Expert Answer

Anything that is on the acidic scale is going to give you closed cuticles, and closed cuticles reflect more light and appear shinier. One DIY option is rinsing your hair with vinegar. There are also products you can buy that will give your hair the right pH.

Can dandruff cause hair loss?

Community Answer

In some cases, yes, the dandruff can trigger hair loss. However, it's likely to be a symptom, not a cause of some other condition harming your scalp. See your doctor for advice.

Question

What should I do for my dandruff? I've used many products, but none gave me proper results.

Community Answer

Mix yogurt and few drops of lemon juice. Apply it on your hair roots so that it covers your whole scalp. Leave it for 15 - 20 minutes. Then wash it with a mild shampoo. Repeat this 3 times per week.

Question

Can dandruff cause hair loss?

Community Answer

Yes. Since dandruff forms in between the hairs, it can reduce the connection between scalp and root tip, which can cause hair to fall out.

Question

I am having too much hair fall and thinning, how do I have thick hair?

Community Answer

Try avoiding a lot of heat on your hair, and when you shampoo your hair rub your head hard to help your hair grow. You can also try cutting it so it grows back healthy and strong. You can also buy products to help.

Question

Are olive oil and egg good for keeping hair healthy?

Community Answer

Yes, they are. You can use either one or a mixture as a mask in your hair for 20 minutes, an hour, or whatever period you want. You do need to wash it out afterward, otherwise it will make your hair and possibly your pillowcase or clothes greasy.

Question

How are onions beneficial for hair?

Community Answer

Onions' rich antibacterial properties help keep your scalp healthy and free of infection, promoting unhindered hair growth. These same properties also help control dandruff. Onion juice stimulates your scalp and improves the circulation of blood, resulting in follicles that are well-nourished.

Question

Should men oil their hair daily?

Community Answer

No. Oil helps dust settle. If you oil daily, you must wash every two to three days. A little oil to set the hair is okay if you maintain hair care regularly.

Question

How do I change hard to soft hair?

BenDawson

Community Answer

Use shampoos made for your hair type, and make sure to use shampoos with no harsh add-ins, as they tend to strip the hair's oils, making it hard, brittle and dry. Try a leave-in conditioner, and conditioner every time you wash your hair, rinse/wash with cool or lukewarm water. Never wash your hair with hot water. Don't shampoo daily - twice to three times a week is fine, the oils protect the hair. Try hot oil treatments and/or hair masks.
