Is it harmful if I use sulfur soap on my hair?

I have a dandruff problem and no shampoo have been effective in doing any good. However when I started using sulfur soap (which I use in washing my feet), it seems to work. I have little or no flakes on my shirt the whole day. However I am concerned if the sulfur content might have an effect on my hair or scalp in the long run. I would appreciate any enlightening opinions. Thanks.

    Nope; its fine. Every shampoo that lathers has sulfates in it. It's what makes it soapy & clean(: however, it's what strips the oils out of your hair, which is how it cleans it. So, even though you might be getting good short-term dandruff relief, it can be drying out your scalp more. I would try getting some Morraccan Argan Oil (women use it to moisturize their hair & make it soft and silky) and rub a greenpea to dime sized amount on your scalp at night. It's the best thing to use. Use it in addition to your normal shampoo, you can keep using the sulfer one if you like the results.

    It's humorous that you simply deliver up chocolate as a purpose of zits, due to the fact that no meals has been demonstrated to purpose zits or pimples, adding chocolate. However, anything the case, I realize a method to eliminate a couple of even as(or no less than make it significantly unnoticeable). This procedure works regardless of what number of you might have. I'm fortunate to just get one or 2 a month, however I nonetheless come all set: (a million) Use a slight cleaning soap, I use Clean&Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser, and comply with the instructional materials. Normally, all you do is lather and rub the cleaning soap over your complete face. Then wash it off and dry totally. This will dispose of extra oil/filth out of your face. (two) Go out and purchase an astringent. I use Clean&Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent, and it has labored for me in a single day. Simply pour one of the liquid on a cottonball, and dab it at the affected locations. (three) To make certain blank dermis over a protracted interval of time (two weeks and past), use an exfoliating system to discard useless dermis cells. Cocoa butter plus floor walnut shell works good too (It is a face wash.) (four) If your zits is tremendously dangerous, additionally use 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol and lemon juice. Worst involves worst, get prescribed lotions that comprise benzoyl peroxide, which regenerates dermis speedily. (five) The greatest facet of your good fortune might be ROUTINE. Don't comply with those steps as soon as every week, however each different day at least. You are not looking for any awesome industrial product like Proactiv. Follow those steps for larger and cleanser dermis. :-)

    it sounds like a kind of bar soap that dries your skin, if that is what it does than putting it in your hair would probably dry it out,, and if im right then i suggest putting a little conditioner in your hair after the shampooing,, if you wash your hair every other day like most people then do the conditioner like that. likee monday shampoo and condition ,tuesday nothing,wednesday shampoo only, thursday nothing, friday shampoo and condition...really like twice a week just condition too!!

    hopefully you dont get too confused by what i said , if you do you can just email me so i can explain

    that dries out your hair majorly so I would skip that and try head and shoulders if that doesn't do the trick they do make serums that you can put on your scalp after getting out of the shower to help with dryness
