A member asked:

Didn't comb out my hair for a week. a lot of hair lost when i washed it. could this happen ?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes. The "dead" hair that would have combed out in the daily combing, accumulated and gave the impression of "lot of hair lost".

My hair texture has changed a little, and stopped having frizz at all but at the same time there are very oily parts that dont go away even when I wash it, it changed when I start being healthy and drinking lots of water. Good or bad?
