1. You lose a lot of hair every day and anti hair-fall shampoos aren't helping
Abnormal hair loss can happen in several ways. You may notice dramatic clumps falling out when you shampoo or style. Or your hair may thin slowly over time. If you're concerned about changes in your hair, check with a doctor (or professional).

Everyone loses between 40 and 120 strands a day, depending on how much hair you have, your age and your hair's growth cycle. People with fine hair tend to have more of it and therefore will lose more of it than their thicker-haired sisters and brothers.
2. Your hair gets oily and washing it frequently doesn't seem to help
Those with thinning hair may be more likely to also have greasy hair if they often avoid washing for fear of losing more hair. An over-production of certain hormones could also lead to both greasy hair and hair loss in some individuals.
Conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and malassezia affect the oil glands and create dandruff. Malassezia is a fungus that resides naturally on the scalp, feeding off the oils and dead skin -- but when it gets out of control, the overabundance of fungus can also block hair follicles, resulting in hair loss from inactive follicles.
