Hello,

Thanks for writing here.

Hair fall can be due to androgenic hormones,stress,iron deficieincy,dandruff etc.

Exact cause needs to be detected.

You need to undergo certain blood investigations and it will be better to consult a dermatologist.

Applying hair oil do not have any effect on hair fall.

You can also shampoo on regular basis.There is no harm in it.

It will be better to add a conditioner as it will keep your hair soft.

I hope this will solve your problem.Take care.
