Hello,
You are suffering from hair fall and dandruff. You don't have a family history of baldness. You should keep your scalp clean. Use Selsun Z shampoo, antidandruff shampoo. Selsun helps to control dandruff by relieving symptoms like flaking and itching. It is important to keep your scalp nourished, apply almond hair oil or coconut hair oil on the scalp after bathing or taking a shower.
Take food that keeps hair healthy like spinach to battle brittle hair, lean poultry, sweet potato, cinnamon, eggs, oysters, iron, guava, etc. Take food rich in vitamin D, selenium, zinc, etc. You can also take supplements. You should take Minoxidil (Rogaine) to prevent hair fall and help regrowth of hair. Finasteride (Propecia) is recommended for men. Get clinically examined by a dermatologist. You may be suggested to get treatment done by laser therapy or recommended hair transplant therapy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
