Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hair fall is not only due to vitamin deficiency but also thyroid dysfunction, anemia & protein deficiency or stress disorder. You should have CBC & TFT done & get a your general health examined. You should get rid of dandruff, use herbal shampoo/Selsun/head & shoulders. Keep your scalp clean. Have daily showers. You should take Minoxidil or Finasteride, it will help hair regrowth. Take healthy nutritious food rich in calcium, iron & protein. You can take multivitamin with B12, Biotin, Magnesium & Zinc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Minoxidil can leave greasy scales and cause dandruff if not rinsed off properly.it is advisable to stop minoxidil for the time being,use an anti dandruff shampoo alternate days for 10 days..once dandruff is controlled restart minoxidil but always rinse scalp with good antidandruff shampoo like sebovive on alternate days to prevent recurrence of this problem..you can also take oral medications like biotin with saw palmetto to control hair loss.
