General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Common causes of hair fall in female include fungal infection, iron/nutritional deficiency, hypothyroidism, poly cystic ovarian disease, alopecia areata (auto – immune), too much use of shampoo, dye/chemicals, lupus and cancer chemo/radiotherapy. I exclude cancer chemo/radiotherapy as a cause for you as you have not given any history of it. Treatment depends upon the cause. Other mentioned causes are treatable but need correct diagnosis and treatment by specialist.
Advice
1.     Consult a dermatologist of your area so that he/she can diagnose the cause
2.     High protein and vitamin rich diet such as eggs, meat, vegetables, cheese etc
3.     Do not take much tension as anxiety/depression aggravates hair loss
4.     You can take Revital capsule once daily temporarily to correct any nutritional deficiency
5.     Hair transplantation is also an option for you
6.     Investigations – blood Hb%, serum TSH
Thakns!
