Does conditioner damage hair?
98327
*Noddling solemnly* While many disagree I have to say yes, chemicals (even in conditioners and shampoos) can damage hair. One should only wash their hair often enough to keep it clean. Daily doses can over do it, especially if you use the rinse and repeat method.\n\nNow I cannot say if this is the cause of your problem, but beware products that contain alcohol or lauryl sulphate as they dry out hair and make it brittle.\n\nMost people routinely lose between 70 and 150 hairs from their scalp each day, mainly through washing, brushing, and combing.\n\nScalp hair starts to thin when more hairs are lost through normal shedding than the scalp is able to renew. About 40% of the density of scalp hair has to be lost before thinning of the hair becomes noticeable.\n\nHair loss can be caused by:\n\n    * Heredity. Most balding is caused by a genetic predisposition - in other words, it's part of a person's genetic makeup. This is called male pattern baldness, or hereditary balding or thinning. It is the most common cause of thinning hair.\n\n    * Illness, certain physical conditions, or their treatments. This can include high fever, thyroid disease, childbirth, inadequate protein in the diet, iron deficiency, cancer treatments, the use of certain medications, and other causes.\nFor more see http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/hairloss/HL_whatis.html\n\nSome good alternatives are found here http://www.answerbag.com/c_view.php/1654

Yes. medication can sometimes cause changes in your hair. It depends what the medication is.  There is such a thing as weighing down your hair with heavey preparations bought over the counter. If you have tried as many different products, as you say you have, this could be a reason for your unhappiness with your locks. Curly hair doesnt like to be weighed down.I am at a disadvantage  because  I can't see what we are dealing with. I'm sure that a consult with a reputable cosmetologist in your area would be a good place to start. They could recomend a program of hair care that you can live with. Finally, age does enter into the picture. As we get older we tend to lose the natural oils that kept our hair and skin supple and smooth. I hope this helps some. The suggestions here may cost  a little money,but, you're spending a lot on the products that haven't worked. Good luck

NO! That will dry your scalp more. You should wash your hair every other day or 2x's a week. Try using a dandruff shampoo like Selsun Blue or Tegrin.

no its not good because your hair needs its naturel oils to maintain its shine, also you should change the type of shampoo you use every 4 months because your hair will stop taking in nutrients. i wash my hair every 3 days and straighten it twice a week. hope that helped!

i am a hair stylist and i say yes but when you call to tell them what happened they will tell you to come in and they will check it to make sure it wasn't anything you did or could have done to mess it up. if you really wanted to you could make them fix it and give your money back.

It damages the hair tottaly. Here's something I found about it:\n\nextra heat means you should apply extra care to your day-to-day maintenance. Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week - or even more often if your hair is naturally dry. Make sure you only use good quality shampoos, conditioners and styling products, and have your hair cut before the ends start to split. These preventative measures will make the difference between a healthy or lifeless hairstyle.

Hair can produce excess grease if it is washed too much. On the weekends, try staying home for a day or two and dont wash your hair, it can help a lot! Try changing shampoos, condtioners, or other hair products and if all else fails see your hairdresser. Good luck!

your forehead will break out more if you tend to have oily hair or use to much conditioner in your hair.   Try not to put hair conditioner on your bangs

Well, there can be a lot of reasons. If you process your hair by dying or perming, you can be overprocessing it and it can be getting so damaged that it is breaking off and coming out. Time for a deep conditioner.\n\nYou could be getting older and it is just genetics starting to work on you.\n\nYou could have a disease that is stressing your body and causing your hair to fall out - or from not getting the right nourishment.\n\nYou could also loose your hair from stress - stress can affect the body in lots of ways. If it is coming out in clumps, maybe you should go see a doctor.

Hair loss (alopecia) can be a side effect of coumadin, though not very common.  I hope you are regularly having your INR checked by a clinic/doctor?  You should bring this up at your appointment and I recommend you discuss this with your doctor as there are a number of possible medical reasons for hair loss.

Somehow, I don't think you were referring to your hair??!?  There are people that do that for a living.  You should see one of them and ask about all the risks.  They should be able to tell you how well it works and if it is dangerous or not.

there is a product called root booster, but Aussie. You can buy it at wal-mart, and it works good. Also, to get more volume, make sure you get all of the conditioner out of your hair, and blow dry your hair upside down. You can also use a volumizing shampoo, set your hair with a mist, like a finishing spray so it doesn't fall.

Wash yourself with hair conditioner after work. Don't know why this works, but it does.
