Question 1

i feel nauseas while i blow dry my hair. is that real or strange?

Accepted Answer

Faint?: Are you feeling faint after a hot shower or bath?  Then, the prolonged heat from a hair dryer may indeed make you feel queasy.

Question 2

is it dangerous to blow dry hair every couple of days?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: It can depend a lot on how hot, how powerful the dryer, as well as what else you're doing, like tugging on the hair. Pulling too hard on wet hair can damage it.

Question 3

air dry or blow dry hair, which is better?

Accepted Answer

Excessive heat: may damage hair.

Question 4

i've dry flaky scalp for years. never blow dry hair. tried different products. maybe not drinking 2 ltrs per day. bad days at random. completely lost.

Accepted Answer

Seborrheic Derm: This is a common dermatitis causing a dry scaly and itchy scalp. The shampoos we recommend contain either zinc , selenium , salicylic acid , tar or ketoconazole. Additionally topical steroids in the form of lotions or foams can be helpful.

Question 5

how to take care of extra dry hair?

Accepted Answer

Hair care: Avoid over-washing your hair. Don't apply shampoo directly to the roots. Distribute conditioner evenly through your hair. Avoid using hot tools (hair dryer, flat iron) every day. Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Do not comb or twist wet hair. Massage in warm olive oil or coconut oil and leave for 30-40 minutes before washing. Always use lukewarm (not hot) to wash your hair.

Question 6

solution for dry hair and dandruff?

Accepted Answer

Dryness or seb derm: I try to distinguish between flaking and dandruff caused by dryness, which i'd treat with a gentle, fragrance-free shampoo and perhaps reduced frequency of shampooing, and seborrheic dermatitis, which is more often associated with oiliness and a 'greasy scale', which i'd treat with a medicated shampoo containing zinc, or tar, or selenium sulfide, or salicylic acid, or ketoconazole.

Question 7

milk is good conditioner for dry hair?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There are a lot of very effective and not expensive hair conditioners available. I would try them first.  Rain water is very good for washing your hair, however because of pollution it might not be desirable nowadays.

Question 8

what are causes of dry hair, other than shampooing and using dryer too often?

Accepted Answer

That's about it.: Most dry hair is caused by over-shampooing and over-blow drying, no matter what you've read. Shampoo less frequently, perhaps only once or twice a week; add a conditioner; avoid blow drying and harsh styling products. That will work 99% of the time. If it doesn't, see your doctor to rule out an underlying cause.

Question 9

what should be done to curb gray and dry hair resulting from rebonding of hair?

Accepted Answer

: stop rebonding

Question 10

how may i turn my hair into silky, soft, flowing strands, instead of dead, unmanageable, dry hair?

Accepted Answer

What have you tried?: Unless you have an underlying condition such as thyroid failure, you will do well with many shampoos followed by conditioner rinse. Some people like to use Dove or Aveeno (oatmeal) (etc) body wash in the shower for their hair.
