Hi kindly read below

Detailed Answer:
Hi ,
I have read your query and understood your concern.
Inview of hairfall kindly rule out any thyroid issue, dandruff and deficiencies such as Hb, vit D and B12. I would recommend a tablet follihair one per day for 3 months and incase of dandruff kz shampoo weekly thrice for 3 weeks. Any treatments such as straightening, colouring damages the hair try avoiding them.

Regards.
