Dear Doctor I'm 31 years old and have shoulder length hair.when i was young i used to have very long and thick hair but once when i was 13 i visited a hair dresser and citing that my hair looks very unmanageableshe cut the hair above my nape to cut down its thickness.ever since i have been suffering from hair fall and the original thickness was lost. now my hair hardly seems to be growing. i had a haircut 9 mths back and since then it has grown only 1 inch. i naturally take a protein rich diet and have taken many iron n zinc supplements in the past in order to improve my hair growth but in vain. i even went to a trichologist and did a scalp test and they said i have more falling hairs than growing hairs and also each follicle has only 1-2 hairs growing in it instead of a healthy 3.but the treatment given by them( at home application of hair oilserumshampooetc) caused allergies and drowsiness.so after 2 mths of product use i discontinued those products. so please give me a solution for my problemplease.
