But since then i started experiencing thinning of my hair and loss of hair during hair wash, oiling and also lots of hair were there on my pillow in the morning. I also started facing stomach problems and get food poisoning every six months or so.

I do not have any more sudden, hard to treat breakouts. If i get anything, it's a barely visible bump that goes away the very next day. I have also noticed that my hair does not get oily anymore. I used to ha ... Show Full Comment
