Excessive hair breaking
From past few months I have been experiencing excessive hair breakage. I did get a smoothning treatment done last year. When ever I comb hair or apply oil I see too much of hair all around in clumps. Hairline is as it is. I do have dry hair as always. As a result my hair has become really thin and damaged. I did take it iron supplements along with vitamin e and folic acid for 2 months earlier as told by a doctor for low haemoglobin. Pls suggest something so that I can reduce my hair breakage or hairfall whatever it seems.
