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.
-
Limitations: Water does not effectively remove oils and product buildup, so occasional shampooing might be necessary.
-
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've been dealing with keloids on my chest for over 5 years. I went the allopathic route and my doctor used Cryotherapy plus steroid injections directly on them, which seemed to shrink them a bit. I also tried silicon gel sheets for a year. But now it's frustrating because I have 57 keloids in the same spot again, and the treatments only seemed to make a temporary difference. Is there any permanent solution for keloids that doesnt involve more steroid injections? Just wondering if allopathic medicine offers a clear treatment for keloids.
Your body has keloid forming tendency,if you attempt to remove one new one would come up,if it is cosmetically bothering you, you can go for one more course of treatment.
