General & Family Physician 's  Response
Common causes of hair fall in female include fungal infection, iron/nutritional deficiency, hypothyroidism, poly cystic ovarian disease, alopecia areata (auto – immune), and too much use of shampoo, and dye/chemicals. Treatment depends upon the cause.
Advice
1.     High protein and vitamin rich diet such as eggs, meat, vegetables, cheese etc
2.     Do not take much tension as anxiety/depression aggravates hair loss
3.     You can take Revital capsule once daily temporarily to correct any nutritional deficiency. Or you can take any over the counter nutritional supplement
4.     Investigations
a.     blood Hb%
b.     serum TSH and T4
For dandruff
1.     Apply Scalpe shampoo (ketoconazole 2 %, zinc pyrithione 1 %) twice weekly for 2 months. You can purchase it online from Amazon.
