Brief Answer:
Regarding hair fall

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Most likely you have androgenetic alopecia which is the commonest cause of hair fall and baldness in males. I suggest you to use Minoxidil 5% solution, 1ml, twice daily. Use it on absolutely dry and clean scalp. In addition I suggest you to take oral finasterude 1mg tablet once a day at night. Treatment is long term and response takes at least 3-6 months.
Take care
