How Can Hair Fall With Thinning And Excessive Softness Be Treated?

Hello Doctor, I am 40 yr old female. Used to have very voluminous, black and shiny hair. Now over a few years, each strand of hair has become thin and very soft. The volume (hair thickness) has reduced and there is a lot of hair fall for the past 5-6 months.. Can you suggest some good hair related multi vitamins and iron. My Doc suggested Mintop and Tressgro. But I have heard that once u stop using Mintop, the hairfall becomes more and that u need to use it always. please advice. thanks Anjali

I have gone through your complaints and you seem to be having female pattern hair loss.I would recommend you to continue with minoxidil as it is the most effective medicine for this type of hair loss. Also take tablet Follihair A once daily for 3-4 months.
