A member asked:
Does hair still grow from the scalp even if it's dry? people say it needs to be moisturized to grow.

There is a time: For everything....Including hair growing, just maintaining, then falling out. The moisture of the scalp likely does not have much effect on hair growth. I'm sure it doesn't hurt to keep your scalp moisturized, but biotin, magnesium, zinc, and other nutrients are beneficial for hair ; skin growth.
