Basically my roots are really soft, silky, straight and smooth the middle of my hair is less smooth and wavy but still smoothish but the ends feel like hay. I cut my hair but it still feels like that
I literally put no heat on my hair or extra products. And my ends are so dry and I have so many split ends. I’m not sure if it’s my anemia but anemia does affect my nails
If it affects your nails it will affect your hair. Both made of keratin. So getting a good trim bgg regularly and as far as the conditioners and oils etc. yes use them, but it will be a waste of time and money if you don't apply heat. Put an oil on, of your choice, wrap your hair in saran wrap and put your blowdryer on it for 15-20 minutes, depend in ng on the length and thickness. And then rinse it for just as long ,but with th ere coolest water you can stand. It will be hard to rinse it off with cool water but try to rinse off as much as you can. Use shampoo sparingly, but enough to create suds, especially in the temple area, rinse with the cool water and condition, or not. Depends on how it feels to you. Always try to wash in fairly cool water. If you can't handle it, then go ahead with the warmer water, but regardless, rinse with cool. The heat opens the cuticles on the shaft of the hair so they need to be closed up again. Hence the cool water.
Thank you so much for actually giving us real tips and not trying to sell us anything or make us join any club. It was truly refreshing. I watch your program all the time and love it!
I use mayonnaise in a hair mask, too. It's very moisturizing. I put the hair mask stuff on, enough to cover from roots to tips. Cover my head with a plastic bag, to hold in the heat. Leave it on for an hour or so. Then wash it all out. I ran out of regular mayo, and used chipotle-flavored mayo once. Once, but never again. My shower smelled like a deli. It made me so sick.
I stopped using any shampoo a couple of years ago and only cleanse my hair maybe twice a week. And I don't use a blow dryer. I let my hair dry naturally. I have low thyroid and since doing this, my hair has come back beautifully!
Maureen Baraban I use a cleansing conditioner called Wen. Then I apply a small dab afterwards as a leave in conditioner. I see that L'Oreal has now come out with something called cleansing balms which I think are similar to the Wen but I haven't tried them.
S. Woods Yes.......so?? Just as with anything on the market, it will work for some and not others. My hair was falling out and had gotten really thin. Now it's soft and full again because of Wen. Even got my sister using it because her hair was fried from bleaching and she loves it too!

The only downside to coconut oil is that it is in solid form at room temp. So, if you use this in the shower or bath, its going to melt to liquid form when in contact with you or the warm water. However once it washes down the drain quite aways and has cooled (and the water with it/that passes cools), it can go back to solid form and cause a build up and possibly back up your pipes. So depending what area of the country you live in, you might want to be careful how much/often you use oils that are solid at room temperature.
Susan Tapia that could work in warmer months/climate, but any temperature below 50F imma gonna skip the oil. I've this found keratin-based products to actually be a great way to keep moisture in 🙂

