Question

I'm really worried about my hair. A couple of years ago, I used a hair straightening cream and ended up with all these side effects like hair loss, thinning, dandruff, and a dry scalp. I've lost so much hair now that Im practically bald. What can I do to fix this? I could really use some advice on how to manage or reverse these effects.
