Hi,

Do you have any bald patches?

Expert:  Dr Nair replied 296 days and 9 hours ago.

Okay. How long in total have you noticed the increasing hair loss for? Do you feel like the central parting of your scalp is getting wider?

Customer replied 296 days and 9 hours ago.

For the past 3 months i have been noticing it is falling out mainly in the very back. I do not wear my hair tight at all and I keep it moisturized daily. As for shampooing I do that once a week

From your history I don’t think you have any hair disease which is causing your hair loss, namely I have ruled out conditions like female androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata. Hair can shed for a few months without any cause and it is normal to lose upto 100 hair a day. They will all grow back. All I would suggest doing is to take 5 mg of Biotin everyday for about 3 months. This is a vitamin which helps hair regrowth and is available over the counter without a prescription.

Hope this information is useful, please feel free to ask if you have any queries.

Please remember to only rate my answer when you are satisfied. If you feel the need to click either "Helped a little" or "I expected more", please stop and reply to me via the CONTINUE CONVERSATION button with the issue you have. I will be happy to continue further and do everything I can to provide you with the service you seek.
