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.

I'm 21 and I'm noticing my hairline is receding a lot, like almost half of my hair is missing. I'm thinking about getting a hair transplant, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Is it really worth it, and what are the upsides and downsides of doing it? Also, do you know of any reputable clinics where I could get a hair transplant done?
