Brief Answer:
Causes of hair loss listed below, treatment depends on the cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
There are many causes of hair loss and treatment depends on the cause.
The most common causes encountered by me are male pattern baldness, thyroid disorders, anemia, certain drugs, fevers like typhoid and malaria, surgery and chronic diseases including that of the scalp.
We first need to find out the cause of your hair loss and treat accordingly.
I recommend you to undergo haemoglobin, serum ferritin levels and TSH test to rule out the anemia and thyroid disease.
I also recommend you to upload the photographs of your scalp so that I can ascertain the pattern of hair loss.
Moreover is their any history of baldness in your father, uncles and grandfathers?
You can continue with hair vital shampoo. Hair dryer should not be used frequently as it can aggravate hair loss.
Yes you can go and see a dermatologist and get a complete work up done as hair grow back in majority of the cases.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
