Check-up, folic acid: You should keep in contact with your physician to discuss possible odd causes. Thyroid disease, local trauma (blow-drying or chemical products), anorexia nervosa, and genetic predisposition are the most common causes. If your doctor determines those are not the problem, you may want to try taking a multivitamin and 1 mg of Folic Acid to give your hair the vitamins it needs to grow.