@Linda Glendenning It's not a myth. I have rosacea and hot/warm water makes it a lot worse. I take a fairly cool shower because of it and my hair has seen a great improvement since not using hot water on it or my body. Nearly every hair stylist, hair colorist or hair washer has mentioned to me that cooler water for rinsing out the conditioner is much better for your hair. Thankfully I have separate knobs for the temperature and pressure in my shower. The cooler water is great for waking up and feeling invigorated too.
I've done all this and only wash my hair once a week and still have dry hair ☹️ My mom and sis also had this condition so it most be hereditary. I also suffer from trichotillomania and I KNOW that makes it worse. The only thing that helped me in the past was having short hair and going to my hair stylist weekly. I can't really do that now with the covid virus and my finances that go along with that. It's a struggle
Look at my answer to Gianni de Rosi. I gave her a few tips that I think you could benefit from. I used to be a cosmetologist until I quit for nursing, so I kinda know what I'm talking about. I still have dry hair, but in patches, one on each side of my head, actually. But ascsoon as I could, I got it cut really short for me. Had to get rid of not just a colouring but a perm as well. Didn't think I'd ever have short hair again, but the love of my life died and I had to have a change. It helped me through some of the grieving process, lol.
@@weo-mum-mum thanks so much. I don't use heat and have been dying my hair all my life. I have almost all grays, and I refuse to be gray in my 30's 👵 My hair stylist tells me me some of the same advice but wants me to take vitamins to get my hair growth back due to my trichotillomania. Thanks for your help!! 💜
I once made extra virgin coconut oil at home. It was really high in quality. I was having heavy hair loss before but when I started using the oil the hair loss just vanished in two days. The problem is that it is really time and energy consuming task to make the oil and expensive too if you don't have coconuts at home.
CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT ALOPECIA?? I have Alopecia Areata and have had it ever since I can remember. I would really like to have your knowledge and tips. I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much!
I stopped using shampoo and conditioner last year. I now use Rye Flour paste/solution to clean and Camomile tea/lemon juice for conditioner. I do an Egg wash every few weeks to add protein. I've gone from HAVING to wash my hair daily and horrible itchy scalp, to cleaning every 4 days or so and my itching has gone. There are natural alternatives to products if people have problems
Tip for dried rough hairs : take aloevera gel , honey mix it apply on hairs for 1 hour then wash off. Apply serum before straightening hairs . Use sulfate free shampoo . Home-made shampoo : take cooking pan add 1 glass water , 1 lemon juice , some soap-nuts/sapindus cook 5 mins then blend it then put strainer on cup take out :) Drink lots of water Long hair : drink vitamin a b c juice .take blender add aloevera gel (vitamin b), carrot (vitamin a), lemon (vitamin) c 1 glass water ,1 tbs honey blend it,it's ready
Psoriasis, I've always wanted to know more and how I can relieve the syptoms and flare ups. I've had severe psoriasis for about 5 years and I'd really love your input Dr. Pimple Popper!
I would also like to know. I have never had oily hair (even if I leave it for 2 weeks). My hair is thick (thicker than my wrist circumference when in a pony tail) so it is difficult to get to the scalp. I always have to wash my hair with a hand held shower nozzle otherwise the water does not penetrate through my hair to my scalp. Please Dr Sandra Lee do a video on treatment of the scalp?
Faerychic You want a video on „the treatment of the scalp“ in general?? It could be a million different things that require a million different treatments. I know as a medical student some things are obvious to me that are not obvious to the average person but damn that‘s really hilarious. Please go see a dermatologist (and make sure you don‘t tell him to give you „scalp treatment“ you‘d really be insulting him/her and yourself). If you want tips on how to keep your scalp healthy (not treat anything) you can just google that. Your dermatologist won‘t be able to tell you a lot more about day-to-day scalp hygiene than the internet.
@@muathqadoura542 you'll lack bedside manner with an attitude like that. I hope I never come across you as a medical professional that I or my family would need one day.
I was diagnosed with HYPERthyroid and took the "nuclear option" to stop it. One of the effects of this disease is dry, scaly skin and dry hair. My nails also curled down on my fingers. Now I have to take replacement meds. Anyway, if you have a fast heart rate and the tell-tale dryness, be sure to have tests for an over-active thyroid ASAP. Untreated, it can damage your organs.
dwtbb00 stop washing your hair!! me and my gf and her sisters and mom and allot of my friends stopped washing our hair with shampoo.. after 2weeks your hair wil be all natural and not oily
Really appreciated that info on d r y hair..I was blessed with lots of thick hair!! Thank you for your kind words, nicley put about dry hair and what to do about it!!
I use coconut oil on my hair after I wash it and find it help my hair be less prone to getting tangled and it is smoother and I have zero split ends. The kind I buy is the Spectrum Naturals that you can get at the grocery store but I have used store brand coconut oil too.
xtafpfhr I just noticed your comment is from 2 years ago 😐 so I won’t hold my breath for a response lol. But I will cross my fingers....or I guess I could go ahead and look it up too 🤗😉
AMAZING! I'm guessing that there are different types of Dermatologists because mine refuses to include hair into the discussion. (I've got eczema & rosacea)
Can you please talk about how to have a conversation with your dermatologist about premature hair loss and its causes? How do you treat something that's not as serious alopecia without resorting to the various commercially available chemical remedies that may be harmful for pregnant women or women hoping to become pregnant. Thank you!
