Hairfall is not due to one single cause. There are many conditions which can cause extreme hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause of hair fall with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes maybe nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia also called pattern baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Also one should refrain from home remedies as it does not give any relief from hairfall. Oil and shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin.Please contact me using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment

Hair fall can have many causes beyond nutritional deficiency. Biotin or supplements may not help unless the root cause is treated. Please consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and personalised treatment.
The Question is not which Biotin Supplement, But whether you Need any Supplement or Not.
Everything depends on your diet and if you are facing Hair Fall or Hair Loss there are multiple possible reasons like Stress, Vitamin D and B12 Deficiency, Low Hemoglobin or Low Iron levels, Low Folic acid levels, etc .
