Follow these practices to keep your scalp clean and healthy-
1. wash hair every alternate day- from root to tip.
2. Use a hair oil 1 hour before shampoo.
3. Dont rub your hair vigorously, gently pat dry.
4. use a conditioner if hair are frizzy.
If Your dandruff stays even after these practices, consult a dermatologist. The doctor will check if its normal dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis of scalp and accordingly you will be prescribed the medication required.

हैलो!
डैंड्रफ के कारण आपके बाल गिर रहे हैं। इसके सटीक इलाज के लिए संपर्क करें।
घरेलू उपचार जैसे अंदा दही इत्यादि न लगाएं। सप्ताह में तीन बार अपना सिर एंटी डैंड्रफ शैंपू से धोएं ।
Hello dear. Dandruff, among many other things can cause hairfall. Avoid shampoos with SLS. Use anti dandruff shampoo thrice weekly.
Avoid oiling your scalp. Don't use home remedies such as curd and egg.
Consult online for accurate diagnosis and treatment

Hello,
It seems more like a seborrheic dermatitis. Hair fall is mainly because of dandruff. Treatment of dandruff is important to control hair fall.
You need to share more details and pictures for concluding the diagnosis and planning a treatment
