Re: oily hair

[Guest guest]

Carolyn,

My hair has never been " oily " . Like inheriting CMT, I also inherited

thick, luxurious curly hair, which has been my 'trademark mane' for

many years. Daily washing with a gentle soap, followed by brushings

and combings in the four directions (earth, wind, fire water, of

which I am akin) have kept my hair in great shape for years.

Nutrition and exercise play a vital role in maintaining my healthy

mane too, yes, even in exercise, my scalp is air-ed through

sweating. This is good for scalp condition. Vitamin E and the Silica

in my water also add to the condition of my hair. CMT has nothing to do with the

condition of one's hair as a search of allopathic medicine under 'charcot marie

tooth oily hair' in my database showed nothing at all.

If oily hair is a problem for you, try daily washings with

Neutrogena's shampoo for oily hair, progressing perhaps to one of

the Aveda product lines, and then to Mane and Tail which is what I

use.
