Vaseline doesn't have any moisturising properties when it comes to hair and inturn it makes your hair greasy and to get rid of greasiness it takes lot of shampoo which can make your hair dry. Short answer- no

Question

I'm really curious if onion juice can actually help with reducing hair fall or if it's just a myth. Ive also got a few bald patches and heard that it might help regrow hair there. Plus, can it really blacken white hair? Im unsure how much of this is true and would love your advice.

Question

I've been working as an assistant professor at an engineering college, and I've been using a skin cream called My Fair for about two months. But just last week, I went to my village and spent a lot of time working under the sun in the fields. This made my skin turn extremely dark. My friend, who recommended the cream, said I should have used sunscreen when going out. Thankfully, my skin's back to normal with the same cream, but I'm really troubled by what happened. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent this in the future and how to deal with this dependency on the cream? Id really appreciate some guidance.

Question

I'm dealing with psoriasis and I'm thinking about taking Aprezo tablets. Could you guide me on the right dosages to use?
