If it's dandruff you could try Nizoral shampoo. It's for dandruff & can have a slight effect of lowering DHT which is a byproduct of testosterone. Male-pattern baldness is caused by a genetic sensitivity to DHT. Women actually can develop that too but it's rarer. Another potential cause of hair loss that wasn't mentioned here(I didn't see it if it was) was medication.
1ce you've done abit of research & maybe tried some stuff you can do on your own; it would be best to see a doc if your still concerned. Also the sooner you treat hair loss the more likely it is that you will be able to regrow the hair you lost.

Older women suffer from androgenic alopecia, just like men, though it is typically not as severe and tends to result in all-over thinning (though some women do get a bare spot at the crown). My hair stylist said it is quite common.
Here's what has helped me:
topical castor oil - I put a little in a shot glass and use a q-tip to apply to my scalp around once a week. In the beginning I did it more frequently. I leave it on an hour or overnight and then shampoo and condition.
DIY scalp tonic - niacinamide 8%, caffeine 6%, and melatonin 1% in distilled water. These are available for purchase on Amazon. I try to apply it every day in the morning. I patch tested this first on my wrist and then a spot on my scalp to make sure I would not have a bad reaction, and also to see if it actually worked.
laser hair comb - FDA approved device for hair loss; can be expensive
wild blueberries - I use around 60 g in my morning greens and berry smoothie
porcini mushrooms - I make a broth out of porcini mushroom powder and have a couple of tablespoons each day
