Hair fall and thinning of hair
Hello,
I need medical help to try and minimize the hair loss that I currently face.
Hair loss is more on the top portion. Initially I thought it could be due to the hard water in Chennai. But now that I stay in my hometown in Kerala, water is good. Still I loose lot of hair everyday.
Hair density is less and the hairs are not strong enough. I apply coconut oil thrice a week. I do not use strong shampoo as well.
Is there some kind of serum/supplement that I can take?
