There are many reasons for hairfall or thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Moreover, you should never self treat with anything. Please send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription.

Hello Mr. Naveen,
Losing upto 50 hairs per day is not a problem at all unless they are not growing back.
Losing hairs can be a multifactorial disease, few of which are:-
1. Genetic causes
2. Local (skin) causes of hair loss
3. Systemic or Generalized Diseases including thyroid
4. Bad diet or poor non-nutritious diet
5. Stress - job or any other emotional stress
6. During or after fever, physical illness or any other physical stress.
Next Steps
Please consult a dermatologist so that he or she can assess your problem and advise you accordingly.
