Hairfall and hair thinning
Iam 20 years old, i observed that my hair is not growing in length and hair became quite thin. I also observed that when I comb my hair at least 10-15 hairs falls out. Is this a sign of premature balding or is there any home remedies for this?

It’s not easy to say dear if ur going toward early balding or no. About 100 hairfall a day is normal so do t panic. As for hair thinning il really need a more detailed history to help u out but as for now if ur someone who oils and keeps ur hair overnight avoid doing so u need to oil and keep it for only half an hour before going for a bath.
