Can using baby shampoo like Johnson & Johnson actually lead to more hair fall for adults? I've been using it and noticed my hair shedding a lot more than usual. Is it possible that baby shampoo isn't good for adult hair, or is there something else causing this? Would love some insights on whether I should switch shampoos or if there's another underlying reason for the hair fall.

Baby shampoo is generally mild and gentle, but it may not provide enough nourishment for adult hair. In some cases, using baby shampoo can lead to increased hair fall in adults. I recommend switching to a shampoo specifically designed for adult hair, such as Pantene Pro-V or Head & Shoulders, and make sure to use a conditioner as well. Additionally, consider using a hair serum or oil to help strengthen your hair and reduce hair fall.

View allI've been using Patanjali toothpaste on my face to try and get rid of some pimples, but now my skin's super dry, really irritated, and parts feel like they're burning. What should I do to fix this, and is it safe to use toothpaste like that on the skin anyway?

Which oil is best for hair growth?
Peppermint oil with any carrier oil like castor oil,almond oil,Argan oil promotes hair growth by increasing scalp circulation. Also, frequency of oiling the hair must be individualised according to your hair/ scalp type. Persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp must avoid frequent oil application to hair while persons with dry hair may safely use oil for mosturizing the scalp.
