    Brylcreem will not make your hair fall out, and it conditions your hair. I have been using it for 20 years and have never had a problem.
  • Question
    Do I need to actually massage Brylcreem directly into the scalp like a hair tonic, or does that damage the scalp?
    Community Answer
    You do not need to massage Brylcreem into your scalp. It is not like hair tonic, though it looks a lot like it when applied. As far as damaging the scalp; I am not a dermatologist, but mine has never been damaged by it.

    Will Brylcreem help grow my hair?
    Community Answer
    It might, depending on the one you buy. Some of them have protein, which might help with hair growth to some extent.
  • Question
    Can I use this daily?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but Brylcreem is an oil-based product, requiring daily soap cleansing. You'd need to shampoo every day, which is unhealthy for your hair.
