I have curly hair and mild dandruff.if I skipped a shower for a day I will affect with a lot of dandruff and scalp will become every oily. When I do zero cutting (head shave) I notice patchy dandruff and red patches.

Losing ten to twenty strands is not significant... Maybe the dandruff is causing u to lose hair a little faster than normal... Oil massage at night is good after adding a little 🍋 lemon... Don't oil in the day as it attracts dust... Do it for some time.. it will definitely improve

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff which is why you see white and red patches. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
