watts — Hair Transplant Surgeon👈 These are some common queries encountered by doctors, nutritionists, gym trainers and hair experts’ hair experts from different people ranging from health fanatics and hair loss patients. In this educational video, well-known trichologist and dermatologist Dr John Watts — one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in Hyderabad — simplifies this confusion and tells viewers what they need to know about Whey protein. General Advisory: Before going into the details, Dr John Watts cautions viewers not to take nutritious supplement consumption lightly as doing it without consulting either a nutritionist or an expert would be counterproductive. “If you have health goals, that’s good. But do not consume supplements without first consulting your nutritionist or your doctor,” says Dr John, who has performed over 1900+ hair and beard hair transplants successfully. Who needs Whey Protein? In general, bodybuilders need supplements to grow lean muscles or those looking for weight gain. But it is also regarded as good for hair growth as this protein helps prevent hair loss. “Whey protein comes from milk. It is extracted from the watery liquid found in the milk. Whey protein is of three types,” adds Dr John Watts. Whey Protein: Types The three different types of Whey Protein are: Whey Protein Concentrate Whey Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Hydrolysate Of the three, Protein Hydrolysate is regarded as the best one with 95% protein content while Whey Protein Concentrate is known to have the least protein content ranging from 58 to 89 per cent. “In research studies, Whey protein has not been linked to hair loss in any way yet. It is just a myth,” he says, adding Whey protein to be good for hair. Skin Elasticity Whey protein may make your skin get that shine and help keep it young and strong as collagen, the structural tissue that gives skin elasticity, may get a boost with a protein supplement. The scalp skin too would benefit from making it healthy and ensuring blood supply to hair follicles. Whey Protein Overuse: Disadvantages: While it has several benefits, excessive intake of Whey Protein above the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) of protein may backfire. “Two servings of Whey Proteins (which can be mixed with water or milk) is generally considered normal but taking it above the requirements may bring a lot of disadvantages,” warns Dr John Watts. That’s why he insists on nutritionist advice for fixing the quantity of Whey protein that one may take based on one’s body weight. The following are the adverse side-effects one may experience if one consumes excess Whey protein: “It is ok for other health goals but not exclusively for hair,” he says, while urging the viewers to share the video among their friends for awareness and leave their valuable feedback in the comments section.

    Can Adivasi Hair Oil Prevent Baldness & Regrow Hair? | Best Trichologist Explains

    There is much hype about Adivasi hair oil and how it can help hair regrowth and prevent baldness. But, is there any scientific basis to it? Can they prevent baldness as it is claimed? 👉Hair Transplant Result — Before & After Photos👈 👉Watch Full Video 👈 👉Get consultation with Dr John Watts — Hair Transplant Surgeon👈 Can you get dense and long hair on bald spots using Adivasi or tribal hair oil? In this educational video, Dr John Watts — noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons — demystifies Adivasi hair oil for the viewers of his popular YouTube channel. He has successfully performed over 1900+ hair transplants. Special Features: Adivasi Oil In his introductory note, Dr John Watts tells the viewers that castor oil is the main ingredient in what is usually referred to as Adivasi or tribal hair oil that has been traditionally used in the tribal region. So, what’s castor oil so special? Here are its main features: Healing Properties: The main ingredient found in castor oil is Ricinoleic acid, which is known to have healing properties that help in hair regrowth. “The oil is usually sticky and helps in clearing the toxin deposit on the scalp,” said Dr John Watts. Castor oil has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps in unclogging clogged pores on the scalp Omega Fatty Acid: Castor oil also contains Omega Fatty Acid that helps in hair regrowth. The Omega Fatty Acid also repairs hair cells, repairs it, provides nourishment and makes the hair thick & strong. Soft & Shiny: Castor oil helps in making the hair soft and shiny as the oil has the unique ability to absorb moisture from the air. “This helps in coating the hair and it becomes soft and shiny,” explained Dr John. How to use Castor Oil? There are two ways of using castor oil. One is plain oil that can be used for gentle massaging. The second way is to use it by adding further elements to castor oil that can be homemade. “Take two spoonfuls of castor oil and add an egg yolk to it. Add a cup of honey and one spoonful of water. Mix them well and apply them to the hair and scalp. Keep it on the scalp for 30–40 minutes and cover your scalp with a shower cap,” informed Dr John Watts. After the waiting period, he tells the viewers that the scalp has to be rinsed with a proper shampoo. “Use this mix once a week and it would make your hair healthy,” said Dr John. This oil mix nourishes the hair properly as it contains vitamin A & D along with pantothenic acid that helps the hair to become shiny and soft. Which Castor Oil to Buy? For best results, Dr John Watts suggests the viewers buy cold-pressed castor oil and not go for regular oil that is processed and produced using high temperatures. “Always prefer unrefined castor oil that is cold-pressed as nutrients are destroyed in castor oil prepared using high temperature,” informed Dr John Watts.

