A member asked:
Can lice shampoo if left on to long cause perminate hair thinning and hair loss? on a 26 year old and a 3 year old little girl? my whole head of hair is damaged after using lice treatment and straightening my hair the next day.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
THINK: Hair straightening is notorious for damaging hair. The hair becomes brittle and breaks off. It will still grow back. If you must use a "relaxer" be very careful.
