HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, thinning hair could be due to less protein and hypo vitaminosis, some time it could be due to fungal infection, have some extra vitamin supplement and antifungal shampoo and best would be, "Selsun" shampoo stop applying any kind of hair oil, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
