Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concern regarding hair loss and here is my advice.

Common causes for hair loss are-
- Nutritional deficiency
- Anaemia
- Thyroid problem
- Stress
- Chronic medical illness
- Drugs
- Heredity

We have to find out the reason for the hair loss first and treat it accordingly. Therefore please let me know if you are developing any bad patches or not? Are there any other symptoms like dry skin, dandruff, etc? Are you taking any medicines? Any past medical condition? Does anyone in your family has similar symptoms.

You can take biotin tablets for it. You should take it once a day for minimum 3 month. It will improve hair growth and quality and prevent hair loss.
You can use coconut or almond hair oil. Please avoid hair oil with menthol.
Mild shampoo likes MILDY or TRICLENZ will suit your hair. It is better to apply good conditioner after shampoo.
You should take diet rich in protein like pulses. Take sound sleep of 7-8 hours.
Some tests maybe needed as per your medical history and other details.

Kindly revert with more details so that I am better able to help.

Regards
Dr Vaishalee
