Greetings. You could be having early onset andro genetic alopecia. This is common in those who are genetically predisposed to it, however, losing and thinning of hair early in adulthood can be depressing and may cause one to look older than one actually is. You'll need to see a qualified dermatologist near you. Further use of hair growth promoting lotions under prescription is advisable. PRP therapy is a good option and promising results with same are seen. A diet rich in proteins, fruits and veggies is suggested. Avoid or stop smoking if u r a smoker. Discuss these options with a qualified dermatologist near you in detail. (Caution: do not be lured by unrealistic claims and offers by quacks who claim to be specialists in trichology n cosmetic sciences or even saloons. Make sure u are treated by a qualified dermatologist).
Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru .

You could be losing hair due to dandruff.
Dandruff is a common occurence. It has a tendency to recur. You have to take continuous efforts to keep it at bay.
1. Shampoo hair as frequently as required. Keep the hair clean. 2. Avoid hair styling products till dandruff goes off. 3. Use anti dandruff shampoo which contains ketoconazole once or twice a week. 4.Oil clean washed hair. 5. Do not try to scrape or comb away the flakes. Be gentle with your hair and scalp. 6. Wash your combs and brushes regularly. Do not share them.
