Is there really a relationship between hair loss and conditioner?

Recently, I have become concerned about hair loss as my hair has been getting thinner and the amount falling out has increased. I always use conditioner after shampooing, but I have become anxious that the residue might remain on my scalp, clog my pores, or worsen my hair loss. I understand that conditioner is meant to soften hair and reduce tangling, but I am confused because I have also heard that it is not good if it comes into direct contact with the scalp. I am wondering if it is okay to continue using conditioner while my hair loss is progressing, or if it is better to apply it only to the ends of my hair to avoid contact with my scalp. It would be very helpful if you could share your experiences or expert opinions on whether there is actually a relationship between conditioner use and hair loss.
