Can Oil Massage Treat Dandruff And Hair Loss Problem?

Hi,

I am 27 years old. I am suffering from Hair loss problem for the last ~5 years. I have tried many solutions but none of them is working. I always have dandruff in my hairs. To get rid of it now I have got complete hair cut . Earlier many doctors suggested me that I should nt use Oil in my hairs. Please suggest me should I use Oil or not? Also since I have short hair now should I do some kind of massage to stimulate hair growth?

cHi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this hair loss and dandruff.

If the hair loss is not caused by a particular problem, then treatment may be very difficult. Trying the various products available on the market may help but then there is no harm in being bald. You should rather focus on being comfortable the way you are and not looking for means to avoid that. Massage would not make any difference.

The fungi causes dandruff thrives exceedingly well in environments. Please, refrain from encouraging any further growth by applying oil regularly to the scalp.


I hope you find the above information helpful.I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for more clarifications and information if need be.
Thanks.
