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 really confused and a bit worried about whether masturbation is bad for me. Are there any harmful effects I should be aware of? Also, is there any truth to the idea that it could be related to hair fall or developing bald patches? I'd appreciate some clarity on this.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation is related to hair fall or the formation of bald patches. Hair loss is usually caused by factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. If you are experiencing hair loss, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm using Hair4U minoxidil 5 topical solution and I've got a few questions about it. How long should I be using it, and what happens if I stop? My schedule's pretty tight, so can I just apply it at night? If I see improvements and then quit the product, is that a bad idea does that mean I have to keep using it forever? Also, if my hair gets dry while I'm on this treatment, what should I be doing to fix that? Is it okay to use medicated soap or just water to wash my hair after applying minoxidil at night, and how should I go about washing my hair daily? I'm looking for some advice here.
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
