Why hair fall happen during hair oiling?

Hair fall during oiling can be a concern for some individuals, and there can be several reasons why this occurs. It's important to understand that some hair shedding is a normal part of the hair growth cycle, and not all hair fall during oiling is a cause for alarm. However, if you notice excessive hair loss, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a dermatologist to rule out any underlying issues. Here are some reasons why hair fall might occur during hair oiling:

Normal Hair Shedding:

   - On average, people lose around 50 to 100 hairs per day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. When you oil your hair, it might loosen some of the hairs that are already in the shedding phase, making them more noticeable.

Improper Detangling:

   - If your hair is tangled or knotted, applying oil without proper detangling can lead to increased hair breakage. Gently detangling your hair before oiling can help minimize this.

Applying Too Much Pressure:

   - Applying excessive pressure while massaging the oil into your scalp can cause hair breakage. It's essential to be gentle during the massage to avoid unnecessary stress on the hair shaft.

Allergic Reactions:

   - Some people may be allergic to certain oils or ingredients in hair oil. If you experience itching, redness, or discomfort during or after oiling, it's possible that you may be reacting to the oil, leading to increased hair fall.

Underlying Scalp Issues:

   - Conditions such as dandruff, psoriasis, or an unhealthy scalp can contribute to hair fall. Oiling the hair may exacerbate these conditions if not properly addressed.

Poor-Quality Hair Oil:

   - The quality of the oil you use matters. Some hair oils may contain additives or impurities that could negatively impact your hair and scalp health.

Infrequent Washing:

   - If you don't wash your hair regularly after oiling, the accumulated oil, dirt, and dead skin cells can clog hair follicles, potentially leading to hair fall.

Hormonal Changes and Health Issues:

   - Hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and certain health conditions can contribute to hair loss. If you're experiencing persistent hair fall, it's important to consider these factors.

To minimize hair fall during oiling, consider these tips:

- Choose a high-quality, natural oil suitable for your hair type.

- Use gentle massage techniques.

- Detangle your hair before applying oil.

- Wash your hair regularly to prevent oil buildup.

- If you suspect an allergic reaction, try a patch test with the oil before applying it to your scalp and hair.

If you're concerned about hair loss, it's advisable to seek professional advice to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
