Oily scalp and dry hair w/ oily dandruff - shedding like crazy!

[rapid]

Hello,

So it's been close to a year since I noticed large amounts of shedding. Before last year, I never noticed my hair shedding in the shower. However, for the last 10-12 months, I shed anywhere from 40-100 hairs when I shower.

I noticed something strange happening to my scalp in the past year. My scalp became much more oily and my hair became more dry, whereas before, my scalp was a bit dry. I have a strong feeling that my hair loss is due to my oily scalp. When I scratch my scalp, thick oily (looks like liquid) and sometimes slightly yellowish dandruff, gets piled in my finger nails. It's pretty gross. No matter how much I try and scratch this off in the shower, it never goes away. My guess is that the dandruff is blocking the scalp from new hair growth.

I've been using different shampoos like Nioxin and Regenpure to help the hair loss, but it hasn't been working. I found a shampoo specifically for this problem -- Root Awakening for Oily Scalp and Dry Hair. Has anyone had the same problem as me? And has anyone used this shampoo?
