My hair is long but it is dead, unhealthy, falling out and i'm scared of getting bald. What remedies can you suggest for me? I put shampoo everytime i take a bath and nothing else. Should i go to the hair salon for a hari treatment? Or what?

You should cut them a bit in order to have healthy ends. Do you apply any masks to give them the ingredients that they need? I don't kmow any remedies but I know that natural oils can do good work on damaged hair. I am applying olive oil every once in a while and let them wrapped in a warm towel for an hour with the oil before washing them.

Really? you put olive oil and does it smell? and what do you do afterwards you wash them away? or do you heat the olive oil firs before putting it to your hair?

You don't need to heat it Just take a brush through your head first to kind of work up any thing blocking the pores, then spread the oil even through your hair and rubbing it into the scalp. Leave it on just like besweet said in a warm towel or you can use an old t-shirt. When rinsing, do not apply water first. instead apply the shampoo and soap your hair up just as you normally would then rinse with water. You may have to do another shampoo after that one.

Yes, it is done like cupkitty described it! You might think that it will stay on the hair but it goes away very easily with your regular shampoo and the hair is refreshed afterwards. It just needs patience when applied because it might leave stains on your clothes and towel if you are not careful! Then my hair look shiny and nice, olive oil is very nourishing.

Don't wash your hair everyday with shampoo, this is how my hair started falling too. Actually it's ok if you don't wash your hair after a day of using shampoo. also eat some chicken liver and onion and take vitamins.

You need to be conditioning/moisturizing your hair. Shampoo strips all the natural oils out of it In fact I don't even use shampoo except maybe fore clarifying. The right conditioners clean your hair just as well if used correctly and your hair will not fall out in the process and you don't need to do it every day Falling out hair can also be due to blocked follicles. A change in diet might also be necessary.

If nothing we've suggested helps you. you would probably do well to visit the salon. I had some issues with my hair color before and they did a great job of fixing it.

I think the best is to stop using your current shampoo. Coz it may be one cause. Also, you might be getting too stressed, and it has also been related to loss of hair. You can ask from a salon which kind of shampoo you need to use. And also, if you want to make use of shampoo, much better to use it atleast 3x a week only.
