Hi,
I can understand your concern for hair loss. Hair fall can be due to any long term illness or any emotional or stressful event and due to nutritional deficiency or hormonal influence.
I can make out that you had gone for straightening of hair. So after these procedures or after illness or stress and nutritional dysfunction it is quite common to get hair fall because of change of nutritional and hormonal status.
If I were your dermatologist then would have prescribed you tablet containing Acetylcysteine, Calcium Pantothenate, Selenium, Zinc, Biotin, Copper as active ingredients. You can take these vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes.
Take care.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
After hair straightening there is a chance of hair breaking from the point of normal hair and straightened hair as hair grows out. If you examine the hairs you won't be able to see hair bulb at the end in case of broken hair. In case of hair fall due to other reasons you will see hair bulb at the end of the hair.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
