View allI'm a bit concerned about my hair fall situation. I've completed three PRP sessions over the past three months, with each session spaced a month apart. After the second session, I saw some improvement in hair fall, but it only lasted for about a week. Since then, it's back to the usual amount of hair falling. Is this normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've been advised to use minoxidil 5, but I have to admit, I'm not very consistent with itmaybe around three to four times a week. Should I be looking into any vitamin deficiencies or consider trying some home remedies or self-care routines?
Yes consume protiene rich diet and maintain healthy sleep cycle that will help and also follow your doctors advice
