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'm dealing with some issues on my skin that have me pretty concerned. It started with red ringworms on my buttocks, and now they're spreading to my thighs and other parts of my body. I've tried using griseofulvin antifungal soap and cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you give me some advice on what to do next or suggest any other treatments?
no problem you take

I'm really worried about my complexion. I've noticed my skin is dull and damaged, and I'm looking for something to help brighten it up. I heard Restreta could work for whitening the face. Is it really effective, and how soon can I expect to see results? I was told it might show results in a month, but I'm curious if that's true. Would you recommend this tablet?
