    You need to have a healthier diet. Consume more protein, iron and don't wash your hair too much. If you still lose hair when you're older there's always rogain.

    Poor diet and stress can cause excessive hair loss. A good, healthy diet and minimum stress can help prevent hair loss. Also, a lot of cheaper products on the market aren't good for your hair. Salon professional products actually do make a difference, but if you don't want to buy them all the time just use them every now and again. Other factors causing hair loss are hair treatments, dyes, products such as hair sprays and continuously using heat appliances e.g. straighteners, hair dryers etc. This leads to breakage of the hair and can result in loss. Hope I helped. (:

    If you think hair loss is a hereditary problem and it runs in your family, then you must visit a dermatologist.

    As for dandruff, use ONLY authentic Loreal Elvive Anti Dandruff Shampoo along with the conditioner and masque. After using Elvive Anti Dandruff for around 8 months, go for Loreal Nutri Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner. It's going to make your hair very silky and would bring in that "ultra shine". It really works, Loreal is the world leader in all cosmetics. Visit their website here:

    Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.

    Hair loss that runs in the family can be treated with medicines or with surgery, such as a hair transplant. Some people choose to wear hairpieces, like wigs or toupees (say "too-PAYZ"). Finding different ways of styling your hair, like dyeing or combing, also can help. If hair loss is caused by something you can control, like stress or medicines, you can treat it by getting rid of the cause.

    use mild shampoos and try consulting a dermatologist. i also have dandruff and am using Johnson & Johnson's anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week. it contains 2% nizral and is effective. You can easily get it from your local medical store. and eat lots of raw coconut if you like it or not!! tell me if this suggestion was useful or not. :-)

    If it's androgenic alopecia, the only cure I know is by getting rid of the androgens. This could be done by chemical or surgical castration. I'm not saying that this is the only treatment, but the only one that I know of. It is a very drastic measure. It also doesn't recover lost hair.
