Hi there

Thank you for your question.

You should firstly rule out a medical cause.
Common causes include:
Iron deficiency anaemia
Abnormal thyroid hormone levels
Certain auto immune conditions
Your doctor can rule these conditions out with some blood tests.

If no medical cause is found, you should use a caffeine containing shampoo which will stimulate hair growth.
You can also take a supplement containing biotin, folic acid, omega 3 and 6, vitamin E and D.

If you use heat when styling your hair, always apply a heat protecting serum or spray.

Keep well.
