The sink is full of hair after I wash it brush is full after I brush it and the carpet is full of hair after I brush it. My thyroid is normal no iron issues ferritin folic acid etc is normal. Tried Rogaine for women no help. What can cause this great hair loss?
Brief Answer:
Mental stress
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Mental stress is one of the commonest and most un-diagnosed cause for the hair loss. In here almost all blood test fail to identify the cause.
I suggest you to continue Rogaine, use 10% solution. Apply it to the scalp every alternate day.
Also, do take protein powders which are rich in keratin. Such powders will be available in market. Ensure is one such brand.
Hope, I answered your query.
Please do ask if you have any doubts.
