hi,
diane 35 contains cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol and its mainly given for polycystic ovarian disease ,whch pcod s the main cause for hairloss in female , but diane35 alone doesnt relive u frm hairloss so u shld consult a trichologist for this ....use some mild shampoo and avoid overnyt apllication of oil and properly dry ur hair aftr a shower and also stop intake of oily foods .

Psychiatrist Dr. Alok Ranjan's  Response
LETS ERADICATE ONE IMPORTANT MYTH .
GENERAL TREND IS TO USE OILS FOR HAIR FALL.LET ME TELL YOU THAT OIL HAS NO ROLE IN HAIR GROWTH OR FALL,OIL ONLY ATTRACTS DUST AND HAMPER HAIR HYGINE,I AM GIVING AN ADVICE WITH FULL RESPONSIBILITY "THAT HAIR OIL ARE USELESS AFFAIR"
SIMILARLY,SHAMPOOS HAVE ONLY ROLE OF DETERGENT IN CLEANING THE HAIRS,BUT NO SHAMPOO HAS ANY EFFECT ON HAIR LOSS OR HAIR GROWTH.
HAIR ARE KERATANISED CELLS WHICH DO NOT ABSORB ANY EXTERNAL NUTRIENTS,ANY PROTIENS AND VITAMINS IN ANY SHAMPOO OR HAIR OIL REMAINS UNUSED.
IN MALE PATTERN BALDNESS OR ALOPECIA MINIDOXIL CREAM ON EFFECTED AREAS PROMOTES HAIR GROWTH.
MANY DRUGS HAVE COMMAN SIDE EFFECT OF HAIR FALL,CHECK IF YOU USING ANY SUCH DRUG.
IF VITAMINS OR SUPPLEMENTS WOULD HAVE ANY EFFECT ON HAIR GROWHT MY NO OF COLLEGUES WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN BALD .

Anesthesiologist Dr. Shivakumar. M. C.'s  Response
Hi,
Hair loss depends on many factors including hormonal, genitic, and some infection, so treatment of hair loss is challenging , if you have dandruf use ketaconazole head bath solution, if you are stressed take medication, minoxidil oint may be of some use as it increses blood circulation to scalp and may increase hair growth.
Take care