    Can Washing Hair with Hot Water Cause Baldness? | Dr. John Watts Explains

    #AskDrJohnWatts Many viewers following Dr John Watts’ popular YouTube channel videos leave several queries related to hair transplant, hair growth and hair loss for him to answer. While it is not possible to answer all the questions, Dr John Watts picks up a few questions in this educational video. With over 1900+ hair transplants, Dr John Watts is a noted trichologist, dermatologist and one of the top hair transplant experts in Hyderabad known for his straight talk on different aspects of hair transplants. PR Rooster asks: I want to use hair fibre, but can it be the cause of hair fall or damage my existing hair? Are there any side effects to its use? In general, the use of hair fibre is meant for those who have thinning hair. The hair fibre gives perfect cover for those with thinning hair but is not known to leave any adverse side effects. “Allergic reactions to using of the hair fibre is very rare. Generally, they are perfectly safe,” informs Dr John. However, Dr John Watts urges hair fibre users to follow certain safety cautions. “If one has used hair fibre all the day, it is always better to wash it in the evening as unwashed hair fibre can block the pores of the scalp and affect the blood supply. They also accumulate the oil,” says Dr John Watts. Naveen G asks: Sir, in one video you said we must consume eggs for hair growth, while in another video you said one should avoid eggs. Which is correct? In his response, Dr John Watts reiterates that eggs are good sources of protein and protein is good for hair. “What I might have said is that one must avoid eating raw eggs,” clarifies Dr John. Known to be a fad among bodybuilders, Dr John Watts informed the viewers that raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin that is regarded harmful for hair growth. “You can consume boiled eggs or egg curries, but try to avoid eating raw eggs,” he informs. PMD V asks: Sir, will there be any difference to my hair if I use hot water using a heater or geyser? Whether the hot water is from a geyser or a heater will not have any kind of impact on the hair “However, ensure that one should not use very hot water on the scalp. Use only lukewarm water for a head bath,” informs Dr John. Shinchan asks: Sir, I am using Minoxidil lotion. While taking a head bath I get a rough feel to my hair. Why is it so? Minoxidil lotion/oil is good for hair growth. It ensures adequate blood supply to the scalp and helps in the growth of baby hair. However, while taking a head bath, one may get a rough feel to one’s hair. “This is perfectly normal,” clarifies Dr John. Nagadurgamma K asks: Sir, Can I do heavy workouts in the gym while using Minoxidil? Can workouts lead to hair fall? There is absolutely no connection between hair loss and one’s workout in a gym. “If one is noticing hair fall after joining a gym, one must consult a dermatologist. There could be other reasons but gym training has nothing to do with one’s hair fall,” informs Dr John. With regard to the use of Minoxidil, he added that while using it one may engage in heavy physical exercise. There is no bar.

  6. What is the best shampoo for hair loss care? Mild Vs Harsh Shampoo | Dr John Watts

    What is the best shampoo for hair loss care? Mild Vs Harsh Shampoo | Dr John Watts

    #AskDrJohnWatts The market is flooded with dozens of hair shampoo brands but there is a lot of misconception about the right hair shampoo one should be using. Should one use mild shampoo over chemical-laced shampoos that use some catchy brand names and is widely advertised by celebrities that often claim to control hair fall or promote hair growth? These are some questions that noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in Hyderabad Dr John Watts demystifies in this educational video for the viewers of his popular YouTube Channel. Mild Vs Harsh Shampoo: He makes it a point to differentiate the milder shampoos from the harsh shampoos available in the market based on the ingredients they contain. Hair shampoos that do not cause irritation or damage to the scalp are classified as mild shampoos as the ingredients leave a minimal adverse effect. “In particular, people buying shampoos should read the label carefully and watch out for ingredients containing sodium Laureth sulphate, sodium laurel sulphate, or sodium lauryl sulphate and paraben. They should avoid such shampoos with a harsh surfactant,” he informs. The harsh shampoos can be easily identified with the presence of the above chemical ingredients but besides them, they may also contain strong smells and strong colouring agents. Mild Shampoo: Benefits The mild shampoo uses hair-friendly ingredients that not only provide cleansing for the hair but also cause the least irritation and damage to the scalp in the long run. “The purpose of a shampoo is cleansing and the mild shampoo does a good job on this. People should not believe if any shampoo claims that it can control hair fall or promote hair growth,” advises Dr John Watts, while batting for an only mild shampoo. Unlike mild shampoo, harsh shampoo can drain away excess oil from the scalp and lead to itching. Gradually, such itching and scratching can lead to skin erosion and the protective skin barrier on the scalp can break. This can provide easy access for bacterial attacks by the likes of staphylococcus bacteria and damage the hair, leading to hair fall. While advising herbal-based Volumizing Shampoo brands that use Acacia concinna or Soapnut or Reetha or Shikakai or kunkudukai as examples of mild shampoos, Dr John Watts, however, has a word of caution. “You cannot use mild shampoos in excess either. The volumizing shampoos add volume to the hair and are safer comparatively but overuse can drain excess oil and damage hair cuticle,” warns Dr John Watts, while recommending head wash with mild shampoo for not more than thrice a week. Diluting Harsh Shampoos: For those who prefer to use harsh shampoo brands or are unable to dump their stock of harsh shampoos, Dr John Watts urges them to use a very small quantity of such shampoo by diluting them with water. “It is better if one immediately washes away such shampoo on the scalp within 20–25 seconds of application on the scalp,” he suggests, while urging the viewers to share the video among their friends for awareness.

