Hello... Yeah most of them suffer from similar complains. But many do more know that such kind of complains have many different treatments. It all depends upon the examination of the scalp, the kind of skin there, any dandruff, the density and condition of hair, any genetic condition, and the type of alopecia if it's there. The treatment will range from the simple oral supplements, topical serums, topical medications, shampoos and many more. It's best if u can consult for the same that'll help in diagnosing properly and guiding u through. U can consult me online as well

There are many reasons for hair fall. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription,
