Hello,
As you eat slate pencils and also there is severe hair loss, then it can be a sign of nutritional deficiency and that you need to get checked by a physician. Hairfall can also occur due to a number of causes like androgenic alopecia fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long-standing illness, side effects of medicines.
You should consult a Trichologist, and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assay, blood tests, Trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly.
You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp.
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements.
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil.
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
