Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Iron deficiency can can be a cause of hair fall and brittle hair.
Take a supplement containing iron and also 5-10 mg of bitin every day for 2- 3 months.
Have a healthy diet rich in iron like dates, green leafy vegetable,etc and also anti- oxidants.
If this does not help you, you could consider using minoxidil solution. Do get it prescribed by your dermatologist.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
