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'm a brown-skinned girl and my dermatologist suggested I use KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM for the pigmentation around my mouth. I noticed it has 2% Hydroquinone, and I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe. Could it possibly make my pigmentation worse or darker? Can you help me understand if it's okay to use this cream?
KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM contains 2% HYDROQUINONE which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. It is generally safe to use for treating pigmentation issues when used as directed by a healthcare professional. However, prolonged and excessive use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin darkening, redness, or irritation. To ensure safe use of KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM, it is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application. It is also recommended to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation. If you experience any severe side effects or worsening of pigmentation, please consult your dermatologist for further guidance.
