Can Henna be applied on oily hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Henna is good for oily scalp as it causes dryness in addition to nutritioning the hair. If your hair is too dirty or oily then henna may not have a needed effect, so it is suggestable to wash with plain water, pat dry and then apply henna.

View allI've been struggling with an addiction to masturbation for the past 5 years and just can't seem to quit. I've tried multiple times, but my longest streak without it is only 10 days. I'm really at a loss here and wondering if there are any medications that could help me break this habit once and for all. Any advice?

Ive been dealing with this really annoying itching on my wrist. Then, after a day, it swelled up a bit. I tried using some turmeric powder and it seemed to help, but the next day the itchiness and the swelling came back, this time on the back of my hand, and the swelling was way worse. It kept getting bigger for about three days. I put some more turmeric paste on it, and now the swellings gone down on my hand but has moved to my fingers. The itchiness is still there, and the swelling is bad and hurts a bit. Could this be from an insect bite? What do you think I should do?

I'm 21 and have been struggling with really sweaty palms and feet, even when I'm in air-conditioned places. I went to a dermatologist, and they recommended ALDRY lotion, but I've been using it for five months now and it hasn't helped at all. What else can I try? It's really frustrating.
