Excessive Hairfall
Hello, since last 2 months I am having uncontrollable Hairfall. I changed shampoo but it seems to increase by the day. I anyway have scanty and thin hair but Hairfall was normal all this while. Also my nails are extremely brittle and have always been that way. They never grow much and easily chip away. I understand there is something wrong in the basics but I fail to figure it out. Please help!
