Doctors’ responses
Thank you for sharing this androgenic. Alopecia means l the hair follicles are more sensitive to hormones and can slowly become thinner, but it doesn’t mean that you will have heavy hair loss since you’re not seeing active air fall and your car looks better when you part it that is a positive sign-you are mostly noticing early thinking or just more scalp visibility, your home-made oil is excellent for nourishing the roots, so you do not need to stop it. Regular gentle scalp massage. Good sleep, stress control and protein. Diet with soaked almonds. Black sesame seeds and green leaf. Free vegetables will help maintain thickness To the above oil you even can add rosemary And internally take Amlaki rasayana-1 teaspoon with warm water at morning Ashwagandha churna-of teaspoon with warm milk night If your direction is good, then you can take Bringaraja churna -half teaspoon with warm water at evening Both these steps together will nourish the hair from both inside and outside and slowdown,further thinning naturally…

Ayurvedic Medicines (internal + external)
Safe options often prescribed for Khalitya / Indralupta (hair loss due to dosha imbalance):

Bhringraj churna 3–5 g daily with honey/warm water.
Bhringraj taila for scalp massage.
2. Amla (Amalaki rasayana)
1–2 tsp daily with warm water or milk.
Antioxidant, rasayana (rejuvenative).
3. Nilibhringadi taila / Bhringamalakadi taila
For scalp massage 2–3 times/week.
Supportive Nutrients
Since you already mentioned B12 deficiency & pre-menopause:
Vitamin B12 supplement (methylcobalamin form is best).
Vitamin D3 + calcium.
Iron + folic acid if ferritin is low.
Omega-3 fatty acids for scalp health.
What you’re observing:
The fact that your scalp “looks better” when you part your hair into two parts is a classic sign of female pattern hair loss, a type of androgenic alopecia. This pattern often presents as a widening of the central part, sometimes in a “Christmas tree” pattern, with diffuse thinning over the crown of the head.
Can This Be Changed?
Yes, the progression of androgenic alopecia can be managed and in some cases, reversed, but it requires a targeted approach. Simply changing your hair part can temporarily conceal the thinning, but it doesn’t address the underlying cause.
The Role of Your Homemade Oil
The ingredients in your homemade oil are commonly used in traditional hair care and have many beneficial properties.
Coconut oil and castor oil: These are popular carrier oils known for their moisturizing and conditioning properties, which can improve the overall health and appearance of your hair.
Fenugreek seeds, Kalonji (black seeds), Curry leaves, Hibiscus, Bringaraj, Amla, Tulsi, Panikoorka: These herbs are widely used in Ayurveda and have been traditionally praised for their benefits to hair health. They are believed to strengthen roots, reduce hair fall, promote growth, and nourish the scalp.
Should you stop using it?
There’s no need to stop using your homemade oil. These ingredients are generally considered safe for external use and are excellent for conditioning and maintaining hair health. However, it’s crucial to understand that topical homemade oils are not a primary treatment for androgenic alopecia. The condition is driven by hormonal and genetic factors, which these oils cannot directly counteract. They can help with the symptoms, like hair strength and shine, but they won’t stop the underlying follicular miniaturization.
