I have two children aged 13 & 9
For the past one year, I am losing my hair heavily.
As if I am going to get bald.

But, nothing is of help.

Brief Answer:
You need treatment under an expert guidance.

Detailed Answer:
HI N,
Thanks for asking. Have read your query &understand your concern.
- Baldness can be due to different causes...(like familial,infective,autoimmune,hormonal)
- I observe that you were using home treatment&local applications all these days. I feel you need to get examined by a Hair fall specialist/get investigated(blood test for hormonal ...thyroid ...problem,also to see symptoms of severe weakness&infection/pathological tests,biopsy of scalp&hair roots to confirm or exclude hair infection/specific tests for autoimmune cause.
Thus confirmation of cause can help in deciding cause specific treatment (which could be local &oral drugs/infra red or ultraviolet light therapy /hair transplant.)
In this scenario,you do need an expert hair specialist's consultation &guidance.

- Apart from this personal care like regular gentle combing,washing with advised shampoo., avoid tight tying of hairs&rough combing of entangled hairs,avoiding smoking,having well balanced,protein &vitamin rich diet are equally important ...in consultation of the expert.
I hope the answer helps . Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks
