hello, hairfall can be androgenic or even hereditary. In your case its seems to be hereditary. You need to use a good anti dandruff shampoo and maintain good hygiene as it is one of the major causes of hairfall. you should take good balanced diet rich in proteins and vitamins. You can get yourself evaluated and use minoxidil ointment. It is a very usefull drug in reducing hairfall but its effect lasts only till the time you keep applying it. Once you stop using it symptoms re appear. Consult a dermatologist for treatment if you wish to start using it. Wish you good health.
