Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I suggest you follow these. Increase protein intake in your diet. Eat eggs, chicken, dairy products, pulses, walnuts, dry fruits, etc. Avoid stress. Practice meditation and yoga. Take Tablet H-vit forte (dietary supplement) once daily after breakfast for 30 days. Use a broad-brimmed comb. Avoid combing wet hairs. Avoid shampoos loaded with chemicals. Do you have an itchy scalp? Please attach a clinical picture to assess scalp hair density and type of hair loss so I can guide you accordingly. Regards.

Thank you for the reply. I have attached my blood report. I am following intermittent fasting (16/8 diet). My weight is steady and I am having hair-loss since last 35 years. No history of fever, no mental stress, depression, or grief. I did not do any recent hair procedure. I do not have itchy scalp. Please refer to the blood report. I have iron and hemoglobin deficiency. Regards.

I can see the iron deficiency from the reports attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Nutrition is the key to healthy hair, so have a healthy diet. Regards.
