Help please! :)?

alrighty.. i have been having a really dry and itchy scalp lately... i find myself being extremely irritated by this and it usually happens late at night. i'm scratching it sooooo much. umm i've also noticed that i'm using a lot more hair than i used to be. my hair is thinning and i'm an 18 year old female. i have been the the dermatologist... and they say i'm fine... but i'm gonna find someone else... i just want to know if having dry/itchy skin and dandruff can lead to temporary hair loss? b/c... i really am losing a ton more than i should for my age!!! my hair is curly so it gets tangly a lot... it just seems like when i try to get out all the knots, my brush is full of hair. any suggestions? or advice?


p.s. i'm more scared about my hair loss!!! i don't wanna go bald at 18! haha.. i may be over exaggerating.. but that's what it feels like sometimes. :(

i don't think this is severe problem ... so don't worry....
Scalp goes dry when hair loses moisture. Dandruff comes when ur scalp goes dry .. and scalp loses its strength to hold hair and hence the hair loss... so u see everything is related....

Best solution for this is nourishing your hair.
Apply oil as frequently as u can... i recommend olive oil, but if there is something else that suits u better u can try that. Apply oil and massage. Massaging increases blood circulation in scalp and helps in nourishment.

After u r done with massage, cover ur head with wet towel dipped in hot water.. this provides steam to hair. When u do this more oil will get soaked in the hair and it will also moisturise the scalp.

Doing this twice or thrice a week is highly recommended.
Use mild shampoo and use conditioner for ur hair without fail.

There are a couple of other natural conditioners like egg which will be very helpful.
Also, ensure u have good diet. Eating healthy stuff also gives hair a healthy look.
There are a couple of tips available at following links, am sure u'll get some useful ones here:

Don't worry, i don't see any chance of u getting bald :P ... take all possible steps for hair nourishment...

Good Luck
