Hi.
As per your case-history of hair-fall we need to rule out-
1. Did you have any major illness in past 6 months?
2. Do you take any otc medicines like NSAIDS for pain?
3. Do to use Hair cosmetics like conditioners or undergo hair spa-straightening?
As per your history sudden weight loss also seems major factor in hair-loss
My treatment advice-
1. Take healthy balanced diet.
2. Be stress free, stress increases hair-fall.
3. Take tab.livogen-z once at noon and tab.folimax-12 once at night. Continue follihair tablet once daily. Use betaderm lotion for application twice a week about 10-15 drops on entire scalp.
It may take 10-12 weeks for appreciable result

Thanks.
