Hi As you have observed, the itching of the scalp may be due to dandruff. It may also be an infection or allergy to hair oil or shampoo too. Hairloss may be due to dandruff. Anyway you are keeping the scalp & hair clean. But the problem is continuing. Better get professional help. You can contact me at Surabhi Speciality Homeopathy
