your first step should be to exclude any underlying medical issues or nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to your hair loss. thyroid disease for example can affect your hair growth. if there are no medical issues then you should review your current hair-care regimen. overuse of perms relaxers and hair dyes will damage your hair follicles and lead to hair loss. optimum hair growth requires adequate nutrition for your hair. certain supplements are required for keratin (the building blocks for your hair) production. make sure that your diet is supplemented with magnesium zinc folic acid and biotin.
