Itchy Scalp and Hair Loss: A Connected Problem

Itchy Scalp: A Red Flag for Hair Loss?

Many people experience an itchy scalp, but did you know it could be linked to hair loss? While there can be many reasons for itchy scalp, it is important to understand if it can lead to hair loss. 

What are the different reasons for Itchy Scalp?

You might have itchy scalp because of - 

Dryness: Lack of moisture can lead to irritation.

Dandruff: Flaky scalp caused by a fungus.

Allergies: Reactions to hair products or environmental factors.

Scalp infections: Fungal or bacterial growth.

Underlying conditions: Psoriasis or eczema.

Can itching lead to hair loss? 

Constant scratching can weaken the  hair follicles, making them more prone to shedding. Additionally, if the itchiness is due to dandruff, it can disrupt the hair growth cycle, contributing to hair loss.

What can you do? 

Nourishing Your Hair from Within: The Role of Biotin

Biotin, a B vitamin, is often touted as a hair health hero. It plays a vital role in keratin production, the building block of hair. Studies suggest biotin supplements may improve hair thickness and reduce shedding. To know more about Biotin, read our blog here. 

Headline 5: Beyond Biotin: Other Hair-Friendly Nutrients

While biotin is popular, other nutrients contribute to hair health. Vitamins A, C, D, and E, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and iron support overall scalp health and hair growth. If you think it is too difficult to manage all these nutrients, you might take supplements like Indus Roots healthy hair gummies which give all these and much more in a single tasty gummy. 

Lifestyle Habits for a Healthier Scalp

In addition to supplements, lifestyle changes can make a difference:

Balanced diet: Ensure you're getting essential nutrients. To know more about nutritional deficiencies and their relation to hair fall, read our article here "Nutritional Deficiencies and Hair Fall - The age old link". 

Hydration: Drink plenty of water.

Gentle scalp care: Avoid harsh products and excessive washing.

Stress management: Chronic stress can impact hair health.

When to Seek Professional Help

If itching and hair loss persist despite your efforts, consult a dermatologist or trichologist. They can diagnose underlying conditions and recommend appropriate treatments.

Conclusion: A Healthier Scalp, Stronger Hair

Addressing an itchy scalp is essential for preventing hair loss. By understanding the causes, making lifestyle changes, and potentially using supplements, you can improve scalp health and promote hair growth. Remember, consistent care is key

Healthy Hair Gummy Vitamins

Hair gummies are a popular choice for promoting healthy hair, but let's play a quick game of 'Two Truths and a Lie.' First, it’s true that hair gummies can help strengthen your hair from the inside out, providing essential nutrients to support growth. Second, although it might seem tempting, taking more than the recommended dosage won’t speed up hair growth—it’s actually a myth! Finally, consistency is indeed key; regularly taking your gummies as directed is crucial for seeing the best results over time.

Remus doesn't love when you get sick, he hates seeing you with a red raw nose and a fever but he loves how you act when you're under the weather.

You're usually his independent girlfriend when you're fully healthy, but the minute you're even a bit sniffly, you can't lift a finger for yourself and he loves that he can take care of you.

"Remmy," you whine, shoving your face into his chest as he helps you sit up in bed. You'd be wrecked with a fever over the night and Remus had been a diligent doctor and placed a cool rag on your chest and back and had you bundled up all night.

This little routine had gone on all morning when he realised that the fever never broke fully.

"My love," he responds, smiling when you lift your head with a shy smile. "What can I do for you?" He pulls the rag from behind you, feeling the back of your neck and finding the fever reduced but not gone.

"I just want a cuddle and a kiss." Remus pouts, smearing a kiss to your forehead, cheek and then your lips and pulls you a little closer to him and squeezes you tight.

Remus smiles over your head, especially when you nuzzle closer to his neck and shift your body to his lap. "Better?" he asks, amusement colouring his tone as he moves his hands around you to hold you better.

"A little," you're too nasal for your liking. You hate being ill. You hate it more than anything in the world, but your job gets you sick every term. "Do we have vegetable soup?"

Remus hums, "I can make you some. With beef stock?"

You perk a little, leaning back to look at him with your bleary eyes. "And lots of egg noodles."

