HI,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition appears to be androgenetic alopecia.
Effective drugs and treatments are now available for such alopecia.
To start with you can use nizral shampoo on alternate days.
Consult a qualified dermatologist for proper treatment.It has to be taken for 1.5 -2 years continuously for optimum results.
Wishing you rapid recovery.
Regards
DrSudarshan

Hi,
As you do not have any systemic problem like anemia, thyroid, main causes ae eliminated.
Now it seems that hair loss might be to having long time of dandruff infection.
Consult dermatologist and go for extensive treatment of dandruff.
Use branded shampoos, hair wash.
Do not keep your hairs wet for more time.
Ok and Take care.
