Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Hereditary hair loss is also known as Androgenetic Alopecia.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are approved remedies for Androgenetic Alopecia. They would arrest further progression of thinning and hair fall and even reverse early loss.
These are available on prescription of a dermatologist.
Treatment is long term. Effects are usually evident in 3-6 months and are maximum at about 1-2 years.
The response to treatment depends on how early therapy is started. The earlier it is started the better the response.
Therefore rather than trying home remedies I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.

Regards