Hi my daughter had a stomach bypass surgery and has really dry hair and nothing help, can you please advise if there's something she can do for her hair?, thank you Dr Lee
Hi! I have/had super dry hair but I’ve been using coconut oil & or avocado oil on my hair trice a week & it’s working wonders. I warm it up, put it on damp hair then wrap it in a hair turban for an hour. Hope it helps.
can you please make a video of products we to buy like shampoo and conditioner and even leave in sprays that you recommend are good for our hair and won’t cause it to be dry? It would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for the tips! :) i have extremely dry and frizzy hair every day. It is so lacking in moisture that its been recommemded to me that i should apply a hair mask at least 3 times a week. But my hair still doesnt seem to absorb any of the moisture. When i apply the mask, its often too greasy so i have to rinse some of it off, so my hair becomes too greasy but then once its washed off or after a day or two my hair become dry again. And I've had my thyroid gland checked out so there doesnt seem to be any issues with that. Its so frustrating for me to get soft hair, it seems impossible. Ive used coconut oil, egg yolks, advocado, lemon juice, and olive oil as hair masks. They all work great but my hair just doesnt seem to absorb any of it and my hair just ends up greasy and sticky. If you have any more tips it would be great! :)
I really appreciate this but I naturally have super dry, coarse hair no matter what I try or use/ take. Any help with fixing my natural hair type? Thanks!
I have been struggling with extreme dry hair (feels like grass/hay) for the past 14years and I can't even tie my hair up in a simple pony tail or leave my hair untied. I have tried every treatment i could think of..went to soo many hair salons tried coconut oils, macadamia oils, aergan oils you name it nothing worked. Went to the doctor and had blood tests done and they say I am healthy nothing wrong except iron deficiency..I got so fed up that I shaved off all my hair last month, it started growing a bit and I can still feel the dryness. I am tired of wearing beanies everyday :(
Aww mannn that’s rough. How’s it going? Someone above mentioned mayo masks being amazing. Do try that! Even if it’s a few times a week!? And eating high quality (meat) healthy meat if possible for protein. God Bless
Hi, Dr Lee! My hair is damaged/feels dry to the touch, but it gets very oily very quickly. I try to wash it every two days, but it happens at times that I need to wash it the next day because I don't want to go out with oily hair/oily scalp. So, I feel like applying oily things and conditioner would make it worse. Is there a solution to this? I tried baby powder and dry shampoo to avoid washing excessively, but nothing really seems to work. Also, your video is great as always! Thank you!
I've kind of been experiencing the same thing recently (over the last year or so, I'm 28) and I make sure to put conditioner only on the ends and avoid the roots. I use a clarifying shampoo once a week and a regular shampoo the other 2 times a week I wash my hair (I heard washing daily makes it oilier so I cut down). I *never* had oily roots before, but like you sometimes even if I wash it the night before I have oily roots the next day. Not sure why!
Apple cider vinegar rinse. Really. By using a the cider rinse you return the acid balance to the hair. A cup of cider to 2 cups of water. Collect it as you do it, and rinse several times. Then rinse that with cold water to close the hair shaft. And don't scrub your scalp. When you do that it stimulates the oil glands. And try not to wash more than twice a week. Every time you do that you stimulate the oil glands and they just keep over producing. No more powders or dry shampoo. If you feel you need to use something then just buy straight up corn starch from the store and use that, lightly, and only on the scalp. Then brush it out carefully. Fragrances in the baby powder are not good. I spent most of my adults years with very oily hair to the point where, like you, I washed it every danged day to go to school. My hair was dry and damaged till I tried the vinegar rinse. Now I wash my hair only twice a week, and sometimes not even that if I'm just at home. I also wear my waist length hair in two plaits. It keeps it from getting damaged.
You may be thinking you need moisture but truthfully you may need a protein treatment. If your hair is processed, youll need a protein treatment. You may find your hair holds moisture better afterwards.
How do you treat very oily hair/scalp? Every time my 16 year old daughter goes into the pool, it gets very oily. It's very oily as it is & even more so after the pool.
I moved to Arizona and by hair is literally falling out!! Bad hard water, sun, heat! Gah!!!!!! I use high end everything and still no change. I do have bleach in my hair but it’s never been a problem until now!!😩
Because it’s scraping against and breaking off rubbing on your jacket or something . Like if it keeps breaking at shoulder length it’s because of rubbing on the shirt on your shoulders.
I actually think it may be because your hair has a lifespan. By that I mean your hair may stay in your head for e.g. 5 years and then it will fall out. And in that time it is only able to grow so much, say 12 inches, before it falls out. So it may actually be that your hair is unable to grow any longer in its lifecycle (the time it is in your head) if that makes sense… it will fall out before it has the chance to get past your mid back. I hope this makes sense! You could always try massaging your scalp regularly, that stimulates blood flow which encourages hair growth, but I doubt it would get too much longer. :)
Dimethicone is a KILLER for naturally curly hair. Any product with "cones" in the ingredients will coat your hair and weigh it down. For my curly haired sisters-don't use it.
I agree! Long term it dries your hair, other names for silicon :They can be found under names such as DIMETHICONE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONOL, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, AMODIMETHICONE, CYCLOMETHICONE. The easiest way to identify silicones is to look for words that end in one of these: -cone, -conol, -silane or -siloxane.

