Brief Answer:
Can be due to many issues, we must check

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. Hair fall is not only seen in the old. It can happen in the young as well and is caused by many different factors. I will list of some factors here. You tell me if any of them are true in your case.

1) Stress: Stress triggers problems such as alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and trichotillomania that lead to balding. The silver lining is that balding caused due to stress can be reduced by adopting stress management techniques.

2) Poor nutrition: Lack of essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins and minerals can lead to severe hair fall that could account to baldness. Balanced meals ensure proper supply of nutrients to hair follicles. Moreover, healthy food suppresses hormones such as DHT. Dihydrotestosterone or DHT is a hormone that plays a major role in causing hair loss in men.

3) Hormonal changes: Unhealthy lifestyle and certain kinds of medications or diseases can lead to hormonal imbalance in men. This imbalance could trigger excessive secretion of DHT hormone. As a result, hair begins to fall off.

4) Smoking: Reduces oxygen levels in your blood. The carbon monoxide, which you inhale, not only makes hair unhealthy, but also damages hair follicles. Additionally, nicotine hampers blood flow and affects hair growth.

Undisciplined life and lack of sleep are also causes of hair loss. Some of these causes can be controlled and balding can be prevented.

Ways to prevent premature hair loss

1) Take a diet enriched with proteins and vitamins, particularly B3, B5, B9 and E.
Minerals such as zinc, iron and magnesium are essential to maintain optimal health of not just your body but hair as well.

2) Simple changes in the lifestyle like a 7-8 hours of sleep and a glass of water every hour to replenish hair strands will surely bring a noticeable change.

3) Milk, almonds, spinach, broccoli, oranges, whole grains, spinach, fish, soya beans, egg yolk, leafy greens are all hair-happy foods, which boost hair growth.

4) Green tea is also effective to block out DHT.

Hard Water can damage hair in the long run. It really depends on wheree in Bangalore you live. If i remember correctly XXXXXXX water is soft water and Borewell water is hard water, though I am not sure.

Oil has never been shown to benefit hair growth or health in the long run
