You can put oil on your hair everyday although it's not recommended.

Using oil on your hair everyday or too often can lead to excessive oil build up and a greasy appearance on your hair and scalp.

It's best to limit the oiling of your hair to 1 to 2 times per week depending on your hair type.

If you have dry hair you may need to oil your hair slightly more often than if you have oily hair.

It is normal to lose some hair while oiling your hair and scalp.

The massage when oiling your hair and scalp can naturally loosen and shed any hairs which are already in the phase of shedding which naturally occurs during the hair growth cycle.

Although if you have any excessive hair loss that is beyond the normal amount of hair loss during hair oiling then it can be a sign of improper application of the hair oil or another underlying issue.

Small amounts of hair loss during oiling of your hair is normal and nothing to worry about.

The small amount of hair loss during oiling of the hair is because the scalp massage can dislodge any hairs which are already nearing the end of their life cycle.

Massaging or rubbing your scalp too vigorously while applying the hair oil can also lead to increased hair loss.

Or if you use too much oil or the wrong type of oil it may lead to hair loss.

Using the correct type of oil for your hair and applying the oil to the hair gently can also minimize the amount of hair you lose during the oiling process.

If you have any significant hair loss during oiling you should see a doctor and consult with a dermatologist.

Or if you experience any itching, redness or discomfort when oiling your hair it can indicate that you have an allergic reaction or are applying the oil wrong.

To minimize hair loss when oiling you should apply the oil to your hair and scalp gently using a gentle and circular motion instead of rubbing it in vigorously.

And select and choose and oil that is suitable for your certain hair type and make sure that you wash your hair good after oiling to remove any oil residue.
