No Product and time: I suggest not using any products for a while, only organic shampoo and start taking some biotin (over the counter) 5000mcg, zinc 100mg and omega-3 3000mg daily and give it some time and hopefully it'll grow back if the damage was chemical. If you're losing hair due to genes, it probably won't work.
