Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
For dandruff, you could use a shampoo containing 2% ketoconazole 2-3 times per week for 2 - 3 weeks. Thereafter use the shampoo once weekly to maintain the effect. Do not oil your hair overnight.
For hair fall, a detailed history and examination is necessary to find out the type of hair fall.
You could use 5% minoxidil solution twice a day on the scalp after bath and at bedtime. You could also take oral supplements containing biotin, Cysteine and methionine. Have a healthy diet rich in protein.
Avoid mental stress by yoga/ meditation and stress will definitely worsen hair fall.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
