Do note if there were any factors before the hair loss started. Most common are dandruff, hormonal(menstrual,thyroid etc),pregnancy, any lifestyle or residence change, stress, any history of recent illness like typhoid,low iron or nutrition levels, any chemical procedures, etc.Females also may be affected by a genetic type if it runs in the family.Also do note if you have hair loss anywhere else in the body.These causes need to be considered and treated first as they affect hair growth.You need to take a nutritious diet, well balanced, with enough fluids and rest. Avoid stress.Consult a dermatologist regarding the type of hair loss you are facing, and also get some tests to check your hemoglobin, iron and thyroid levels.For now you may start hair supplements daily containing biotin. Also apply a hair serum like Recute or Keratex. They need to be continued at least for 2-3 months.You will notice the hair fall reducing and new hair growth slowly. It depends on your hair cycle.Be sure to see your doctor regarding the possible cause of your hair fall.Further treatments will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation, depending on your results.Hope this guides you
