Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are having hair fall after a hair straightening procedure.

This type of hair fall is called as telogen effluvium. It occurs due to damage to the hair shaft which loosen and fall from the roots.

You could benefit from taking oral supplements containing 5 mg of biotin along with cysteine and methionine.

Do not massage your hair vigorously.

Use a mild shampoo and a good conditioner.

Have a healthy diet rich in protein and biotin.

Avoid hair straightening/ smoothening, etc in the future.

Hope this helps you.
Take care.
