Many people say coconut hair oil is a good conditioner. Is it true? It's excellent and seems to work well for headaches too. Massage it into your head an hour before you wash it (careful what you lean on, it's very greasy). Smells great too! You can buy a cheap tin from most supermarkets.

Hi, my hair has been falling out in big clumps for more than a year now. It freaked me out as my hands look like a gorilla every time I wash my hair. I mentioned it to my hairdresser and she recommended a Kerastase hair loss shampoo (Dh120) that worked for a bit but at the start of this year, the hairfall began again. I'm assuming it is age and/or stress-related as it has happened not just in Dubai. I went online, did some research on shampoos and customer reviews and landed on this one, which is sold in Boots in the UK and on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FKUGQZS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01 It's called for hair over forty (!) but doesn't seem to deliver here so best to get someone coming over to bring it. After a full bottle I can say it's definitely reduced the amount of shedding although not stopped it altogether but it's a fraction of what it was and the bottle lasts a long time. I also bought the 'hair skin and nails' vitamin tablets they sell in Boots on the pharmacist's recommendation as they contain biotin (hair strengthener) but I keep forgetting to take them. Good luck with finding something that works. It's very distressing and confidence-knocking but try not to focus too much on it - it can become an obsession and cause even more stress and possibly hairfall.
