Thank you for the question.
Hair loss is associated to many factors .But hair loss due to heredity is usually seen
Kindly get yourself first checked for routine blood investigations such as hemoglobin etc.
If all the tests are normal, then you could start applying Minoxidil solution 2% or 5% . this should be supplemented with multivitamins .Biotin is usually found in multivitamins. Regular exercise/yoga ,stree free life style and balanced diet will all be helpful in reducing hair loss. You will begin to notice hair growth after a period of 6-8 weeks after following all the steps which is advised
Best Regards,
Dr Nithin
