Hello Lybrate-user! hair loss can be due to various reasons, genetic, hormonal, nutritional, dandruff, stress ,pollution etc. We have to examine the scalp to know the reason for hair loss. If dandruff is present, it should be checked and be controlled in this age group. Blood tests like cbpesr ,tsh, lft, rbs, s.ferritin levels, s.b12 levels, s.vitamin d levels, s.testosterone levels need to be checked to know the reason and to focus on the internal factors. Mean while ,take balanced diet with proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, plenty of fluids for hydration, omega 3 rich foods like walnuts, flax seeds etc, iron rich foods like green leafy vegetables, liver, jaggery. Use a ph balanced shampoo .do not use too much of home remedies. Please do consult your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Both are effective depending upon the indication of using such drug. For example minoxidil works far better than procapil (mintop pro) in case of androgenetic alopecia and procapil is more effective than minoxidil in grey hairs/ cte. Visit nearest dermatolgist to find out the cause of hair fall and treatment can be advised accordingly. Thanks.
