Your symptoms suggest chronic scalp irritation with Pitta-Vata imbalance in Ayurveda, likely aggravated by long-term exposure to chemical hair colors and scalp products. This can lead to burning sensation, itching, scalp sensitivity, dryness, and progressive hair fall.
At 74 years, the scalp and hair roots naturally become more delicate, so treatment should be gentle and nourishing rather than aggressive.
