Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss and dry hair which can occur due to many reasons like genetic factor, fungal infection, systemic diseases and hormonal changes.

Need not to worry much. I would suggest you maintain complete hygiene and do hair wash at-least twice a week. Take Indian gooseberry powder with water once a day and use olive oil for massage. You should consult dermatologist once for proper examination.

The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test, and physical examination and may prescribe you supplements like Vitamin A, Omega-3 minoxidil spray, and vitamin E.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
