Brief Answer:
Minoxidil lotion

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
In males, the commonest cause of hair fall and thinning is androgenic alopecia.
It is a natural process but can be controlled.
Apply Minoxidil 5 % lotion ( Hair 4 U pro) 1 ml twice daily.
Do this for 3 months to get good results.
You will have to continue using it for maintaining the results.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
No Iron deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up and reports.
No you don't have iron deficiency.
Just relax.
Start using minoxidil. You will get results in two to three months.
By your name I thought you are male but it's written female in personal details.
If you are female then use Hair 4 U and if male use Hair 4 U Pro
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
