Hello and welcome to HCM
Firstly, you should know the possible cause for your hair fall, and we need to correct the same. Genetic or male pattern balding is most common. Stress and unhealthy diet causes deficiency in the body, and therefore causes hair to fall and become unhealthy, and makes the growth slow. It will take time and good treatment for new hair growth.
It is a common complaint and could be also increased due to stress, work, hair styling products, dandruff, change in water etc commonly.
Also you need to check for other causes like thyroid problems, low iron /hemoglobin, any illness like fever, typhoid, any long term medication. Any genetic hair loss, or balding in the family could make you more prone to hair fall.
You can check with a dermatologist regarding any tests required to check for these causes.
I would advise you to start on a hair supplement capsule like Keraglo Men or Follihair daily for 2-3 months to see improvement with applications advised. Any treatment needs to be taken for a few months regularly to see good results. Consult the doctor regarding how long to continue fenpecia and tugain but do apply it regularly and do not stop till advised so.
Be sure to take a nutritious diet and adequate rest, avoid stress. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Finpecia tablets will help you a lot if you have a genetic or family history of balding. It would be better to slowly reduce and stop the finpecia after consulting your doctor, if you ever experience any side effects. But they are usually rare. Some patients do have a bit of hairfall on stopping treatment but it is usually temporary. So dont stop any medication suddenly.

Use a suitable shampoo and conditioner like Hair4U.
Hope this helps you
