Hair fall while oiling
I loose a lot of hair during applying oil and during shampoo.
I don't do oil massage, just lightly apply the oil. While shampooing, I dilute the shampoo in water. I have tried various shampoos. No chnage.
Am I following any wrong procedure? Is oil massage really necessary? I have extremely oily scalp and my hair gets greasy within just 2 days? Should I still be applying oil?

Hello dear. Of your scalp is oily then you shouldn't be applying more oil. Hairfall can be due to many reasons including dietary deficiencies
It'd be great if you could share your scalp pictures and medical history via online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment

Well if your scalp is oily then there is no need of oil.
Oil massages generally are good for a feel good factor and massage helps circulation.
Hairfall cud be due to different causes.
You need to take a proper consultation which will help in providing you the correct treatment.
