Hello,

Sometimes iron deficiency anemia, and thyroid issue may be a common reason for hair loss. You may need to do a total blood count with formula, ferritin levels, thyroid profile. You may need to take biotin, zinc and selenium supplements. Also, use a shampoo that contains zinc and selenium which helps hair growth. Avoid chemicals and heat regarding hair styling.
