All of us have hair on top and back of our heads. When this hair starts disappearing it is called alopecia, hair loss or baldness.
Usually the hair grows at the rate of 6 inches per year. Hair which we see are composed of dead keratin cells which are pushed outwards by the new cells produced by the hair follicles.
An adult head has around 100,000 hairs. We naturally loose around 100 hairs per day which are naturally replaced all the time. So, if we find some hairs on the pillow or hairbrush it does not mean that we suffer from alopecia or baldness.
Genetic predisposition: Genes from our parents influence our tendency to have male or female pattern baldness.

Also dilute the shampoo before using because they are too concentrated. Shampoos and conditioners just clean the hair and nothing more; they do not treat alopecia or baldness.
Proper brushing is very important as it distribute the hair's natural oil. It would do more for the long-term health of your hair and scalp than wasting money on haircare products. Start with 10 to 20 strokes a day and try to work up to 100. Be gentle and avoid brushing when your hair are wet.
Yoga helps in relaxation of stress which may be a factor in some cases of hair loss.
A balanced diet including fruits and vegetables should be a norm.
