I'm dealing with frequent hair fall and complete hair loss, and my scalp now looks bald. There's no dandruff, but its smooth and shiny like a cricket ground, and Im really struggling with confidence because of it. Its something that runs in my family, but I desperately want to get back a full volume of hair. Can you offer any advice on treatments or solutions that might help restore my hair?
