Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Firstly I have read your query and understand your concerns as you are losing hairs at early age with thinnig and dandruff.
Your Hair problems could be due to poor nutrition (thin hair) and fungal infection (dandruff and hair fall).
Hair thinning could be also genetically related which unfortunately doesn't have any permanent solution but they can be arrested or delayed by good nutritious diet like vitamins, proteins and minerals.
You need to have patience as fungal infection requires treatment (anti-fungal shampoo-Ketoconazole available in market with presciption) for longer time.
Hair loss can be regained by MINOXIDIL lotion application on bald areas.
Minoxidil should be used on absolutely clean scalp. Since the drug is available in an alcoholic base therefore it won't mix with Oil and Oil would form film impermeable to Minoxidil.
You may use oil 2 hours before shampooing hair.
Results are usually noticeable over a period of 6-12 months of regular Minoxidil topical use and oral treatment.
However you should take minoxidil only after consulting skin specialist.
Hope this detailed information will help you.
Regards,