Remus nods, "But you have to take all your medicine." That deflates you instantly and he chuckles at the way you grimace. "Baby, you have to."

"But I don't want the syrup." You sound petulant and whiny but you lean even more into Remus, like you can hide away yourself in him and it makes his heart stampede in his chest.

"I won't give you the syrup, babylove." he pushes back your sweaty hair and kisses your forehead, frowning when he feels your fever again. "However," and at that you whine again, holding onto his neck as if it would save you from whatever heartbreaking news Remus was about to tell you.

"Rem," you cut him off and he shakes his head, only a little stern as he speaks again.

"You'll have to take something for your fever and they won't be the gummies you like. They'll more likely be tablets."

You sniffle wetly, congested making you sound worse as you speak. "Just two?"

Remus nods and pulls you from his neck, wiping the tears that tumble down your cheeks. "Just two. Give me thirty minutes to get everything together and we can have a cwtch and watch a show while you eat."

You nod, kissing Remus' wrist as you climb out of his lap and lay on the bed. He tucks you in and sets a cool rag on your chest just before he leaves and heads to the kitchen.

Hairfall & Dengue: Understanding the Connection and Solutions

Introduction:

In recent months, the rise in dengue cases has been a significant health concern globally. While most people are aware of the common symptoms of dengue, such as high fever, headaches, weakness, and joint pain, there is another lesser-known but distressing consequence — hair fall. This blog explores the correlation between dengue and hair fall, and how biotin hair supplements can help combat this issue and restore hair volume.

Understanding Dengue and Its Impact on Hair:

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that affects millions of people worldwide. The current surge in dengue cases has been particularly concerning, with health authorities emphasizing preventive measures. While recovering from dengue, many individuals experience hair loss, a condition known as telogen effluvium. This occurs when the body undergoes severe stress, such as a high fever or significant illness, causing hair follicles to enter the resting phase prematurely and leading to increased hair shedding.

The Correlation Between Dengue and Hair Fall:

**Stress on the Body**: The high fever and severe symptoms associated with dengue place significant stress on the body, disrupting the normal hair growth cycle.

**Nutritional Deficiencies**: Dengue can lead to reduced appetite and nutrient absorption issues, resulting in deficiencies of essential vitamins and minerals, including biotin.

**Immune Response**: The body's immune response to fight the dengue virus can inadvertently affect hair follicles, causing hair loss.

How Indus Roots Biotin Hair Gummies Can Help:

Indus Roots offers a range of gummy vitamins specifically designed to address hair health. Our best biotin hair supplement are particularly effective in combating hair fall and promoting hair recovery post-dengue. Here's how they can help:

**High-Efficacy Biotin**: Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is a crucial supplement for healthy hair growth. It supports keratin production, which strengthens hair and promotes growth. Indus Roots Biotin Hair Gummies provide a potent dose of biotin to replenish any deficiencies caused by dengue.

**Essential Vitamins and Minerals**: These gummies are enriched with other essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, and zinc, which collectively support scalp health and hair growth.

**Natural Ingredients**: Formulated with natural ingredients, Indus Roots Biotin Hair Gummies ensure a safe and effective solution for those recovering from dengue.

**Convenient and Delicious**: Easy to incorporate into your daily routine, these delicious gummies make it simple to maintain consistent intake, ensuring optimal results.

Dengue Spread in recent times:

As we all have heard, dengue cases have seen a significant increase, prompting health authorities to issue alerts and preventive guidelines. The rise in temperatures and the onset of the rainy season in many regions have created favourable conditions for the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes, which transmit the dengue virus. It is crucial to take preventive measures, such as using mosquito repellents, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed.

Conclusion:

Hair fall after dengue can be a distressing experience, but understanding the underlying causes and taking proactive steps can help mitigate its impact. Indus Roots Biotin Hair Supplements offer a natural, effective solution to combat hair fall and promote hair recovery. By replenishing essential nutrients and supporting overall hair health, these gummies can help restore your hair's volume and strength. As we navigate through the current dengue surge, prioritizing our health and well-being is more important than ever. Incorporate Indus Roots Biotin Hair Gummies into your daily routine and take a step towards healthier, more resilient hair.

