It did but I did not have much trouble with thickness as hair dint grow much but din fall much also. But recently past 6 months I have scary increase in hairfall and visible thinning of hair. My thyroid levels are fine. want to know the cause. Is there any clinic who can diagnose the cause and then give treatment. Pls help.

There are many reasons for hair fall. 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 call me or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.
