Frequency

Onset

Management Tips

Ensure adequate protein intake — hair needs protein to grow
Take biotin supplements (consult your doctor first)
Include iron-rich foods: spinach, dates, jaggery, pomegranate
Coconut oil scalp massage can improve circulation
Amla (Indian gooseberry) is traditionally used for hair health
Avoid crash dieting — gradual weight loss reduces hair impact

When to See a Doctor

Consult a dermatologist if hair loss is severe, patchy, or doesn't improve after 6 months. Get thyroid and iron levels checked.