What about people who doesn't use sulfates in their hair products? For what I know, dimethicone is a silicone which only sulfates can wash out of your hair, and I've heard it's basically just a leyer that make your hair appear healthier because it just sit on top of hair strands, but underneath, hair doesn't have to be that healthy
*My youngest daughter has really dry hair for almost 3 years! She is now 8 years old...and still have dry hair. I have several children and cared for other neighboring kids not once have I ever seen dry hair in a child. Is this common or unusual? I have done deep conditioning, changed her brush and I have had to take over on brushing to reduce any stress to her hair. Her hair soaks up the deep conditioning treatments I do for her but in about 5 days maybe a week her hair gets all dry again. I am beyond concerned about how her hair is so dry and I mean like straw dry. I know if we dont get a handle about this then her hair is going to be a total wreck when she becomes a teen let alone a adult. She has long hair..like past her butt so I understand the environment can be a possible factor. Yet her hair is very dry over half the length is dry. I know your busy but this is something that I have done almost every home remedy and even store products to help her. HELP....I dont want her to have hardly any hair due to straw like hair :(*

Two things. 1, theres a guy called Brad Mondo?, on youtube, seems to know his hair,he said not to put coconut oil near your hair. 2, i use organic shampoo and conditioner one per week, first day, my hair looks good, second day i look like i slept in a ditch, my hair is dry and untidy and it seriously pisses me off, same result every time. I got mint shampoo because i heard its good, its not, noth my conditioner and shampoo are Avalon organics and and another one called Sukin...I sometimes use Jason. I find all of them disappointing and i just want my hair to look good. But as i said, the day after i wash, i look like i slept in a ditch.
I have super oily scalp and then the back and sides of my hair until tips are super super dry, even after I put serum...considering how well I treat my hair, I have a feeling theres smth going on with my system on not exactly hair...
Trisha Meloling try doing scalp treatments with avacodo oil ... massage in the scalp for twenty min ....and then put a plastic bag on and a hot towel out of the drier wrap around head for heat ..... sit and relax til the towel is cool ...around 15 min or so....then rince with cold water til its all out .... do that once a week .... this is what my clients do and they found relief :) I also do it.... just don't use coconut oil ... it's not the best and avacodo oils have way more nutrients and are better for scalp :)

Dr Lee , The last couple of years my hair has started to get dryer and dryer. Iv had a 2×3 patch on the back of my head for years that looks and feels like a rats nest everyday for years ,now I'm starting to lose hair there.

