I have a very bad itchy and dry scalp accompanied with bad hair fall, can you suggest a treatment? Do I need to follow any particular keratin diet plan too?

You must be having a condition called Seborrhoeic dermatitis . Start Ketoconozole based shampoo weekly thrice and have supplements containing Biotin . Itching would subside by its own. If the symptoms still persist meet a dermatologist for further evaluation.
