Its hairfall or not?
I shed around 4-5 hair while having a shower, 10 hairs while combing and shed 10-15 hairs if shake the hair with hands. I have thin hair from childhood but some of my hair are very thick while others are thin as it were from childhood. Can shaving off my head or trimming it to a very short length make all hair thicker or stop this hairfall? Is anything to worry?

Shaving head has no benefit, it is a myth. You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or  contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
