Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss On Top Of Head At The Age Of 23

Hello Doctor, I am a 23 year old male student suffering from hair fall at the top of my head. I used to have fairly thick hair before and now the scalp is almost visible on the top and back of my head. My father only started balding after he was around 40 or so. I keep hearing that balding has no cure, but it is somehow becoming very had for me to accept the fact. Could you please suggest a treatment(temporary at least) that will not cost me too much right now as my earning days are more than a year away. Thank You.
