Hi,
Thanks for writing to u.
Oily scalp can only lead to hair fall if having severe dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. Regular use of shampoo keeps oil secretion under control. However if dandruff is there use an antifungal shampoo Once scalp is clear, use a good hair supplement and apply minoxidil 5 percent twice in day for good hair growth. I would advise meeting a qualified dermatologist for proper prescription.
Take care