Any info from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks for the video Dr. Lee.

I have started extending my hair washing to once a week, but use dry shampoo (batist) once during that time. which contains butane (cringe). what do you think of these products? natural substitute?
What about losing hair Dr Lee? My hair has become very long and so I tend to wear it up most of the time, but when I brush it the amount of hair in the brush is frightening. I also have to give the Hoover a haircut to get the hair that's wound around the roller bar every week. Is this normal or is it only noticeable because it's so long? Thank you.

Dr. Lee, how do I get thinning hair to grow back full and lush. I don't want to go bald. I used coconut oil for some time now but it only help keep the status quo.

I've done all this and only wash my hair once a week and still have dry hair ☹️ My mom and sis also had this condition so it most be hereditary. I also suffer from trichotillomania and I KNOW that makes it worse. The only thing that helped me in the past was having short hair and going to my hair stylist weekly. I can't really do that now with the covid virus and my finances that go along with that. It's a struggle
Look at my answer to Gianni de Rosi. I gave her a few tips that I think you could benefit from. I used to be a cosmetologist until I quit for nursing, so I kinda know what I'm talking about. I still have dry hair, but in patches, one on each side of my head, actually. But ascsoon as I could, I got it cut really short for me. Had to get rid of not just a colouring but a perm as well. Didn't think I'd ever have short hair again, but the love of my life died and I had to have a change. It helped me through some of the grieving process, lol.
@@weo-mum-mum thanks so much. I don't use heat and have been dying my hair all my life. I have almost all grays, and I refuse to be gray in my 30's 👵 My hair stylist tells me me some of the same advice but wants me to take vitamins to get my hair growth back due to my trichotillomania. Thanks for your help!! 💜
Ooo sister, I struggle with the SAME thing as you. Going short helped as well but I want long hair 😅
As a Black Woman I can totally relate that we all share similar hair care techniques for moisture, healthy scalp 💆🏽♀️and healthy ends ✂️✂️