    Can Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) have any connection with baldness or lead to hair fall in any way? Can someone battling an STD get a hair transplant done?

    #AskDrJohnWatts Can Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) have any connection with baldness or lead to hair fall in any way? Can someone battling an STD get a hair transplant done? Will there be any adverse consequences? 👉Hair Transplant Result — Before & After Photos👈 👉Watch Full Video 👈 👉Get consultation with Dr John Watts — Hair Transplant Surgeon👈 These are some questions that Dr John Watts — noted trichologist, dermatologist and beard/hair transplant in Hyderabad — tries to enlighten the viewers of his popular YouTube Channel in this educational video. Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Causes & Symptoms In his introductory talk on the subject, Dr John Watts first explains how one may contract STDs. “When one engages in unprotected sexual activity, there are chances of contracting STDs,” says Dr John, while blaming both viruses and bacteria for the same. The notable bacteria transmitted STDs include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis, while viral STDs include HIV, genital herpes, genital warts (HPV), and hepatitis B. The symptoms of STDs range from burning sensation while passing urine, genital discharge, testicular pain and lower abdominal pain. “The best way to prevent STDs is to have protective sex. It is always best if one gets their condition diagnosed on time as symptoms of STDs often overlap with urinary tract infection,” informs Dr John Watts. STDs & Hair Loss: Some Sexually Transmitted Diseases like Syphilis and Chlamydia are known to lead to hair loss but not baldness. “STDs cannot be said to be responsible for baldness but they can trigger hair loss condition or hair thinning,” says Dr John Watts. Even in the case of patients who may be taking drugs for the treatment of HIV, Dr John Watts says that there could be drugs induced hair loss in some patients. Conclusion: If one has baldness and is battling STDs at the same time, is it reasonable to get a hair transplant procedure? If there is such a scenario, Dr John Watts advises in the negative. “Your life is more important than battling baldness. One’s priority and focus should be on getting the STD treated. For baldness, though hair transplant procedure is an alternative solution, it is still a secondary issue,” advises Dr John Watts, while urging the viewers to share the video for awareness among people.

  8. When Can You Wear Helmets or Caps After a Hair Transplant?

    When Can You Wear Helmets or Caps After a Hair Transplant?

    #AskDrJohnWatts When is the ideal time to wear a helmet or a cap after a hair transplant? Can wearing caps or helmets damage the grafts if it is done soon after the hair transplant procedure? How can one safely wear a helmet or a cap after the hair transplant? Are there any specific techniques to do so? Will it affect the hair transplant results? In this educational video, Dr John Watts — a noted dermatologist, trichologist and hair transplant surgeon in Hyderabad — demystifies everything about wearing helmets or caps after a hair transplant. He has successfully performed over 1900+ hair transplant procedures so far. Introduction: Immediately a day or two after the hair transplant procedure, one can safely wear the surgical cap as this is what is normally advised to the patients. There is no problem if one is wearing the prescribed surgical cap after a hair transplant. “We have to follow the safety rules while wearing different types of caps and helmets after a hair transplant as unnecessary friction can damage the hair grafts and the hair transplant results may fail,” warned Dr John Watts. Helmets, Surgical Caps & Normal Caps: How to wear When it comes to wearing helmets, surgical caps and normal caps safely, there are techniques and one has to wait for the appropriate time. Surgical cap: For a surgical cap, one can wear it immediately after a day or two of the hair transplant procedure but one has to ensure that before wearing it first stretch and loosen the cap. “Widen it long enough to ensure it can easily fit your scalp. Start from the back of the scalp and gently wrap it before slowly bringing it to cover your front of the scalp,” explained Dr John Watts in the demonstration video. While removing the surgical cap, one has to press the front of the surgical cap with three fingers and gently remove it from the back side after widening it loose enough for easy removal. Helmet: The problem with the helmet is that it has a hard thermocol sheet inside the helmet that can damage the hair grafts if they come in contact with them. “The ideal time to wear a helmet after a hair transplant is only after 20–30 days and not before that,” explained Dr John Watts. He explained that one has to be very careful while wearing helmets and should ensure that the grafts are not damaged and this is possible only after 20–30 days. This is why it is not recommended before 20–30 days of the transplant. “One can cover the scalp with a bandana or a white cloth and wear a helmet after that,” he said. Workman’s Helmet: There is another type of helmet known as the ‘Workman’s Helmet’, which is normally worn by construction workers and engineers at construction sites. “These helmets have hollow space at the top which ensures the hair grafts cannot come in contact with its hard surface,” explained Dr John Watts. However, even a workman’s helmet can be worn only after a week of the hair transplant procedure and not before that. Baseball Cap: They also have hollow space at the top and would ensure that their hard surface does not easily come in contact with the hair grafts. “Such caps can also be worn after 7 days and not before that,” explained Dr John.
