Personal problem with my hair

Personally I'm dealing with hereditary,which is not preventable. I am experiencing loss of hair in the front portion of the scalp. People like my friends noticed it so I tried to cover it up by growing my hair longer but it made the things worse,as my hair was growing long it started falling off in more quantity and it became weak as I never used to oil my dry hair. The doctor suggested me few vitamin tables and lotions and they quite done the job but its not gonna work permanently as my condition is not preventable.I will get bald as I will age,personally I don't prefer wearing a wig so the only solution for me is hair transplantation. Currently I'm a bit young for that so I'm trying to eat healthy,take the vitamin tablets and trying to keep my hair short so that will reduce that chances of my hair fall.
