Hello dear,

Stress is an important causative factor for hair fall.
As per your case history, you had an accident in Jun 14 and are under stress.
The hair loss can be explained on the basis of it.

Management involves:
1. Avoidance of stress
2. Dietary modifications
3. Minoxidil solution to be applied locally to stimulate the hair follicles
4. Multivitamin & mineral supplementation

So, it will be better to consult a Dermatologist & start treatment accordingly.
There is no need to worry. Your hairs will grow back again.

Wishing you a Good Health
Take care.
