Should I used hair products with nut oils if I am allergic to nuts?

I’m African American and I have dry, relaxed hair. So I constantly use oil in my hair. But I have always had issues with my hair breaking off and shedding badly. I am allergic to tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc) and I noticed that a lot of the products I use have a tree nut oil (usually sweet almond oil) in them. Even though I have never broken out or gotten sick because I used them, could they be the reason as to why my hair breaks off?
