Well I think what kick-started my hair loss was colouring my hair 3 times in the span of 4 months especially when I already reacted badly to bleach itself.
Secondly I went vegan for 2 years and had lost 5-6 kgs through unhealthy/ calorie deficit diet. I was eating 800 calorie diet some days.
So I changed all that. I ate chicken, eggs and dairy every single day. Never colored my hair. Took iron supplements because my iron profile test showed that was my ferritin level was 18 which was in the 'range' but we need over 70 for hair to stop from falling out and growing back in. My iron was in a good range but my storage form of iron i.e. ferritin was very low. For external treatment I started using mustard oil mixed with moringa and kept it on overnight.
Also my dad went bald in his 20s so I thought it was mainly genetic but losing 100s of hair everyday may be caused by other things as well. And it was for me. I would also like to mention that I lost my hair continuously for over 2.5 years no matter what I did but my diet was slowly making me better. Now I lose only 2-3 strands on wash days and almost no hair even when I brush my hair with the big ass brush that I own.
