I've been dealing with some hair fall issues and saw a doctor who recommended Kz lotion and Recute hair oil. While the hair fall has reduced, I'm not really seeing any new hair growth. My hair still feels pretty weak. I've heard about using egg masks for hairare they actually good? Also, are there any foods that can help with hair growth? I'm really hoping to get my hair strong and thick. Any suggestions?
