Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

Iron deficiency can can be a cause of hair fall and brittle hair.

Take a supplement containing iron and also 5-10 mg of bitin every day for 2- 3 months.

Have a healthy diet rich in iron like dates, green leafy vegetable,etc and also anti- oxidants.

If this does not help you, you could consider using minoxidil solution. Do get it prescribed by your dermatologist.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
