  5. Ive been losing around 20-50 hairs during hair wash and about 40 hairs while combing. The water here in Kolkata has a lot of iron, which I think might be affecting my hair. I have health issues like PCOD and low hemoglobin, and I take Livogen Z, Follihair tablets, and some Ayurvedic medicines like Kanchanaar Guggul and Triphala Ras for cysts in my ovaries and uterus. My hair has been thinning a lot, especially in the front. I recently straightened it too. How long should I continue taking Follihair and Livogen Z? Also, could you recommend the best shampoo to help reduce hair loss and improve my hair health?

-Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo with chelating agents to counter iron buildup in the waterlook for ones labeled for "hard water." Continue Follihair and Livogen Z for at least 3-6 months or as advised by your doctor. Avoid frequent heat treatments an
