Hi!
Welcome to Healthcaremagic. com.

I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern.
Excessive hair fall can be due to male pattern baldness, physical or mental stress, anaemia or nutritional deficiency or certain medical conditions like thyroid disorders, low serum ferritin etc.
Take a nutritious and protein rich diet(pulses, milk products, eggs).
Use of hair supplements containing biotin will be of help .
Avoid routine application of gels or frequent blow drying of your hair.
Use a sulfate free shampoo for your hair twice a week.
A hair growth lotion or serum can be prescribed to you depending on the cause and severity of your hair fall.
Minoxidil lotion can be applied over the affected area twice daily.
Biotin containing hair supplements can be taken for 3-6 months.
Vitamin E is not much useful for hair

Hope this helps!

Good luck!
