I've had my hair smoothened twice, and now I'm noticing bald patches and a lot of hair fall. I also have PCOD, so I'm really worried if that could be making things worse. Could the treatments have caused this, or is it more related to my PCOD? What can I do to improve my hair health?

In PCOD your hair will be week hence do not try such methods which would cause more hair loss,visit dermatologist for appropriate managemnt.

I've been struggling with acne-prone skin and came across Mama Earth's tea tree face wash and oil-free moisturizer. They say they're chemical-free, but I'm a bit skeptical. Are these products really good for someone with acne-prone skin, and do they truly avoid harsh chemicals? I'm curious if I should give them a try.
