I suppose both sentences to be incorrect

As I understood you are trying to use scalp as = the skin covering the head, excluding the face...Ex:

Massage the shampoo into the scalp
But as you write about hair... you shouldn't use word scalp in your sentence at all

Hi Precious,

I suggest simply

My hair is falling out.

I'm losing my hair.

A scalp is a surface so in my opinion you'll have to use on.
