Hi
You should apply oil regularly to your scalp for alternate days initially followed by a gap of three-four days after a considerable period of 1 month.
Mustard oil massage, curd, oil steaming are quite beneficial in cases of dried scalp.
You can also use homoeopathic treatment to improve your skin type as it is very effective.
