Your symptoms suggest a combination of female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) along with possible telogen effluvium (hair fall phase). Mid-part thinning is a common sign of hormonal or genetic hair loss, and shampoos or oils alone are usually not sufficient to treat this condition.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Hair regrowth takes 3–6 months, so consistency is key.
• Initial shedding with minoxidil can happen and is temporary.
• Avoid frequent switching of products; stick to a structured treatment plan.
• For better results, treatments like PRP or mesotherapy can be considered after consultation.
