I wash my hair daily and i have never had dandruff in the past. I have experienced hair fall in phases but this time i feel it has been aggrevated. I do not straigthen or color my hair.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain hair fall along with dandruff can be due to a scalp condition known as Seborrheic Dermatitis and it is a common cause for hairfall as it can cause weakening and damage to hair follicles..

I would suggest you to start applying anti-fungal shampoo containing Ketoconazole, coal tar, salicylic acid, selenium, zinc, sulfur etc..
Wash your hairs every alternate day..
Keep your scalp dry and free from moisture..
You can do oil massage over the scalp and do steam application..
Use tea tree oil for massaging the hairs..
You can also rub baking soda over the hairs for relief..
Drink plenty of water and take a nutritious diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
