Brief Answer:
Minoxidil and Biotin

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It is very important to understand that hair fall can only be controlled.
All hair fall medication works only till the time it is used.
Once you stop using hair fall will resume.
Hair fall medication show their result very slowly, usually it takes around 6 months to show some response.
I treat such cases with a combination of minoxidil and other medications.
Biotin causes hair growth.
It is one of the component of hair building unit.
It also promotes utilization of proteins by hair.
Use minoxidil along with biotin.
This combination works well.
Apart from this you can also use tab androanagen.
Regarding food you can take any diet rich in protein.
Also you can wash hair daily.
Washing wont cause hair fall.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you.
