Why am I losing hair by using castor oil?

Hello, I am a 30 years old male. I have been suffering from hair fall for the past few months. I tried using castor oil with coconut oil as it is thick. I noticed my hair fall increased after using castor oil even though it helps in hair growth then why am I losing hair by using castor oil?

@ankur-0 Hello, Castor oil is a great base oil. However, it is extremely thick and viscous and is also considered highly cooling. In certain cases of hair loss, where the scalp has a layer under the surface, applying castor oil may block out the sprouting of new hair by clogging the follicles of the scalp. This could be why you are losing hair. I would suggest you stop using castor oil and seek medical help.
