How Can Hair Loss Be Treated?

My mother had a colour rinsing (colour fixing) 22 months ago. The hairdresser applied the solution, and told her to keep it on for 40 mins (typically applied for a maximum of 10); throughout these 40 minutes, she had a burning sensation on the scalp, she told the hairdresser but he insisted that it s going to be okay. A month after, she observed some hair breakage, loss and weakening which intensified over the following months. She consulted some experts, and she s been using topical solution (Minoxi 2%), Trimoxi HSN Complex (hair follicles strengthening pills, composed of various vitamins), and a variety of vitamins: B12, C, E, D and zinc. There has been slight improvement, but still, she s struggling with hair breakage and weakening -and to mention that her hair type is weak originally - which s causing emotional and mental stress. The question is, what scientific and medical treatments or products, be it vitamins or solutions, to help her solve this issue?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Minoxidil is the drug of choice. Calcium Pantothenate must be in vitamin combination, to be consumed for hair growth.
