Hello and welcome to HCM,
You seem to be suffering from excessive hair fall. if you are a male, you may be more prone to genetic hair fall, involving the front and sides of scalp,esp if you have similar family history.
In your case, the hair fall ,maybe prolonged due to other factors as well, such as poor nutrition, stress, lack of rest, low iron and hemoglobin levels, hormonal changes, also any history of thyroid disorders etc. Dandruff,Chemical treatments on hair can also aggravate hair fall.
For your hair to grow well, it needs sufficient nutrition as well, and as you mentioned,your diet, work stress, pollution etc is a factor.
These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth.
You can consult a dermatologist regarding any tests that may be required to diagnose the causes. They can assess your hair in person and advise accordingly. They may advise hemoglobin, iron, hormone levels if needed.
For now you may start a Recute solution or Tress gro to scalp , along with hair supplements daily like Keraglo Men capsule. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months to see results. Use mild shampoo and conditioner like Hair4U.
Do start with the treatment as advised and see a doctor.
If your hair is very thin and scanty on the scalp, and medical methods do not work well for you,after a few months of observation, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP, as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation, if they feel that it will be a good option for you.
Also get a good nutritious diet, avoid stress,pollution, get good rest.
Hope this guides you.
