What is the best way to restore hair that one has lost due to excessive scalp dandruff problems? Most of my hair loss problem occurred only during last 2 winters. My family does not have any history of baldness. My dad’s almost 60 years old and he probably has more hair than I do. I do not have a receding hairline but I have lost quite a bit of hair and am somewhat clueless about what to do.
Hair loss can be caused by a number of things, and excessive dandruff or seborrehic dermatitis is one of them. The most common cause of hair loss however, is genetics!
Have you consulted with a dermatologist to find the cause of your balding condition? Without knowing the true cause of your hair loss, a proper hair loss treatment can’t be recommended.
If you are suffering from male pattern hair loss which is genetic, hair loss drugs such as Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) may help you fight hair loss and regrow hair. These hair loss medications however, should not be seen as a miracle hair loss cure.
If the cause of your hair loss is excessive dandruff or scalp irritation, sometimes reversing the process with proper treatment will restore your hair.

lakshmi,
If you have not yet done so, I highly recommend consulting with a dermatologist. You doctor will be able to assess the cause of your hair loss and recommend the best possible treatment.
It is very rare for dandruff to result in balding and using different shampoos is certainly not a concern.
There is a variety of reasons why women experience hair loss. Rogaine (minoxidil) is currently the only clinically proven medical hair loss treatment approved by the FDA for use by females.

Fiezaan,
I think he's referring to the idea of improving the quality of hair and potentially reversing the hair loss by treating the dandruff/scalp irritation. While the scalp irritation isn't necessarily the root cause of the hair loss (this is genetics and an excess of dihydrotestosterone), treating the conditions (the dandruff and scalp irritation) can help prevent any excessive scalp stress and unnecessary loss.
I hope this helps!
