Oiling will increase the dandruff. Oiling is useless. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.,,

Application of oil and keeping it for long duration actually promotes more dandruff to form. Coconut oil is the better option and it should be used once or twice weekly. It should be applied one hour before taking a head bath. That much is sufficient for your hair. Hair oil is not absorbed in the follicles in the scalp. It is only helpful for the hair shaft. Hence it doesnt play a major role in improving hair growth.

please do visit your nearest dermatologist for proper treatment of your hair issues
