I'm 22 and I've been dealing with hair loss and thinning for quite a few years now. I've tried a bunch of medications but they just haven't worked for me. Recently, I've noticed that the density of my hair seems to have really decreased, especially in the front and sides of my head. I don't have any medical conditions like thyroid issues or anything like that. Can you suggest some natural and medical ways to address this?
