I've been experiencing hair loss from the center of my head, and it's definitely not a genetic issue. I've been using Navratna oil consistently for four years and have also been doing intense physical exercise to lose 28 kgs, while avoiding protein-rich foods. Could these habits be the reason for my hair loss? What treatments do you recommend?
