Accepted Answer

Hair loss: This could be the from the use of frequent shampoos with alcohol and other drying elements in it, inadequate vitamin most importantly Biotin, inadequate protein in the diet and possible hormone deficiency like the thyroid hormone.

Accepted Answer

Hair mask: A nourishing hair mask may help, either at home or in a salon. The home ones are sold at grocery and pharmacies. Don't wash hair every day, as that will make it more dry and damaged. Only shampoo once or twice a week, condition every other day. Don't run brush through hair, only comb through with fingers. Lastly, don't rub towel over hair after shower, let air dry.
