It sounds like you have a dry scalp, which is causing your hair to look dull and be dry and is also causing your scalp to flake. These conditions could be caused by heredity or your environment but it can also be caused by lack of certain hormones or even your eating habits.
Initially, you should take proactive steps to take care of the dryness. Use
products for dry hair and
products for dry scalp.
Your hair and scalp are moisture starved, therefore you'll need
moisturizing conditioners to help keep both moist. You might even try an overnight treatment of
coconut oil. Some people swear by the results!
When hair lacks moisture, it looks dull and feels dry. When your scalp lacks moisture, it flakes.
If these products don't clear up the problem for you, I would suggest seeing a Dermatologist who can prescribe more potent products. If you think it could be hormones, talk to your local physician.
Remember too, that the foods you consume feed your body and cells. Eating
healthy foods and getting the right nutrients should help you over time!