I once made extra virgin coconut oil at home. It was really high in quality. I was having heavy hair loss before but when I started using the oil the hair loss just vanished in two days. The problem is that it is really time and energy consuming task to make the oil and expensive too if you don't have coconuts at home.
CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT ALOPECIA??
I have Alopecia Areata and have had it ever since I can remember. I would really like to have your knowledge and tips. I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much!
Wash your hair with nioxin. It will help your hair thicken and grow.
coconut oil has helped me with my hair
I wash my hair once a week i deep condition it wish coco,almond,castor oil i dont over brush i also put hair mask during shower but it still dry 💔
Me too 😔
The same to me :(
me toooo 😭😭😭
Maybe you have protein overload
Are you drinking enough water ?
Can you do a video on treating dry, flakey aging skin? Please. Thank you.
Can you mention the medical name of the substances to look for in shampoos or conditioners, either to use or avoid??
Sodium laureth sulfate or sls
I stopped using shampoo and conditioner last year. I now use Rye Flour paste/solution to clean and Camomile tea/lemon juice for conditioner.
I do an Egg wash every few weeks to add protein.
I've gone from HAVING to wash my hair daily and horrible itchy scalp, to cleaning every 4 days or so and my itching has gone.
There are natural alternatives to products if people have problems
Tip for dried rough hairs : take aloevera gel , honey mix it apply on hairs for 1 hour then wash off. Apply serum before straightening hairs .
Use sulfate free shampoo .
Home-made shampoo : take cooking pan add 1 glass water , 1 lemon juice , some soap-nuts/sapindus cook 5 mins then blend it then put strainer on cup take out :)
Drink lots of water
Long hair : drink vitamin a b c juice .take blender add aloevera gel (vitamin b), carrot (vitamin a), lemon (vitamin) c 1 glass water ,1 tbs honey blend it,it's ready
Psoriasis, I've always wanted to know more and how I can relieve the syptoms and flare ups. I've had severe psoriasis for about 5 years and I'd really love your input Dr. Pimple Popper!
I would also like to know. I have never had oily hair (even if I leave it for 2 weeks). My hair is thick (thicker than my wrist circumference when in a pony tail) so it is difficult to get to the scalp. I always have to wash my hair with a hand held shower nozzle otherwise the water does not penetrate through my hair to my scalp. Please Dr Sandra Lee do a video on treatment of the scalp?
Faerychic You want a video on „the treatment of the scalp“ in general?? It could be a million different things that require a million different treatments. I know as a medical student some things are obvious to me that are not obvious to the average person but damn that‘s really hilarious. Please go see a dermatologist (and make sure you don‘t tell him to give you „scalp treatment“ you‘d really be insulting him/her and yourself).
If you want tips on how to keep your scalp healthy (not treat anything) you can just google that. Your dermatologist won‘t be able to tell you a lot more about day-to-day scalp hygiene than the internet.
@@muathqadoura542 you'll lack bedside manner with an attitude like that. I hope I never come across you as a medical professional that I or my family would need one day.
I was diagnosed with HYPERthyroid and took the "nuclear option" to stop it. One of the effects of this disease is dry, scaly skin and dry hair. My nails also curled down on my fingers. Now I have to take replacement meds. Anyway, if you have a fast heart rate and the tell-tale dryness, be sure to have tests for an over-active thyroid ASAP. Untreated, it can damage your organs.
How did they diagnose you with this? I have all the symptoms for a thyroid disorder but my bloods came back normal
Can you tell us how to treat excessively oily hair please?
I second that!
dwtbb00 head and shoulders
Good shampoo and conditioner, then use a dry shampoo other times to soak up extra oil.
dwtbb00 stop washing your hair!! me and my gf and her sisters and mom and allot of my friends stopped washing our hair with shampoo.. after 2weeks your hair wil be all natural and not oily
just use water

I use coconut oil on my hair after I wash it and find it help my hair be less prone to getting tangled and it is smoother and I have zero split ends. The kind I buy is the Spectrum Naturals that you can get at the grocery store but I have used store brand coconut oil too.
xtafpfhr i have a large container of pure coconut oil but I don’t know how to even use it. Could you tell me how please?

