Brief Answer:
Mental stress

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Mental stress is one of the commonest and most un-diagnosed cause for the hair loss. In here almost all blood test fail to identify the cause.

I suggest you to continue Rogaine, use 10% solution. Apply it to the scalp every alternate day.

Also, do take protein powders which are rich in keratin. Such powders will be available in market. Ensure is one such brand.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please do ask if you have any doubts.
