Yup Oily Scalp can accelerate hair loss..but is not the main cause of hair loss..oily scalp can lead to dandruff...Oily scalp is produced by the sabecous glands in your hair follicle..usually when you are stressed it will produce more oil.

What you can do is get a medicated shampoo like Nizoral which contains the active ingredient Ketoconazole..very good for dandruff and oily scalp (and is a very good anti androgen). But don't use too much..rotate it between normal shampoos..Also..you can use mild shampoo and wash your hair regularly and reduce stress. That will reduce  your oily scalp.

Nope never heard of it..do you have a link so i can look at it?
Plastic combs does not cause hair loss...just static...when you come your hair static can make your hair stick to the plastic combs..so those hairs in the Resting Phase (TELOGEN) means gonna fall off anyway will fall off..Even if you don't comb it with plastic it's going to fall off when you sleep sooner or later. Unless you use comb to pull your hair out there is no way plastic combs can cause hair loss..

Remember it's normal to lose 50 - 100 hairs a day...because it will grow back!
