Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
Hair fall could be due to
Androgenetic alopecia- where the cause is genetic and hormonal. Hair fall is seen as broadening of hair parting and hair fall is central portion and vertex of scalp.
Telogen effluvium where hair fall is diffuse and is due to stress, surgery, pregnancy any preceding chronic illness like typhoid, dengue etc, nutritional deficiency, thyroid disorder etc.
Localised cause like severe dandruff, psoriasis, chemical treatment of hair etc

I would like to know
If hair fall is diffuse or from centre of scalp
Any preceding illness, surgery, nutritional deficiency, thyroid disorder, stress etc
If having dandruff
If underwent any salon procedure for hair etc

Kindly answer the queries so that I can help you in a better way.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Take care
