Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

For hair fall with hormonal cause, minoxidil is a drug of choice.
It needs to be applied for continuous 3 months atleast for appreciable effect.
Additionally you may take tablets with combination of calcium pantothenate, selenium, biotin for 1 month to control hair fall.

You may include fruits like pomegranate, orange, apple, banana with green leafy vegetables.
Hair oil application is not advised by us as dermatologist.

I hope it helps.
Stay healthy.
