hello, i can understand your concern

you may have telogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia.
hairfall may be due to lack of neutrients like iron or protiens in body, it may also be due to derranged thyroid levels. so to rule out telogen effluvium i would advice you to get your hb , serum ferritin and thyroid levels tested.
it may be genetic or due to harmonal changes too.
application of minoxidil and oral biotins once a day can really be helpful to you. minoxidil is slow method, it takes time to show results and you have to be compliant with its use, leavingg it abruptly can again result in hair loss. so be patient and keep using it and changing the brand or weight do not makes any difference.
still if you dont find any results you can go for procedure like prp (plasma rich platelet) therapy, it could help you as results seen are very good.
and you can consider hair transplant too.
hope it would help.
thank you
