I don't know.. I have only been using olive oil for a short while, I thought it was making my hair shed a lot at first. When I put oil in my hair with my fingers, pretty much every time I move my hand away from my head there would be at least a couple of hairs stuck to my hand, sometimes more of a clump. So I decided I would comb my hair really well before I used it and then try it again to see if the same thing happened, and nearly nothing came out. So I came to the conclusion maybe it helps hairs that should be shed anyway along the way. Normally when I wash my hair I lose somewhere between 20 - 50 hairs when I condition, but I find after I have done this I don't lose any when I condition. I just put it down to them coming out slightly early.
I don't know if this sounds similar to what you were experiencing? Have you massaged you scalp without oil recently? I wonder if this might have helped the shedding along? I can't imagine that would be bad for your hair though. I hope you work it out.
