Hair Loss: Causes & Treatment
Dermatologist-led overview of how hair loss is evaluated and the evidence behind common treatments.
View AAD reference ›Keraglo and Follihair are both branded multi-nutrient hair-support supplements — and the honest starting point is that supplements don't cure hair loss. They may support hair where there's a genuine nutritional gap, but they aren't a treatment for pattern hair loss or medical causes like thyroid disease, PCOS or iron deficiency. Their exact ingredients and amounts vary by variant, so the only reliable way to compare is to read the current labels — we don't state fixed compositions. The better choice depends on your deficiency status, the label, tolerance, price and doctor advice. Don't take supplements blindly. Screen your pattern with the AI Hair Test, and get deficiencies checked by a doctor. Results vary.

Neither is universally better. Keraglo and Follihair are both branded multi-nutrient hair-support supplements, and their value depends far more on whether you actually have a relevant nutritional gap than on the brand. Their exact ingredients and amounts vary by variant, so compare the current labels side by side rather than assume — we deliberately don't publish fixed compositions. Crucially, supplements don't cure hair loss: they may help where there's a genuine deficiency, but they're not a treatment for pattern hair loss or medical causes like thyroid disease, PCOS or iron deficiency. So the sensible order is: understand why you're losing hair first — ideally with a doctor and, where needed, blood tests — then decide whether a supplement adds anything. Don't take them blindly, watch for interactions and excess, and note that high-dose biotin can interfere with some lab tests. Use the AI Hair Test to screen your pattern. Results vary.
Keraglo and Follihair are two familiar branded hair-support supplement ranges in India. Both are oral multi-nutrient supplements aimed at general hair and nutritional support — not medicines, and not a cure for hair loss.
The single most important point: a hair supplement tends to help only when it corrects a real nutritional gap. If you're not deficient, the benefit may be limited, and taking more is not better — some nutrients can accumulate or cause side effects in excess. Their exact ingredients and amounts vary by variant and over time, so we don't state fixed compositions; check the current label.
Bottom line: don't choose on brand alone, and don't take supplements blindly. First understand why you're losing hair — ideally with a doctor and any needed blood tests — then decide whether Keraglo, Follihair or neither adds value. Supplements don't cure hair loss and aren't a treatment for pattern or medical causes.

Neither column "wins". Because both are multi-nutrient supplements whose exact contents vary by variant, the sensible basis for choosing is the current label, whether you have a relevant deficiency, tolerance, price and your doctor's advice — not a belief that one brand regrows more hair. Compare labels, and remember supplements don't cure hair loss.

Hair supplements offer nutritional support; they do not cure hair loss and are not a treatment for pattern hair loss or medical causes such as thyroid disease, PCOS or iron deficiency. Keraglo and Follihair are both multi-nutrient supplements, so neither brand is universally better — choose on the exact label, your deficiency status, tolerance, price and doctor advice. Any benefit largely depends on correcting a real deficiency, and more is not better. Do not take supplements blindly, avoid stacking multiple multi-nutrient products, and tell your doctor about everything you take; high-dose biotin can interfere with some lab tests. In pregnancy, breastfeeding, medical conditions or for teenagers, only use supplements a doctor approves.

"People often arrive having already chosen between Keraglo and Follihair, asking which is stronger. My honest answer is that they're both multi-nutrient supplements, and the brand matters far less than whether you actually have a deficiency for them to correct. A supplement can genuinely help when, say, iron or vitamin D is low — but if your hair fall is from pattern loss, thyroid disease or PCOS, no amount of supplement will fix that, and leaning on one can delay the real diagnosis. So I always check the cause first, often with a simple blood test. I also remind people not to stack multiple products, to tell me everything they take, and that high-dose biotin can throw off some lab results. Read the actual label, treat the real cause, and keep expectations realistic."

If hair fall is mild, early, non-progressive, cosmetic, possibly nutrition-related, or you're unsure, brand barely matters — either Keraglo or Follihair may offer general nutritional support, ideally after a quick deficiency check. Don't take supplements blindly. If your diagnosis is unclear, take the AI Hair Test first and consider a doctor or a blood test.
For moderate shedding, thinning, weak hair, crown thinning, or doctor-confirmed pattern hair loss, a supplement is at most a support — not the treatment. Pattern loss needs its own doctor-guided plan, and a supplement only helps if there's a relevant deficiency. Confirm the cause first.
See a doctor before relying on a supplement if you have any of: sudden hair fall; patchy hair loss; scalp redness, pus, pain or crusting; severe dandruff or infection; pregnancy or breastfeeding; teenagers; thyroid symptoms; PCOS symptoms; heavy periods or suspected anaemia; side effects from previous products; or an unclear diagnosis. Assessment comes first.
