I'm really concerned about these white lines that have appeared on both sides of my cheeks, and they've been there for about a year now. I just can't figure out what's causing them or how to get rid of them. Any ideas on how to treat this, or should I be worried about an underlying issue?

Can I wash my hair daily with water only?

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.
