My hair is falling out. what can i take to make it grow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair loss: This may be due to genetic causes, age, thyroid disease,scalp pathology or emotional factors. A dermatologist can determine whether the hair loss is temporary or permanent and will order appropriate tests. If no medical cause, consult a skilled beautician who will look at your hair and instruct you on proper hair care and products.
