What Causes Severe Hair Loss After Using Hair Oils?
Hi doctor, my problem is that when I apply any kind of hair oil, my hair fall increases four times more than my normal hair fall. I have made the oils at home by myself and inspite of that I have used olive oil, almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil, etc. But still anything doesn t work for me. Is there any reason behind this? Can you give me any suggestion so that I can control my hair fall? Will be very grateful if you reply soon.

Hello,
It may be due to a reaction to the particular oil. In severe cases, drugs like minoxidil may be required. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