Excellent video, you are easy to listen to, clear instructions and a pretty gal! :)
AMAZING! I'm guessing that there are different types of Dermatologists because mine refuses to include hair into the discussion. (I've got eczema & rosacea)
I would love to hear about an excessive amount of dandruff or psoriasis. How to tell the difference and how to treat.
What causes hair to come out?
Can you please talk about how to have a conversation with your dermatologist about premature hair loss and its causes? How do you treat something that's not as serious alopecia without resorting to the various commercially available chemical remedies that may be harmful for pregnant women or women hoping to become pregnant. Thank you!
Hi my daughter had a stomach bypass surgery and has really dry hair and nothing help, can you please advise if there's something she can do for her hair?, thank you Dr Lee
Hi! I have/had super dry hair but I’ve been using coconut oil & or avocado oil on my hair trice a week & it’s working wonders. I warm it up, put it on damp hair then wrap it in a hair turban for an hour. Hope it helps.
Folliculitis is something I would love to hear about
can you please make a video of products we to buy like shampoo and conditioner and even leave in sprays that you recommend are good for our hair and won’t cause it to be dry? It would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for the tips! :) i have extremely dry and frizzy hair every day. It is so lacking in moisture that its been recommemded to me that i should apply a hair mask at least 3 times a week. But my hair still doesnt seem to absorb any of the moisture. When i apply the mask, its often too greasy so i have to rinse some of it off, so my hair becomes too greasy but then once its washed off or after a day or two my hair become dry again. And I've had my thyroid gland checked out so there doesnt seem to be any issues with that. Its so frustrating for me to get soft hair, it seems impossible.
Ive used coconut oil, egg yolks, advocado, lemon juice, and olive oil as hair masks. They all work great but my hair just doesnt seem to absorb any of it and my hair just ends up greasy and sticky. If you have any more tips it would be great! :)
Do u apply a heating cap I do and it works for me
@@riasmith7249 it works great, but I don't have one at home. I've only used it at a salon
Also try to not wash your hair much :)
Maybe vitamin D
I feel like my problem is having any desire to do my hair would a routine help? might be a silly question to ask but
Please make a video regarding excessively or chronically chapped/dry lips..? Thank you. :)
I have thyroid issues, I have a under active thyroid so I know exactly what you are talking about.
I really appreciate this but I naturally have super dry, coarse hair no matter what I try or use/ take. Any help with fixing my natural hair type? Thanks!
I have been struggling with extreme dry hair (feels like grass/hay) for the past 14years and I can't even tie my hair up in a simple pony tail or leave my hair untied. I have tried every treatment i could think of..went to soo many hair salons tried coconut oils, macadamia oils, aergan oils you name it nothing worked. Went to the doctor and had blood tests done and they say I am healthy nothing wrong except iron deficiency..I got so fed up that I shaved off all my hair last month, it started growing a bit and I can still feel the dryness. I am tired of wearing beanies everyday :(
Aww mannn that’s rough. How’s it going? Someone above mentioned mayo masks being amazing. Do try that! Even if it’s a few times a week!? And eating high quality (meat) healthy meat if possible for protein. God Bless
I knew I got good advise! Thanks Dr. Sandra Lee.
My hair suffers so much from my hypothyroid! Anything you can suggest keep it coming!
Some one from Pakistan told me to use mustard oil to help with dry hair due to my low thyroid problem.

Hi, Dr Lee! My hair is damaged/feels dry to the touch, but it gets very oily very quickly. I try to wash it every two days, but it happens at times that I need to wash it the next day because I don't want to go out with oily hair/oily scalp. So, I feel like applying oily things and conditioner would make it worse. Is there a solution to this? I tried baby powder and dry shampoo to avoid washing excessively, but nothing really seems to work. Also, your video is great as always! Thank you!
I've kind of been experiencing the same thing recently (over the last year or so, I'm 28) and I make sure to put conditioner only on the ends and avoid the roots. I use a clarifying shampoo once a week and a regular shampoo the other 2 times a week I wash my hair (I heard washing daily makes it oilier so I cut down). I *never* had oily roots before, but like you sometimes even if I wash it the night before I have oily roots the next day. Not sure why!
Apple cider vinegar rinse. Really. By using a the cider rinse you return the acid balance to the hair. A cup of cider to 2 cups of water. Collect it as you do it, and rinse several times. Then rinse that with cold water to close the hair shaft. And don't scrub your scalp. When you do that it stimulates the oil glands. And try not to wash more than twice a week. Every time you do that you stimulate the oil glands and they just keep over producing. No more powders or dry shampoo. If you feel you need to use something then just buy straight up corn starch from the store and use that, lightly, and only on the scalp. Then brush it out carefully. Fragrances in the baby powder are not good. I spent most of my adults years with very oily hair to the point where, like you, I washed it every danged day to go to school. My hair was dry and damaged till I tried the vinegar rinse. Now I wash my hair only twice a week, and sometimes not even that if I'm just at home. I also wear my waist length hair in two plaits. It keeps it from getting damaged.
Try coating your hair with oil before you wash it.
You may be thinking you need moisture but truthfully you may need a protein treatment. If your hair is processed, youll need a protein treatment. You may find your hair holds moisture better afterwards.
How do you treat very oily hair/scalp? Every time my 16 year old daughter goes into the pool, it gets very oily. It's very oily as it is & even more so after the pool.
Ive heard it's because of dryness. To compensate, glands make more sebum. Maybe it's dehydration?
I moved to Arizona and by hair is literally falling out!! Bad hard water, sun, heat! Gah!!!!!! I use high end everything and still no change. I do have bleach in my hair but it’s never been a problem until now!!😩
Why does my hair stop growing soon as it gets mid back?, I can cut it short and it will grow but it'll stop growing mid back and won't grow longer.
SAME !!! like how does she do that...
Because it’s scraping against and breaking off rubbing on your jacket or something . Like if it keeps breaking at shoulder length it’s because of rubbing on the shirt on your shoulders.
I actually think it may be because your hair has a lifespan. By that I mean your hair may stay in your head for e.g. 5 years and then it will fall out. And in that time it is only able to grow so much, say 12 inches, before it falls out. So it may actually be that your hair is unable to grow any longer in its lifecycle (the time it is in your head) if that makes sense… it will fall out before it has the chance to get past your mid back. I hope this makes sense! You could always try massaging your scalp regularly, that stimulates blood flow which encourages hair growth, but I doubt it would get too much longer. :)
Your hair is alive!
Dimethicone is a KILLER for naturally curly hair. Any product with "cones" in the ingredients will coat your hair and weigh it down. For my curly haired sisters-don't use it.
Thank you. It’s always someone with straight hair and no curl not understanding our curly hair has much different needs.
I agree! Long term it dries your hair, other names for silicon :They can be found under names such as DIMETHICONE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONOL, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, AMODIMETHICONE, CYCLOMETHICONE. The easiest way to identify silicones is to look for words that end in one of these: -cone, -conol, -silane or -siloxane.

