Can oil cause hair fall?

Hair fall can be due to iron deficiency, stress, or hormones rather than just oil. Before changing your hair routine completely, it is much safer to consult a dermatologist to find the real root cause.

I was looking up why my hair falls out in chunks only on oiling days. Apparently, the massage action just loosens the hair that was already in the shedding phase. But too much heavy oil can also choke the roots, which is quite interesting.

At Fortis Hospital, the trichologist told my sister that heavy oiling acts as a breeding ground for yeast, leading to dandruff and subsequent hair loss. It is always better to get professional advice for your specific scalp type.

Honestly, I used to do heavy overnight oiling with warm coconut oil, but it only made my hair fall worse. Now I only apply a little rosemary oil mixed with light carrier oil for 1 hour before shampooing, which works wonders.

Bro, I used to put gel and hair oil daily and my hair started thinning like crazy. Once I stopped keeping oil overnight and washed my scalp regularly, the shedding reduced significantly. Keep it light.

I find that sweating heavily during workouts with oil in my hair causes a lot of itching and hair fall. Keeping my scalp clean and oil-free during active hours really helped strengthen my hair roots.
