Hair loss: Use topical minoxidil. Rogaine is a well known brand but your local pharmacy also might be able to make it for you.

Get seen: A woman should not be losing her hair especially when she is young. You may need to be checked for hypothyroidism now -- hair loss can be the first warning. Your physician may know of other causes & a referral to a dermatologist may very well be in order.. Do not allow anyone to subject your hair to further heat or chemical treatments. The supplements are unlikely to help.
