Hi. As per your case history your girlfriend may be having either methamphetamine induced hair loss or face pattern hair loss. My treatment advice is - 1. It's better to consult your physician to have alternative medicine instead methamphetamine. 2. It is better to stick to same hair oil and shampoo as new products may worsen hair fall. 3. Avoid hair cosmetic procedures like hair straightening and hair spa. 4. Start minoxidil 2% solution application twice daily. Start biotin and vitamin b12 supplements.
