Que: I started losing hair when I was around 18 years old, because I suddenly had a lot of problem with dandruff. Even though I was undergoing treatments for the dandruff, I could see that the density of my hair was reducing. I have lost hair from the sides of my head and the overall density of my hair is really low. Is there any way to regain the hair that I have lost or should I look at a transplant?

Ans: If the problem is not genetic, then it could be caused by several other reasons, such as improper diet, wrong hair care methods and even stress. It would be best to visit a doctor, who will not only be able to offer you a proper diagnosis, but also provide you with a proper course of treatment.
