Some say's shampooing your hair everyday can ruin your hair follicles that may leads to falling hairs, I don have some experience on falling hairs & it's alarming to see a lot of hairs falling from my head while I was combing it. My mom told me to stop using my shampoo but I have problem about it. If I don't shampoo my hair it will become oily & sticky plus it smells not good & If I change my shampoo, will it guarantee me that my falling hairs will stop?.
Now I bought expensive shampoo & conditioner for my sensitive hair, & I do shampoo it every other day because an expert told me that the very best remedy to my hair fall is to mediate the chemicals that's ruining my hair follicles. All shampoos have harmful substance but tolerable ones, if used frequently more damage it may cause to our hair. I shampoo every other day just for cleaning purposes & to make it smell good. Our hair is our crowning glory, ones it goes it will never come back specially when we are aging it becomes a bit dilemma specially to men. There are artificial remedies now on salons & derm clinics but cost much. Not all of us can afford.
How about you? hope you liked my topic... (^_^)

They say rebonded hairs are sensitive, & hard to maintain am I right? You should comb it more often & avoid tying it. I'm lucky my hair is great & natural.. :)

You are blessed to have a great and natural hair.
No, mine is not sensitive and hard to maintain. In fact, sometimes i put clips on my hair for a change of look. But the moment i arrive home i have them removed and let my hair loose , so it can breath . LOL

Clipping & tying hair can damage our hair so badly, but honestly I always clip my hair, here in our place is too hot unfortunately we don't have aircondition appliances just electric fans so I can't help my self but to clip it. But I'm doing all I can to stop this habit of mine, it does damages my hair though..too hard headed of me.. :)

Dear friend,
I rarely use shampoos I use coconut oil most of the days before bath. It gives me a cooling to my head. I hope it would be better to use organic shampoos. Moreover at times it may give reactions to hair and creates damages to hair. May be it depends upon the quality of the shampoos.

i shampoo everyday, but only when i know that my hair isnt being damaged by the shampoo. if for example i change my shampoo and i notice i dont like it then i would rather have a conditioner. well, i just recently moved in london. for the first few days my hair kinda didnt went ok with the shampoos i used and i didnt have much time to go out and buy one since i was sickly so i just used conditioner.

You're in London now, wow..Hope one day I get to go there... Yes changing your usual shampoo has an effect on our hair, especially when it's in different country. Some components of the shampoo's not suitable for hair's like our. But eventually your hair will get used to it... :)

I don't put any shampoo in my hair now! I am using conditioner only. Since my hair is curly, every time I use shampoo my hair is messy. Then some advise me from a salon that I should not be better use shampoo for my hair because it can easily makes my hair messy and it can damage my hair too.

Use of Shampoo every day is not good for our hair. One of my uncle is hair specialist and he told us many times that you may do shampoo one times in a week. As per my uncle valuable opinion we able to keep our hair intact. My uncle gives us a one combo and advised us to use the combo for set our hair. After using two or three month we got a good result of it. Now we do not have to think for our hair. I think chemicals of our shampoo can damage our hair. So always try to wash your hair with naturals or herbal shampoo. I think you will get result.

Shampoos are designed to cleanse the hair and scalp, removing dirt and grime without stripping away too much of the natural sebum. They contain cleansing agents, perfume, preservatives and conditioning agents that can coat the hair shaft to make the hair appear thicker. Change shampoo every now and then , hair seem to develop a resistance to certain ingredients after a period of time. Do not throw away a shampoo that doesn't lather, some shampoo have less suds than others but has no effect on their cleansing ability. In fact, quite often, the more effective the product, the fewer the bubbles. Do not be alarmed if your have falling hair because 40 to 50 strand of hair lost per day and hair grow 1/2 inch per month.

I wash my hair about 2 times a week. I use a mild shampoo, usually with aloe vera. I also use contitioner and sometimes I masage it with a cream. The shampoos and conditioners I use are not expensive and I don´t believethat expensive ones are better. I take care of checking that dermatologists have helped make them instead of cosmetologists. That´s all. I think that my hair is better when I´m more relaxed and it is worse when I am stressed, no matter what I do with it.
