Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello, i can understand your concern
it would be very helpful if i could see some pictures of your scalp.
hairloss maybe due to excessive ironing or using different products, avoiding it can help to reduce it.
you may have telogen effluvium of female pattern hair loss.
hairfall may be due to lack of neutrients like iron or protiens in body, it may also be due to derranged thyroid levels. so to rule out telogen effluvium i would advice you to get your hb , serum ferritin and thyroid levels tested.
it may be genetic too.
application of minoxidil and oral biotins once a day can really be helpful to you.
hope it would help.
thank you
I find this answer helpful
