Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
You can go for coconut oil for dry hair.
As far as greying of hair and hair loss is concerned it has multiple causes,
The most causes of hair loss are anemia, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, deficiency of vitamins, fevers like typhoid, dengue, certain drugs, medicines, child birth, recent surgery, accident and trauma.
I would recommend you to get your thyroid function tests, haemoglobin, serum ferritin levels, serum vitamin D levels and serum vitamin D levels.
Meanwhile you can start with hair supplements like tablet follihair once daily.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
