Severe Dandruff And Hair Fall Problem. How To Control This?

Hi,I live in UAE. And I would like to know about the cause of hairfall. I do have dandruff which doesnt stay stable but comes and goes. Right now,its severe. I use home made oil. So,how many times a week should hair bath be taken? And does using shampoo daily damage hair or cause hairfall? I use it frequently cause my head is quite oily and hairs are very thin too. Thus,it sticks together. Well, right now I prefer ayurvedic shampoos.
