Accepted Answer

No, No, No and No: The amounts of HIV virus typically present in bodily fluids do not survive outside the body for more than a few minutes. Transmission of disease does not occur if there is no contact with open wound/blood/mucous membranes (eye, mouth, etc). Hope this helps.

Question 2

how often should one wash hair?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends upon you specific hair ad how oily it becomes. For most people washing the hair 3 times a week is fine, others with very oily hair need to wash it every day.

Question 3

dr.bronner's bar soap okay to wash hair with?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't : I'm not specifically familiar with this soap, but bar soaps in general tend to be pretty harsh on the hair. In a pinch you could use it but i would generally use products made for the hair that don't strip as many of the oils out.

Question 4

is it bad to use dry shampoo if you never want to wash your hair?

Accepted Answer

Water IsEssential to: clean. Shampoo, like other soaps/detergents, does not clean. They are emulsification agents which can coat groups of fat molecules at a submicroscopic scale, so that fat molecules (water rejects) will now mix (via the charged surrounding soap molecules) with water &amp; wash away. This is also why physical agitation is essential; it breaks up fat, &amp; other molecules, so the soap molecules can cover.

Question 5

i heard if you don't wash your hair with shampoo, it can make your hair healthier. is that true?

Accepted Answer

No: Although washing it to frequently can make it dry, not washing it at all will likely lead to greasy hair.  Find a balance.

Question 6

is it bad for your health to use a lot of shampoo like half a handful sometimes  it's because my hair is so dry it absorbs it quickly.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Soaps can cause dryness to the hair, some dermatologist only recommend washing the hair once a week. The natural oils of the hair are stripped when you wash too often. Hair will remain healthy without much upkeep. If you get dry hair or flakey hair you likely have dandruff and should use head and shoulders or neutrogena t-sal/t-gel. www.bmednyc.com

Question 7

is it healthy to wash hair everyday using only water and no shampoo?

Accepted Answer

Healthy but unusual: I guess there is no special health issues, depends how oily your skin is and how much environmental pollution you are exposed to. Any skin or hair needs some soap or shampoo to wash away certain dirts .As you wash your hands and body with soap, you need to wash your head as well with a shampoo.

Question 9

Question 10

i have been exercising a little bit everyday.i want to wash my hair each time bc i feel during but i use dry shampoo instead. how often can i wash it?

Accepted Answer

Hair washing : It is perfectly fine to wash hair every day. Dry shampoo does not remove the sweat and oils that are deposited on the scalp and hair during exercise. People with very curly hair may find it difficult to wash hair every day as the hair is fragile and will get damaged easily if overwashed.
