I'm really worried about losing so much hair every time I apply oil or shampoo. I don't even do an oil massage, just a light application, and I always dilute my shampoo in water. I've tried a bunch of different shampoos, but nothing seems to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is it necessary to do an oil massage? My scalp is super oily, and my hair gets greasy just after two days. Should I keep using oil anyway?

Since you have an extremely oily scalp and experience greasiness within 2 days, you can opt for a clarifying shampoo like "Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo" to help control oiliness and maintain scalp health. It is not necessary to apply oil if it worsens your scalp condition, but if you still prefer to use oil, choose a non-greasy formula and apply it sparingly to the ends of your hair rather than the scalp

Which shampoo is best for hair growth and thickness?

Shampoo doesnt promote hair growth but it can keep your scalp oil and dirt free and clean. Always choose a mild shampoo and dilute it with water before using it

I got Rica waxing over the weekend, and now I'm noticing some patches on my arms and underarms. They're pretty visible and have me worried, especially since there are more under my arms. I've tried using ice and Aloe vera gel today. What can I do to get rid of these patches? I'm really concerned about it.

I've been dealing with dandruff and a lot of hair fall lately. I'm also noticing some stubborn dark spots popping up on my back and shoulders, which I think might be from the dandruff. It's really starting to worry me. Could it all be connected or is there something else going on? What should I do to tackle this situation?