Papa Aftercare Headcanons:

How each Papa would take care of you 💖

NSFW themes below - MDNI

Primo ♥️

Checks in with you and asks if you need anything

Recounts the previous events with you to see what parts you liked most and if there was anything you didn’t enjoy as much

Rubs homemade salves all over your body, made from the plants in his garden

Has your favorite snacks already laid out for you to eat immediately after. It’s usually the healthy version of whatever you like, like fruit leather instead of gummy bears

If you feel okay, you take a stroll around the gardens with him; his arm is around you, and he lets you lean on him while you discuss how your relationship is going

Meditates with you before going to sleep

Secondo 💚

Carries you to the bathroom immediately after to take care of any cuts or bruises and necessary cleanup

Gives you a full body massage while praising you for taking him so well

Makes you an elaborate dinner that he prepped earlier in the day

Asks if there is anything he could have done better for you, or what you want more of

Turns on whatever show you’re currently watching together and comforts you during any distressing scenes

Holds you close that night while you sleep together

Terzo 💜

Dotes on you and cleans you up immediately. You try to get up and do it yourself, but he insists on taking care of you…he just needs a few minutes to catch his breath

Hugs and kisses you all over and runs his hands along your body comfortingly

Draws you a bubble bath and joins you, using his fancy bath bombs and skincare

Praises you nonstop, especially if degradation was part of the main event. Mentions how he can’t believe he landed such a knockout 🤩

Has your favorite foods and snacks delivered

Asks how you’re doing and if he can get you anything, which he happily obliges to any request (including whatever you liked during sex that he can repeat)

Plans a cute date for the next day and brings you flowers and your favorite snack while you’re at work or just hanging out

Copia 🩵

Showers with you after, carefully washing you and mindful of your sore bits (:

Brushes your hair for you, kissing your neck and telling you how pretty/handsome you are

Cuddles with you and watches one of your favorite comfort shows or movies with you

Makes you a simple but delicious pasta dinner and gives you your favorite snacks while you watch him cook and says “Careful not to ruin your appetite, tesoro!”

Big on words of affirmation, telling you how much he loves you and how much you mean to him

Brings you your favorite blanket and plushies for bedtime and tucks you in

Promises sweet, slow sex next time 🥺

Nihil 🧡

Practically nonexistent but he does make sure you’re okay and have everything you need

Water is first on his list. He remembers how much or how little ice you like

Pats you on the back or the top of the head and says, “That was good,” or “You were great,” as he heads to the bathroom

Asks if you want to go through the drive thru for food afterwards

Gives you a thumbs up too, probably

Thank you GhostNocturnal on Twitter for some of the ideas!

Here's a fun (modern au) one: full hc for the M6's airport/airplane flight experience >:3

The Arcana HCs: M6 at the airport

~ loosely referencing this old ask arcana post from the nix hydra era - @themushroomgoesyeet hope you like this friend! I had so much fun writing it!! ^.^ ~

Julian

Does Julian love the concept of flying through the air as a mode of transportation, travel, and adventure in general? Sure!

Does that mean he does well with it? Not at all

Major flight anxiety and will cope with it to varying degrees of healthy depending on who he's with and what his options are

If you're the sort of person to pack soothing gummies and noise cancelling headphones with pre-downloaded guided meditation tracks and some sleep meds, he'll be all over them

If you're the sort of person who doesn't mind a drink or two before a flight just to soothe the nerves - well - he won't say no to that, either. Just make sure he's sober by the time you land, so he doesn't take a ride on the luggage carousel out of relief

Can and will grip your hand during take off and landing and then apologize when it briefly cuts off your blood circulation

Always offers to put up at least three people's luggage for them in the overhead bins and drops at least one on his head

Asra

They are one of those very weird people who think airplanes, airports, and any public area of transportation are relaxing

He's in tie-dye loungewear, a neck pillow, crocs, fuzzy socks, hair pushed out of his face with a sleeping mask-turned-headband, a rolling duffle bag dragged by one hand and a snack in the other

They are v i b i n g

Misses flights way less than you would expect him to, mostly because he's so familiar with all the major airports at this point that he has boarding just in time down to a fine science

