Can I wash my hair daily with water only?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, there is no harm in washing hair daily with plain treated water but prefer cold water. You need to check for excess chlorine or bleach in water which may cause dryness and split ends on repeated exposure.

Gentle Cleaning: Washing hair daily with only water is generally safe and can gently cleanse the scalp without stripping natural oils.
-
Hair Type Matters: If you have oily hair, water-only washing might not remove all excess oil, potentially leading to a greasy feel.

Scalp Health: This method can help maintain scalp moisture and reduce irritation for some individuals.

-
Personal Preference: If your hair and scalp feel healthy with water-only washing, it is generally fine to continue.
If you experience scalp issues or excessive oiliness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I'm feeling a bit better after having chicken pox for the past 12 days. Is it okay to have sex now, or would it be safer to wait a little longer?
