Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query & i have understood your concern of hair fall.
Hair fall in males is most commonly androgenetic in nature.
Other less common cause is telogen effluvium.
In androgenetic there is usually a family history of early baldness in father, brother, cousins etc. Moreover hair loss occurs in a pattern in androgenetic alopecia i.e mainly from the front, mid and vertex of scalp.
Treatment of androgenetic alopecia consists of topical 5% minoxidil solution and oral finasteride.
In telogen effluvium hair shedding is diffuse i.e from all of the scalp. Telogen is usually self limiting though topical minoxidil helps in faster recovery from increased hair shedding.
Follihair is just a biotin and mineral supplement and has no specific role in androgenetic alopecia though it can be useful in telogen effluvium and as an add on therapy to specific treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
Therefore you may take follihair but if your hair loss is androgenetic in origin you would in addition require specfic treatment for it i.e minoxidil solution and oral finasteride.
I would like to know whether is there a family history of early baldness in father, brother, cousins etc?
Does your hair fall affect the entire scalp Or is it mainly from the center part of scalp i.e front, mid and vertex of scalp?
Can you upload an image depicting the pattern and severity of your hair loss?
