Hello dear,

Before initiation of treatment for hair fall, the problem of dandruff needs to be addressed.
Dandruff is basically Seborrheic dermatitis & can be treated with shampoos or lotion containing salicylic acid, coal tar, ketoconazole, or selenium.

The causes of hair loss/thinning of hair are:
1. Environmental factors
2. Stress
3. Deficiency of certain minerals, vitamins & amino acids in diet. e.g. zinc, Vit B complex, lysine.
4. Any incidence of surgery, shock, etc.

Management includes:
1. Treating the underlying cause
2. Avoidance of stress
3. Dietary modifications
4. Minoxidil solution to be applied locally to stimulate the hair follicles
5. Multivitamin & mineral supplementation

So, it will be better to consult a Dermatologist to find out the underlying cause & start treatment accordingly.
There is no need to worry. Your hairs will grow back again.

Wishing you a Good Health
Take care.
