Hairfall and dry scalp.
I'm having continuous hair fall since a year and now it's getting worse. I have dry scalp. I do oil it sometimes but I don't really get much time. I also have thyroid but hair falls even when it's under control. My hair falls off from the roots most of the time. Please help.
