A member asked:

Is hair oiling is necessary to keep your hair stay fine and strong for long period of time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair oiling: Adding oil to hair is not necessary for normal hair. What is necessary is a healthy life style, eat a healthy diet, avoid smoking and recreational drugs, limit alcohol consumption and obtain exercise regularly.
