Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
In females hairfall mainly occurs due to nutritional deficiency.
Hair need vitamins and amino acids for perfect growth.
Also a rich blood supply strengthens hair.

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.
Minoxidil increases blood supply to hair root.
Apart from this you can also use tab proanagen or follihair tablets, these are rich in amino acids.

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.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
