Having dandruff means your scalp is dry, which can be seasonal especially in winters. So avoid over shampooing you hair and try minimising it to every 4-5 days. Natural oil that develops within 2-3 days are essential for hair , so frequent washing can cause dryness.
But in case of dandruff one can use ketaconazole shampoo.
For daily haircare, you should try
- being hydrated is important , drink plenty of fluids
- minimise on sugar
Eat healthy like salads, fruits, green veggies.
- breathing exercises can do wonders
-A good walk for 30 min, helps you keep your metabolism in check
-STOP scratching you scalp, it only aggravates your problem
-having vit E & C capsules, these have antioxidant properties
- avoid hard water for hair wash
- gentle hair massage have had good results, they increase the blood supply toh hair follicles
- application of Minoxidil every night
-multivitamins for 3month, to fulfill the deficiency

You have to treat dandruff first.
Wash hair 2 to 3 times weekly with selsun shampoo.
Avoid hair care products with strong chemicals for styling your hair as they tend to build up on the scalp.
Keep hair smooth by combing gently 2 to 3 times daily, as entangled hair tend to fall more.
Take adequate rest and avoid stress. Stay well hydrated.
Take healthy diet, with low fat and carbohydrates , high in proteins, vitamin B.complex and minerals.

Hi., I can understand your concern.
Clinically need to plan for few tests, like
CBC
TFT to rule out anemia and any thyroid issues which can cause mentioned symptoms.
Make sure you're taking enough fibre and protein per day.
Plan for yoga and involve in physical exercise.
