Brief Answer: telogen effluvium Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX In females hair fall is mainly due to chronic telogen effluvium. It is a non specific condition with nutritional deficiency considered to be the main cause. I usually advice biotin and iron tablets and minoxidil lotion for topical application to my patients . Most of them show very good response within 3 months. Probably you can give it a try. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you

I had severe dandruff issues which have been kept under control with scalpe dandruff shampoo & desoven lotion. Even though I do not have any dandruff now, my hairfall is at its worst now.. I had also tried the tablets XXXXXXX glo. Iwas told it would help resolve hairfall issue. But that did not help.

Brief Answer: combination is better Detailed Answer: Hello Combination of minoxidil and biotin works well. You must continue it for at least 3 months to get desirable result. Keraglo is good but alone it is not effective. A combination with minoxidil is a much better approach. Thank you
