I am a 24 year-old girl. I have shoulder-length hair. I have very thin dry and damaged hair and my hair growth rate is very very low. My hair has almost stopped growing. I don t have problems of anaemia and thyroid. Please kindly suggest me what should I do so that my hairs will start growing as well as I ll get thick healthy hair?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shoulder length hair and you ant better hair growth which could be due to many reasons like genetic factor, deficiency of multivitamins in diet, fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not to worry. You should start with Finasteride preparations as these are best in treatment of hair loss. You should apply Mintop 10% directly on scalp to stimulate growth of hair follicles. You should take plenty of fluids and diet rich in multivitamins. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia at least for 3-4 months or antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
