One proven solution for hair loss is to take fish oil supplements.
The link between fish oil and hair loss is attributed to omega-3, fatty acids found in fish.
“Omega-3 nourishes hair at the follicles to boost strength, lustre and thickness while soothing dry, flaky scalps and inhibiting the inflammation that can result in hair loss,” explains Holland and Barrett.

“You may also benefit from joining a support group, or speaking to other people in the same situation on online forums,” advises the health body.
