I have a very dry scalp which I am currently trying to treat with specialised shampoo and conditioner.

However I have noticed my hair is thinner than it was a couple of months ago, so was wondering if a dry scalp can cause hair loss?

And also if it has caused the hair loss, would it only be temporary? As in the hair will grow back once my scalp has been treated?

Any serious answers appreciated, im quite worried about it. Thanks