And when they do miss a flight, it turns into an extended chillout session because they know all the best hangout spots there

His capacity to fall asleep anywhere, anytime works in his favor on cramped flights beautifully

They've started a new tradition with you of looking through all the available in-flight entertainment and picking what promises to be the cringiest movie, just to make you laugh with their commentary

Nadia

Her usual reason for flying is business, which is exactly how she approaches the entire traveling process

Her luggage is all one elegant, efficient set (she has bought you a matching one) with personalized tags for ease of spotting

Always purchases business class tickets, refuses to take any chances on missing her special traveling experience and arrives at the airport three hours early as a result

There are multiple reasons for this - first, less stress at security, second, she has one of those fancy passes that gets her into just about any exclusive club lounge in the world

Enjoys the hour or two pampering you in the lounge with nothing else to do more than she does any other part of the travel

Won't hesitate to critique/send back her meal on the airplane if she doesn't like it, tends to load up on sleeping meds for longer flights since the fluctuating air pressure triggers her migraines

Brings an extra skincare routine for you to do during the last hour

Muriel

Look at him. Do you see him? Look at him. Now look at the size of an airplane interior. Look at him again. Now look at the amount of available legroom. Look at him again. HE IS 6'10.

Muriel would prefer almost any form of transportation to flying. It's busy, security makes him move too fast, all the signs and bustle of the airport are hell on his anxiety, and that's before boarding

Always tries to get an aisle seat because that lets him expand into the walkway if he needs to, and so he's less likely to glance out the window and see just how far away the ground is

The ground belongs right here. Under his feet. Not a terrifying drop down through the clouds!!

The airplane experience is sensory hell for him in general, the deafening sound of the engines, the constant vibration, the recycled air, the ways his ears pop, the stiff seats, the armrests -

Really the only way he'll get through this is if he knows there's no other options and if you're next to him as his emotional support

Portia

An airport champion

And it's really not from that much experience. She's traveled enough to know she likes it, but it's still so exciting every time she gets the chance to fly somewhere! Especially with you!!

Has done all of her research ahead of time and is packed for everything. Her massive mom bag has pockets for snacks, documents, meds, chargers, electronics, drinks, travel cushions ...

Does get restless before a flight and will drag you all up and down the terminal to take a look at every single shop and restaurant

The type to start chatting with whoever's in line with her, whether in security lines, bathroom lines, coffee lines, or boarding lines

Will befriend whoever is sitting next to/across from her and spend half the flight getting to know them and trading stories

Will offer to hold any nearby crying baby if said baby's caregiver could clearly use five minutes to use the restroom or eat

Takes so many pictures out the airplane window

Lucio

Traveling is one of those things that he tries (and fails) to hide his excitement around. In his mind, this is something that he as a worldly, well-traveled person should be nonchalant about

He is not nonchalant. He is thrilled to be doing something fairly exciting and to spend a whole day with excuses to be in close quarters with you - and to book a first-class ticket

The only issue is that (if it's left unchecked) his FOMO will prompt him to try to squeeze every single thing to do out of the terminal before he boards the plane, which can end in missing his flight

Massage chairs! You two should definitely get a massage

A massive perfume section! You two should sample five each

Gets extremely impatient during the boarding process and will start grumbling and fidgeting in place when the person in front of him is taking forever to put up their luggage

Laughs loudly enough at the comedy he picks to watch for the whole airplane to hear him

[yopossum]

SURPRISE (to me, most of all!)

It’s something new!!! 🥰

Wash Day

A “Not Anyone Who Says” universe fluffy flashback ficlet with young dad Joel and toddler Sarah. Can be read as a standalone. No warnings.

(I intentionally write exclusively Black biracial Sarah. Photo of bb Nico)

Main Masterlist - Series Masterlist

————————————————————————

Joel spread the faded bath towel over the counter and gave it a pat. “Alright, babygirl, salon is open. C’mere!” With a whoosh he swept the giggling little girl from her place at his feet and laid her down on her back in the spot he’d just prepared.

“Want a towel roll for under your neck, baby?”

“Yes pwease!” squeaked the wriggling Sarah. Joel grabbed a dish towel from a drawer and rolled it up, tucking it around his daughter’s neck and shoulders.

