Hi,
There are multiple reasons for hair fall: poor diet/ low hemoglobin or ferritin/stress/ poor lifestyle/ hereditary/ using poor hair products etc to name a few. Once evaluated you can work on the issue, but its always better to start improving your nutrition and lifestyle quotient as those will always go a long way.
You could also consume some multi-vitamins especially with biotin. PRP is the hair rejuvenation treatment which you could consider where your own blood's plasma which is rich in growth factors and stem cells, is injected into your scalp.
You need to do PRP once every 4-5 weeks for a minimum of 6-7 times of optimal growth. You can also consider applying Topical Minoxidil 5% twice day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
