Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- I understand that hair loss can be very problematic. If you are more worried about any particular part then send me a picture of it.
- In general, female lose hair and experience of a reduction in density but the headline is intact.
- There can be a lot of reasons for hair loss like:
- Improper hair routine and hard (salt) water.
- Have a good intake of fresh fruits and maintain vitamin D3 levels.
- Optimum zinc and biotin levels are key.
- Use a broad bristle comb and avoid over strenuous combing of hair.
- Never shampoo in dry hair.
- As for medication, take capsule Keraglo Eva (gamma Lenolenic acid) one every day.
- Tablet Neurobion forte (multivitamin) one every day for 6 months.
- Hair need a long-term treatment so should follow it with some patience.
