Hair loss.?
My sister has super fine black shiny straight hair. She doesn't use any chemicals or hair styling tools. She uses Agadir shampoo and applies coconut oil or olive oil the night before she washes it but it falls out in clumps. She sometimes complains about an itchy scalp and recently I saw some fine white flaky skin (dry scalp). Do you think that the dry scalp is causing the hair loss? If so, how do you think we can get rid of it? P.S she washes her hair twice a week, trims once a month and eats healthy. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

This is WHY:
"Agadir shampoo and applies coconut oil or olive oil the night before"
WHY, WHO, told her to use oil on her FINE BLACK SHINY HAIR? People with HEALTHY, thick, silky, shiny, soft, smooth hair never uses HAIR PRODUCTS, OR OIL on their hair.
HOW? Change how she styles & take care of her hair. Those 2? Are NOT the same! Pixie hair styles is also best for fine hair, treat her hair like that of a baby's hair, using GENTLE shampoo or baby shampoo NOTHING ELSE. Her FLAKEY SCALP is also caused from not washing all the oil on her scalp!
Dry scalp is caused from the heat of the sun, wear a hat, and using hot water to wash her hair.
"You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesn’t get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,” Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.
Example from YA!: “Coconut oil dried and made my hair fall out? But I want to use it again, a few months ago I bought coconuts and extracted the oil from them at home and used the oil on my hair, after washing my hair it felt dry (but generally oils make my hair drier) and it made my hair fall in long strands while washing it out (but I have to say that I was losing a lot of hair at the time before using the oil).”
ANOTHER EXAMPLE: “so, i've been experiencing sudden increase in hairfall since the last 4-5 months and i think my hair density is also decreasing. i have just turned 19 this october. Every hair has a white stuff at the end.i lose around 20-30 hair while shampooing and around 15-20 hair while oiling.”
On page 83, a book called 'Me, My Hair & I' edited by Elizabeth Benedict, she wrote: "I knew my hair is thinning . . ." then she mentioned she had been using amla hair oil.
