DRY HAIR AND BREAKAGE

I'm currently living on an aircraft carrier. We convert saltwater in the potable water. The treated water is drying out my hair badly. What is a good conditioner I can use to keep my hair healthy and not so dry. I also had severe hair breakage right in the center of my head, what products do you recommend to help my bald spot grow in?

I would recommend a very moisturizing conditioner since you're possibly dealing with a hard-water situation.   A few that I can recommend are:

• Nexxus Humectress


• Suave Humectant


• Keracare Hemecto


• Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner


• Neutrogena Moisturizing Conditioner

For the bald spot, I would try two things:  Scalp massages and rosemary oil.  Rosemary oil is known to stimulate hair growth.  What I would do is get some jojoba oil and mix in a few drops of rosemary oil. Then use that as a solution to massage the balding area on  a daily basis.  You'll notice your scalp will tingle from the rosemary.  This is a good sign.

You can also try some over-the-counter solutions such as ORS Temple Balm which you should be able to find at a beauty supply store.
