General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand your concern as hair loss at such young age can affect confidence.
Hair fall could occur due to various reasons-
1.Hereditary in family.
2.Excessive sweating.
3.Dandruff.

Well hair fall due to hereditary cause cannot be avoided but can only be delayed.
So in order to prevent hair fall would advice you to-
Apply regular hair oil(use some ayurvedic oil preparation)
Shampoo should be usually avoided as they cause more damage than helping.
Using some baby shampoo is actually beneficial as they are mild in nature.

Dermatologist opinion is an option.

Hope i answered your query.
Thanks
regards