Hi love your video
Would you be able to speak about Eczema on feet and hands.
Dr. Lee, you have such beautiful hair. How often do you wash it?
omg, Im so concern with my hair , ty for this
What about people who doesn't use sulfates in their hair products? For what I know, dimethicone is a silicone which only sulfates can wash out of your hair, and I've heard it's basically just a leyer that make your hair appear healthier because it just sit on top of hair strands, but underneath, hair doesn't have to be that healthy
My hair underneath is SO dry and frizzy unlike the rest, why is that? and ive been dealing with this for 9 years lmao
*My youngest daughter has really dry hair for almost 3 years! She is now 8 years old...and still have dry hair. I have several children and cared for other neighboring kids not once have I ever seen dry hair in a child. Is this common or unusual? I have done deep conditioning, changed her brush and I have had to take over on brushing to reduce any stress to her hair. Her hair soaks up the deep conditioning treatments I do for her but in about 5 days maybe a week her hair gets all dry again. I am beyond concerned about how her hair is so dry and I mean like straw dry. I know if we dont get a handle about this then her hair is going to be a total wreck when she becomes a teen let alone a adult. She has long hair..like past her butt so I understand the environment can be a possible factor. Yet her hair is very dry over half the length is dry. I know your busy but this is something that I have done almost every home remedy and even store products to help her. HELP....I dont want her to have hardly any hair due to straw like hair :(*
she needs to drink more water

Two things. 1, theres a guy called Brad Mondo?, on youtube, seems to know his hair,he said not to put coconut oil near your hair. 2, i use organic shampoo and conditioner one per week, first day, my hair looks good, second day i look like i slept in a ditch, my hair is dry and untidy and it seriously pisses me off, same result every time. I got mint shampoo because i heard its good, its not, noth my conditioner and shampoo are Avalon organics and and another one called Sukin...I sometimes use Jason. I find all of them disappointing and i just want my hair to look good. But as i said, the day after i wash, i look like i slept in a ditch.
I have super oily scalp and then the back and sides of my hair until tips are super super dry, even after I put serum...considering how well I treat my hair, I have a feeling theres smth going on with my system on not exactly hair...

sillytubeify baby powder works great as a dry shampoo
What about losing hair Dr Lee? My hair has become very long and so I tend to wear it up most of the time, but when I brush it the amount of hair in the brush is frightening. I also have to give the Hoover a haircut to get the hair that's wound around the roller bar every week. Is this normal or is it only noticeable because it's so long? Thank you.
