My younger sister is having hair loss issues. what measure should she take to prevent it? would any supplement help the situation? please advice sth.

First question alway: is what could be causing hair loss. Most commonly in young individuals it is due to stress or illness called telogen efluvium. We do recommend checking for thyroid abnormalities and ferrtiin or iron deficiency. I am also concerned about nutrition, and of course eating disorders. She should see a doctor soon for diagnosis and treatment
