May be: Is your hair loss due to malabsorption or due to hereditary reasons? If it is due to nutritional deficiencies, there may be some reversal on correcting the deficiencies. However loss due to hereditary factors will not reverse.

How do I stop my eyebrow hair loss? It was caused by using retinol cream which I stopped immediately after. Only my eyebrows have been falling for four months now. Is this telogen effluvium? Am I deficient in any vitamins? Any thyroid or iron issues?
