I am experiencing extreme hair loss from the past one week. When I just touch my hair some hundred strands come out. I have nice curly hair, don't want to lose them. I had typhoid a month back. I also have a slight itchy scalp. But this hairfall is sudden and extreme. I cannot afford to lose my hair. Please help.