“How’s that feelin’? Y’ cozy?”

“Yes Daddy! Fank you!” She grinned up at Joel with a wide, gummy smile. “My hair’s all yucky, Daddy?”

Joel smiled softly and shook his head reassuringly. “Not yucky, darlin’, never. Y’ got beautiful hair, don’t ever let somebody tell you different. You just did a lot of good playin’ and runnin’ round all week so I’m gonna get it nice and clean, get those tangles out.” He ran a thumb over her chubby cheek and she wrinkled her nose at him.

“I don’t wike the bwush, Daddy.” Her big brown eyes, a mirror of his own, went wide and wet with concern. He pressed a comforting kiss to her forehead.

“I know y’ don’t, princess, but it’s important to keep that lovely crown ‘a yours healthy. I promise I’ll be gentle as I can, jus’ like every week. How’s that sound?” Joel turned on the faucet to let the water warm, one hand rubbing his daughter’s shoulder.

Sarah breathed out an exceptionally heavy sigh for such a small girl. “Ooohkay, Daddy. And Uncle Tommy’s tenduh….tenduhhead…?”

Joel chuckled. “That’s right, babygirl. Uncle Tommy’s tender-headed, too. And you’re way tougher than him, aren’tcha?” She nodded seriously in agreement. He checked the water temperature, perfectly warm. “Ready, Sarah?” She nodded again and tilted her head back as Joel gathered her hair in his broad palms in the sink, watching with a contented grin when the tension in her little body melted away as the warm water saturated her curls.

He squeezed a generous amount of shampoo into the well of his palm and lathered it meticulously through the length of her hair, massaging at her scalp and teasing his fingers through the childhood trademark snarls. Dirt, sand, sunscreen, sweat, sticky popsicle remnants, and an errant oak leaf swirled down the drain in a sudsy stream. He rinsed until the water ran clear, then spun the handle to turn it off.

“Conditionin’ time, curly girly. Y’ ready?”

“Yes Daddy,” she said in as stern a voice as she could manage. “Pwomise you gonna be gentle?” she added cautiously.

“I promise, babygirl.”

Joel twisted off the lid of the jar and scooped out a pile of the thick custard before working it into Sarah’s dripping hair. He separated her locks out into sections and began to run the brush carefully through each, starting at the ends and working his way up. After half an hour or so, which was punctuated with the occasional whine of protest and several tickle breaks, his fingers slid easily through the sandy slippery coils. Joel turned the warm water back on and rinsed.

When he’d finished, he pressed his lips to the stretch of Sarah’s soft round tummy peeking out from under her purple butterfly pajama top and blew an enormous raspberry, eliciting a loud squeal.

“All done! Up we go, sweetheart,” Joel said with a clap of his hands. He helped his little girl to sit upright on the counter, shielding her head from the sharp corner of the upper cabinet. He grabbed the rolled up towel and wrapped it around Sarah’s hair, squeezing out the excess water gently to avoid fuzzing it.

“Now, what style are we thinkin’ for this week, hm?” He rested his hands on his hips and kicked out a lazy leg.

Sarah pursed her pouty pink lips in thought for a second before exclaiming, “BWAIDS!”

Joel let out a loud laugh. “Braids it is, then! How many, and which hair thingies y’ want?”

“I want fwee bwaids, cuz I’m fwee years old! Anddddd… wed fwowers! Wike Susie!” she cheered.

“That’s right, ain’t it. You are three! Lil’ Miss Susie Carmichael comin’ right up. Let me get the red flower ties from y’ bedroom, alright?” He turned and started down the hall.

“Kay! Fank you Daddy. Susie’s my favowite.” Joel looked back to see his baby beaming up at him, dimples deep and darling on her peachy golden cheeks.

“Don’t I know it, y’ little rugrat. And you know who my favorite is?”

Sarah wiggled in anticipation. She barely chirped out a “who?” before her father bent down and lifted her with his strong hands, tossing her up to the ceiling as she shrieked with glee.

“It’s you, babygirl,” Joel hummed happily, smooching her face and running his palm over her dampened back. “Sarah’s my favorite.”
