Question

I'm really confused about whether or not I should be applying oil to my scalp. I've read that some dermatologists say it's not a good idea, but others suggest it's okay. Can someone explain if there's any actual difference between putting oil on the scalp and not doing it? I'm trying to figure out what's best for my hair and scalp health and it's been really confusing with all these mixed messages from experts.
