Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Change in the color associated with hair fall most of times is sen due to nutritional deficiencies.

If the above conditions is associated with sticky hair or dandruff then it could be due to fungal infection.You may have to then consult a Dermatologist who can confirm the diagnosis by examination and advise you specific antifungal treatment.

Applying Minoxidil 5% solution on the scalp will improve the blood circulation to the scalp and help in maintenance and growth of the hair.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Have a healthy diet full of vegetables & fruits.
Get examined by skin specialist for dandruff or any fungal infection which can also cause hair loss.

hello fawaz,
the most common cause of hairloss is androgenic alopecia.
if your father has same problem then you have a very high chance of getting it
but there is no permanent cure for it.
if its due to other causes like lack of nutrition, stress then it can be prevented.
take good balanced diet. take more proteins. lot of water
add more green leafy vegetables in diet. take more fruits
have good sleep atleast 7 to 8 hrs.avoid stress.use mild shampoo.
take care
