Vigorously massaging hair damages the hair strands and roots. It can cause severe hair loss while combing or washing hair just after oiling.
I recommend not to use any chemical hair oil, use natural or herbal oils instead. Follow a proper hair care routine and use herbal products more than chemicals.

You should use chemical-free and herbal hair oils. You can make organic hair oils at your home. Or buy SLS and parabens free oils from your hair.
Apply warm oil to your scalp using cotton balls or your finger-tips. Oil should not be hot, it should be bearable warm only. Always comb and detangle your hair before oiling.
Use only finger-tips to apply and massage your head with light hands. Do not put pressure or massage roughly. You should not rub your hair too much, just massage your head and scalp.
Do not forget to wash your hair using shampoo to remove excess hair oil. Apply oil 1 hr before shampoo or at night before hair wash.

Combing hair just after oiling
I do not recommend combing hair just after oiling. Instead, comb and detangle it before oiling. Oiling and massaging scalp make hair roots relax and lose. Massaging increases blood flow into the scalp also.
If you start combing your hair just after oiling the loosen hair strands will come out. You need to leave your scalp and hair relaxed for at least half an hour. Combing hair can pull the week hairs and it will start falling out.
Combing hair can be a big reason for your hair fall after oiling. You need to check and change your habit of combing hair.
Your hair combing technique plays a very important role. If you comb your hair correctly, it can slow down hair loss and even promote hair growth.
Always start combing and brushing your hair from the tip first. slowly move upward toward the rood covering small sections at a time. This technique detangles hair very easily and decreases hair fall.

Tight hair tie
Just like combing, you should check whether you tie your hair properly or not. Tight hair tie pulls out the hair and results in hair loss. No matter you are tying your hair after oiling or before oiling. Too tight hair-bands pulls lots of hairs and cause hair loss also.
I recommend tie hair using a bit lose hair-band. It should not be too tight. take special care if you are going to tie your hair after applying hair oil.
Let your hair rest for at least half an hour after oiling. Then comb or tie it using any comfortable hair-band.

Hair wash
You need to wash your hair at least 2-3 times a week. Especially, if you oil your hair too much or your hair is oily. Oily scalp catch more dirt and cause the pores to get closed.
You need to wash your hair properly and clean your scalp too. Clogged hair roots cannot breathe and start falling very soon. Never forget to shampoo your hair after applying oil.
But, the main question is when should you wash your hair after oiling?
As already have told you that you need to leave your hair for some time after oiling. Your scalp and hair need to take rest after a proper massage. Combing, tying, or washing just after oiling results more hair loss than normal.
In my view, the best time to oil your hair is at night. Apply warm oil leave it overnight and wash it off another morning. But if you are applying oil in the day time do not forget to weight for at least 1 hour before going for a hair wash.

Chemical products
Hair fall after oiling is also a sign that your products are not good for your hair type. Avoid chemical products for your hair coz chemicals damage your hair. I recommend using a DIY hair mask or Hair oil for beautiful healthy hair.
Choose organic herbal products over chemical expensive products that give instant results. Avoid using hair spray or gels especially silicon-based products.
Apply hair spray, serum, or gels only if necessary and wash it off as soon as possible. Heating tools used along with chemical products can cause serious damage to the hair.

Wrong hair oil
You should use oil that suits your hair. Check for the labels if it is for you or not. You should not use thick or heavy oils if your scalp or hair is oily. Use Coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, or similar light oils for oily scalp.
I recommend clean more than oiling if your hair is oily. If you already have a sufficient amount of oil in your scalp then there is no need to use more oils. However, you need to wash your hair more frequently than dry hair types.
If you have a dry scalp problem you can use thick heavy oils. Use castor for better results. But be sure the oil you are applying is good for hair.

Rough head massage
You should be gentle with your hair. Hair also falls due to rough or vigorous hair massage. You need to treat your scalp gently while massaging. Do not rub too much.
Use your finger while applying oil and massaging scalp. Rough head massage results in hair loss and also made your feel uneasy. On the other hand, you will feel relaxed and fresh after a massage if done properly.
Can I comb my hair after oiling?
Yes, you can comb your hair 30 minutes after oiling. Combing just after oiling can cause hair loss as hair strands get lose after massage and oiling.
Apply oil using your finger-tips and massage for 5-10 minutes. Relax for half an hour or do some other works if you want. Then you can comb your hair gently. Start brushing from down tips to upward towards roots.
Can we leave the oil on hair for 3 days?
No, you should not leave the oil in your hair for more than 4 hours. There are pores in the scalp near each hair root. It needs to breather for proper hair growth.
Excess oil catches more dirt and causes clogged pores. You need to clean your scalp pores properly, to promote hair growth. Otherwise, the hair starts falling. Leaving oil for loo long also cause hair fall while applying oil.
