What Causes Thinning Of Hair And Dandruff?
I used to have thickest hair in school. But when i joined college. My hairfall increased. Now i can see the hair have become thin and lost many on central crown of head. When my hair is dry. I see dandruff falling on my clothes. By the way, i eat everything in my diet and dont eat any fast food. Could you suggest why my hair falls and what can be done to get thicker growth?
