There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.

Hi
I can understand that you are very much concerned about your hair fall. But don't worry lots of good treatment options with promising results like "PRP therapy" is available these days.
Remember early treatment is the key to restore and revive the lost hair follicles.
At the same time you need to take the treatment for your thyroid as it can be one of the many reasons for hair fall.
For proper treatment consult me either online or at my clinic.
