General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Common causes of hair fall in female include fungal infection, iron/nutritional deficiency, hypothyroidism, poly cystic ovarian disease, alopecia areata , too much use of shampoo, dye/chemicals, lupus and cancer chemo/radiotherapy. Treatment depends upon the cause. Greying of hair is normal around age of 30 years. So don’t worry about it.
Advice
1.     Consult a dermatologist of your area so that he/she can diagnose the cause
2.     High protein and vitamin rich diet such as eggs, meat, vegetables, cheese etc
3.     Do not take much tension as anxiety/depression aggravates hair loss
4.     You can take Revital capsule once daily temporarily to correct any nutritional deficiency
5.     Investigations – blood Hb%, serum TSH, and serum T4
Thanks
