Hi,
Hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like Androgenic Aloepecia caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics while other causes comes under Telogen Effluvium caused by fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines.
You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly.
You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp. You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements. You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepecia as it suppresses androgens.
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil. You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
