A member asked:

My hair is very dry and damaged and i try oils it doesn't work coconut and olive and i try some treatment but it's the same what can i do ?

Conditioner rinse: Do you have choices other than foods? Do you use shampoo or soap for your scalp? How often? Dove body wash can be very effective for washing your scalp and is good for dry skin/ hair.
