Hairfall due to oil
I get a lot of hairfall when I apply oil, like 50 hair strands fall off. So should I stop applying oil? I am already taking extend hair tablet for a month now. Is oil causing the damage?

Not to worry....You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Hello,
Oiling doesn't cause hair fall as such until you are allergic to it or your method of oiling is incorrect. Vigorous massage during process of oiling is very common cause of hair breakage if already thin hair.
Try gentle massage and oiling prior 2 hours of shampooing is recommended
