It's been 1 month since my hair started falling. Actually I haven't a lost single hair in these years. So, I got a little scared. I first recognized it when I was washing my hair with shampoo. Only time my hair start falling when I was washing my hair. But in previous week whenever I touch my hair, 5-8 hair comes in my hand.
