Hair fall issue
I've started to have severe hair fall past few weeks. I'm shedding a bunch every time I comb my hair. I usually maintain good hair hygiene (not combing when wet, keeping them in loose braid). I use basic shampoo (Tresemme) . I don't use conditioner as it makes it greasy. I have oily and dandruff prone scalp. Please suggest what should I do to stop the hair fall?

Hairloss is multifactorial. A proper history and examination is needed.
Shampoos dont help hairfall.
Medications are needed and that depends on a proper examination.

Hello dear. Dandruff makes you loose hair. So does many other things.
A proper medical history, evaluation, scalp examination is necessary to give you accurate advice
For starters, you should be using a good anti dandruff shampoo and not OTC products
Use a conditioner as it makes your hair manageable and less prone to damage
For best results, consult with me directly via Practo pro app
