Brief Answer:
Regarding hair fall and thinning and roughness

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

Diffuse hair fall and thinning could be due to Chronic telogen effluvium or Androgenetic alopecia. I suggest you to screen for Thyroid function, serum ferritin levels, vitamin D levels Vitamin B 12 levels. Dryness, frizziness and roughness could be due to cosmetic procedures like hair straightening which are damaging to the hair cortex. I suggest you to use a gentle shampoo for hair wash. Also use a good conditioner after shampoo. Avoid any chemical treatment for hair. You may take an oral biotin supplement in addition to the specific measures to correct any abnormality on investigations as suggested above.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
