Hello.
Thanks for the query.

Vitamins are required for normal growth of hair. Specially vit B 12 that is cobalamine and biotin is very important.
along with this even iron plays important role in hair development.

1.You can take Vit B complex tablet. one tablet daily,
it is much cheaper than follihair.
Along with this also take cap Hematinic daily,
even this is quiet cheap.

2. please apply minoxidil 5 % solution twice daily.

This will improve your hair and also there will be regrowth.

Only thing is that it will take some time to show its effect.

Thank you
