Brief Answer:
Hair growth is all about Nutrition and stress

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. Hair loss and hair thinning in your age group are normally due to 2 things

1) Poor nutrition / Vitamin deficiencies
2) Stress.. mental and physical

You need to look into these two issues to see what is going on. We have good nutritionists here that can help you with a diet plan.

If the stress is the problem. We need to look into meditation and yoga they help the most in younger patients.

Now, from a more medical perspective, if you hair is falling out in patches or your scalp is very itchy.. then you might have an infection or other skin issue causing the hairfall..

Let me know what is going on. I hope this helps

Brief Answer:
Dandruff is most common

Detailed Answer:
Dandruff in a fungal infection of the scalp and causes itchiness and hairfall. There are many over the counter dandruff treatments out there. My favorite is Nizoral. But you can ask your local pharmacist for something similar if it is not available.
