The scaling and oily scalp can be because of seborrheic dermatitis. It can increase hair fall too. Treat of hair fall depends on the cause and severity.

Hello dear. Shampoos with SLS are very good cleansers. In general, shampoos only clean the scalp. They dont cure or control hairfall.
Hairfall needs proper evaluation and treatment of the underlying cause.
Low density could be due to androgenetic alopecia.
