My Dear
Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I have reviewed your problem and have the following measures to suggest so that you get relived soon.
1 you seem to have Telogen Effluvium which is a scalp condition in which there is diffuse hair loss and sometimes it can be drastic.
2 I believe that you have not suffered any severe episode of hormonal disturbance or illness of another nature in the recent past.
3 Please ensure that you are not anemic.
4 A patient with such a heavy hair loss is bound to be upset but there is hope. A good drug fro the condition is Biotin which works very well but takes several weeks or longer to show improvement.
5 several patients respond well to treatment using lasers, especially the Hairmax that can be used at home.
6 For dandruff, it helps to use shampoos containing ZPTO and Ketoconazole roughly twice a week or so.
7 Besides, a good diet, exercise. and healthy lifestyle are the basis of our wellness.
I am sure these measures will help you.
Best wishes
