Massive Shedding After Black Castor Oil

Hello everyone.
I've been using 5% Minoxidil lotion for some time, and my shedding really decreased. Regrowth is another thing, but I was happy anyways.
I bought black castor oil and I was rubbing it in my scalp once a week (left it for whole night, wash off in the morning). I was still on minoxidil.
For some time everything was OK, but after a month I noticed shedding. I stopped using castor oil, but I still shed like crazy. I lost probably 1/3 of hair.
I wonder what happened? Why some poeple can use oils on scalp, and for others it causes shedding?
And why it still continues even though I'm not using it anymore?
Few years ago I had micro-camera examination done (it was after a period I've been using coconut oil with herbs on my scalp), and I remember doctor telling me I have many clogged hair follicles.
I thought this time it would be different, because castor oil is such a different oil...

Shouldn't use oil on your scalp. Just shampoo with nizoral shampoo a few times a week and use your minoxidil twice a day. When you shampoo your scalp, leave in for like 5 minutes and use a stiff bristled brush while it's still in your hair and brush your scalp...then rinse. Try it out.

Don't use black castor oil. sh*t's poison.

Why it´s poison? I mean I used it before and I got a feeling that my hair got thicker but now I´m shedding really bad.
I use minoxidill 5% and dermaroller daily, I got great results at first but after 6 months I´m having a second shed.
