Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Follihair is just a nutritional hair supplement containing amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It does not induce hair growth over other mentioned areas.
Though you have not mentioned your gender but I presume you are female. In a female loss of hair from scalp and excessive hair growth over face, chest back etc points towards androgenetic alopecia with hirsutism. Now these two conditions occuring simultaneously points towards hormonal derangement as in polycystic ovarian disease. Another cause of unwanted hair growth could be use of topical or oral steroids. I would advise that you meet a dermatologist nearby to get a proper evaluation done. But this excess hair growth is in no way seems to be related with follihair.
HOpe this helped.
Take care
