Brief Answer:
Nutrition and stress are key issues here.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. I have gone over your information in detail and I want to address a couple of issues before i answer about the hair loss.
1) Masturbation has nothing to do with your hair loss and it is a natural phenomenon, do not worry.
2)A helmet would not contribute to the hairloss unless the padding in the helmet is treated with a chemical that would do that. A good quality helmet would not have such issues.
3) I am not familiar with 'addgain' and cannot find info about it online, can you please tell me it's active ingredient(s).
Now to the issue of hairloss.
Hair loss and hair thinning in your age group are normally due to 2 things
1) Poor nutrition / Vitamin deficiencies
2) Stress.. mental and physical
You need to look into these two issues to see what is going on. We have good nutritionists here that can help you with a diet plan.
If the stress is the problem. We need to look into meditation and yoga they help the most in younger patients.
Now, from a more medical perspective, if you hair is falling out in patches or your scalp is very itchy.. then you might have an infection or other skin issue causing the hairfall..
Let me know what is going on. I hope this helps

Brief Answer:
Oils and Shampoo's are not the answer
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX Thanks for following up,
I understand that you are anxious about the hairloss, don't worry my friend. Remember, hair itself is a dead thing, it's the hair follicle that we must take care of. Shampoo's and oils are only cosmetic and is not the answer to your issue.
Why not try and nourish the hair properly with a good diet. I am sure it will help you over the next few weeks.
For the betterment of diet kindly follow the suggestions below:
1. Eat at least 3-4 different fruits saplings per day. Every fruit is good but you can make a combination of sour with sweet fruits such as oranges, papaya and other of seasonal fruits.
2. Pulses are good source of proteins. So everyday have a small bowel full of mixed pulses. Add green leafy vegetables additionally in the pulses which contains lot of iron and vitamins in it.
3. Sprouts are the best source of fibers, minerals especially iron, vitamins and proteins too. so add it at-least alternate day if you can not make in every-day's part of meal.
4. Over night soaked and peeled almonds will give you good vitamin E which is good for the hair growth.
5. Milk and milk products should be included in every-day's schedule.
6.Do light exercises, reduce your work stress as all these have bit impact on skin so also on scalp skin.
Try these things out for a few weeks and watch how your hair responds, i'm sure you will look and feel much better.

Brief Answer:
Dandruff, by the sound of it
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX By the sound of it you may be suffering from dandruff. There is nothing to worry about. Try using an antidandruff shampoo like Nizoral for about 3 weeks and you should see an improvement.
Do not worry about the brand, if not Nizoral, ANY shampoo with ketoconazole or itraconazole will be fine. Those are the important active ingredients.
Take Care,
Vinay
